Why can South Korea successfully apply for the Dragon Boat Festival as a world cultural heritage?

The Dragon Boat Festival in Gangneung is related to the Dragon Boat Festival in China to some extent, but apart from the similarity in time, the Dragon Boat Festival in China and the Dragon Boat Festival in Korea are almost two different things. Many customs of China Dragon Boat Festival can't be found in Jiangling Dragon Boat Festival. Sacrifice, performance and entertainment of the Dragon Boat Festival have strong Korean folk characteristics.

The success of gangneung danoje festival's application for World Heritage is firstly due to its well-preserved traditional kernel, and secondly, the Jiangling Municipal Government has spared no effort to promote it to the whole world in recent years.

Extended data:

In 2009, China successfully applied for the Dragon Boat Festival, and was selected as a representative of the world intangible cultural heritage. The rumor circulating on the Internet that "South Korea robbed China of the Dragon Boat Festival, which made China unable to apply for the World Heritage" is untrue.

The statement of "pre-registration" misunderstood the purpose of applying for intangible cultural heritage, and confused "application for heritage" with registered trademark. "Application for World Heritage" is to put forward the representative works of culture and let the whole world know and share them. This is not the same as trademark registration. It's not that gangneung danoje festival's application for World Heritage was successful. In the future, China people will have to pay after the Dragon Boat Festival. "
