Abstract

Korean ethnic group is an ethnic group with a long history and cultural tradition in the northeast of China. Korean ethnic group has made important contributions to Chinese culture and world culture in aspects of modern culture, writing, literature, folk literature, poetry, music, and dance. As one of the 56 ethnic groups in China, Korean ethnic group has a population of about 2.5 million people and ranks 14th among the 55 ethnic groups other than the Han ethnic group. In the mid-to-late 19th century, a large scale of Koreans relocated to the northeast of China from Korean peninsula due to the brutal oppression and famine applied by the feudal ruling class. In December 1948, Korean ethnic group became a legal minority in China. After settling down in this area, their life has changed with each passing day through hard work. Since the middle of the 20th century, studies on Korean ethnic group has attracted much attention in the fields of history, sociology, and ethnology. Those studies expounded the reason and ways of Korean migration to China in the migration process and the socio-economic life and national movement and the like issues after the migration. However, after the Koreans settled, no one pay attention to their adaptation to the new environment and related cultural changes. In order to survive in the new environment, Korean people are continuously improving their ability to adapt to the production and life here. With the exchange and integration with the cultures of other local ethnic groups, the inherent Korean culture is gradually localized, forming the current Korean culture. This paper aims to study the dissemination and adaptation of Korean culture in the cultural changes from the perspective of cultural migration.
