This study aims to arouse the people clearly to the differences of Danoje Festival in Korea from Danoje Festival in China for which it was designated as a world heritage. This study investigates the overview of the contents of Danoje Festival in Korea and China, and the differences of Danoje Festival in Korea from that in China can be summarized as follows:
First, there is a difference in the origin/purpose of Danoje Festival between Korea and China. Danoje Festival in Korea is a kind of harvest ceremony celebrating the creation of life and praying for safety by the Yin-Yang harmony through sacred marriage of Cheonbusin (Heavenly father god) with Jimosin (Earth mother goddess) (or Sumosin (Water Mother Goddess)) in the myths of Dangun, Jumong, Park Hyeokgeose and Kim Su-ro. Yongseon (Dragon ship) game of Danoje Festival in China is a prayer for the safety of Qu Yuan’s corpse or a Yongmuje event for calming the appearance Sea god (God of water) by the battle under the water. Second, there are differences in the process of the development of Danoje Festival between Korea and China. In Danoje Festival in Korea, primarily, Summer Solstice Festival or May Festival was combined with secondary god of nature and thirdly, it was replaced by human gods, Gongeophyeong (General Han and His Sister, State Master Beomil and Kim Yu-Sin). In Danoje Festival in China, first, the summer solstice system was combined with the sea god festival, and second, the sea god was replaced by a human god in a kind of revengeful spirit (Qu Yuan). Third, there are differences in the process of the succession of Danoje Festival between Korea and China. Danoje Festival in Korea focuses on the rites, so entertaining group play Hwaetbul Nori (Torch play), Seokjeon (Mock fight with stone missiles) or horse race were included as part of Danoje Festival. Danoje Festival in China focuses on the games/plays instead of the rites, so ritualistic elements are diminished. In other words, Korea focuses on the rites while China focuses on games.
Although Danoje Festival in Korea and China was developed in similar religious activities because of the regional background of high temperature and humidity and the industrial background of agriculture, it was found that Danoje Festival in Korea had different cultural styles with that in China, in terms of the origin/purpose and the processes of development and succession. The succession and development are most important parts of cultural heritages. In this sense, it is judged that it would be necessary to have a broad mind of understanding and respecting the country’s culture, rather than establishing the rights and wrongs based on the similarity of name or origin.

本论文的研究目的是,通过对韩中两国端午文化进行对比，找出两者的差异，分析二者的不 同，旨在此基础上可以消除部分中国人对韩国将端午文化申请加世界非物质文化遗产的误解，并进 一步推动两国关系发展。
本文在承认韩中两国端午文化诞生于相似的地理环境和农耕文明背景的基础上，分别从两者 的起源传说、发展过程以及文化继承三个方面阐述了两者之间存在的巨大差异。以此来证明，韩国 所申请加入世界非物质文化遗产的端午文化是与中国的传统端午文化完全不同的。
韩中两国地缘毗邻，有着相似的地理环境和农耕文化，以及两国长期的相互交流，必然会使 得两国的文化相似。但是，两者因为有着的经济基础、不同的政治制度以及不同的社会生活又必然 使得两国文化不会完全趋同。即使两国存在部分文化具有相似的产生背景，相同的文化名称，但这 并不能成为两国矛盾的根源。对于彼此文化异同的正确态度应该是，尊重差异，理解不同，相互借 鉴，求同存异。只有这样，才能实现文化自身的发展，进而维护两国的和平相处。
