It's strange that people consider Korea's Taegeuk to be the same as China's Taiji.
The concept of Taegeuk in Korea did not come from Chinese religious influence; it has existed since the Three Kingdoms period during the Buddhist era.
The term "太極" used is just a borrowed name, while the concept and design have been passed down in Korea for a long time.
But seriously, what the hell is this "Han Chinese" anyway? It's a made up label forced on everyone after the Xinhai Revolution. Do you really think the folks living in Beijing back then felt they belonged to the same "Han" group as ethnic on the remote slopes of Sichuan? and how the hell do they call all those people "Hakka, Cantonese, Hokkien, Chaoshan, Hainanese" the same "Han chinese"? Even the languages spoken up north and down south are drastically different, not just dialects level, but basically entirely different languages.
Yes, "Han" is just a convenient fantasy to cover up massive ethnic and cultural splits that never really went away, Also that's exactly why China can never create a common symbol that truly represents them. The term "Han" itself is a modern invention designed to suppress divisions. How could such a fractured collection of peoples ever have a genuine unifying symbol?
