Sinification of Korea, Japan and Vietnam
Vietnam -Steph, Angelina ,Destinee,Landon
P The politics of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam are defined by a single-party socialist republic framework, where the President of Vietnam is
the head of state and the Prime Minister of Vietnam is the head of government, in a one-party system led by the Communist Party of Vietnam.
E Vietnam's socialist-oriented market economy is a developing planned economy and market economy
R Long-established religions in Vietnam include the Vietnamese folk religion, which has been historically structured by the doctrines of
Confucianism and Taoism from China, as well as a strong tradition of Buddhism
S
Normally the social class system in other nations was dependent on the basis of money, power, authority, inheritance and sometimes color
with which one is born too. But the scenario was entirely different when it came to the Vietnamese social hierarchy.

Vietnamese art and ceramics during this period of independence (approximately 10th to 15th centuries) flourished. The
ceramics from this period were thought to have been largely influenced by both ancient native styles and the Tang and later Song
Dynasty's art, including applying the "three colors" concept to its ceramics. Chinese-influenced philosophies adopted by the
Vietnamese such as Confucianism, Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism all had a lasting impression on Vietnamese art.

Sinification Of Vietnam
*Vietnamese art and ceramics during this period of independence (approximately 10th to 15th centuries) flourished.
The ceramics from this period were thought to have been largely influenced by both ancient native styles and the Tang
and later Song Dynasty art, including applying the "three colors" concept to its ceramics. Chinese-influenced
philosophies adopted by the Vietnamese such as Confucianism, Mahayana Buddhism and Taoism all had a lasting
impression on Vietnamese art.
* Vietnamese folk religion, which has been historically structured by the doctrines of Confucianism and Taoism from
China, as well as a strong tradition of Buddhism
*Since the 2nd century B.C.E. Viet Nam had been dominated by different Chinese feudal dynasties and yet even after
the thousands of years the Vietnamese were still quite drawn to the bureaucratic style of government that the Chinese
had in place.
*The Confucian court examination system in Vietnam (622-1913) was a system for entry into the civil service modeled
after the Imperial examination in China. Vietnamese culture adopted the social structure of china. Scholars were seen
as the highest social class and men could only raise their social rank by obtaining a higher education.
* Chinese influence entered vietnam by Buddhist missionaries and by force.
* The chinese irrigation and technology drastically increased agriculture in Vietnam, this increased Vietnamese
population and help regulate their economy.
* The Vietnamese used Chinese-style military organization to defeat the Chams and Khmers in the Red River Valley.
*The Vietnamese culture adopted the irrigation techniques, Chinese military organization,and ancestor worship from the
Chinese

P The politics takes place in the framework of a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President is the head of state, and of a multi-party system.
Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive
and the legislature and comprises a Supreme Court, appellate courts and a Constitutional Court.
E The economy of South Korea is the fourth largest economy in Asia and the 11th largest in the world. Over the past five years, South Korea’s economy has charted steady,
uninterrupted progress in economic freedom. North Korea’s economy is a centrally planned system. Although there has been some change since 2015, Pyongyang’s basic
adherence to a rigid centrally planned economy continues, as does its reliance on fundamentally non-pecuniary (not readily quantified or valued in money) incentives
R Religion in South Korea has been characterised by a rise of Christianity and a revival of Buddhism. Korean shamanism has survived, after being suppressed for decades.
Almost half (46.5%) of South Koreans have no religion; among those that follow a formal religion, there is a dominance of Buddhism, Protestantism, and Roman Catholicism.
There are no known official statistics of religions in North Korea. North Korea is an atheist state where public religion is discouraged. Traditionally North Korea practiced
Buddhism and Confucianism, and in the 18th century, Christianity started to show.
S The social values of contemporary South Korea reflect the synthesis and development of diverse influences, both indigenous and foreign.
I The Koreans were very skilled in astronomy and printing. Most Koreans were literate and it was shameful not to know how to read. Korean astronomers were skilled in
predicting events and creating lunar calendars.
A Korean arts include traditions in calligraphy, music, painting and pottery, often marked by the use of natural forms, surface decoration and bold colors or sounds. Two
distinct musical cultures exist in Korea today: traditional music (Gugak) and Western music (yangak).
N Korea is located on the Korean peninsula in Northeast China. To the Northwest, the Amnok river (Yalu River) separates Korea from China to the northeast, the Duman
River separates Korea from China and Russia The yellow sea is to the west, the east China sea and Korea Strait is to the South, and the east sea is to the east. Notable islands
include Jeju island, Ulleung island, and Liancourt Rocks.
Sinification of Korea
Korea’s oldest known kingdom was conquered by emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty in about 100 B.C.E.
beginning the first wave of Signification. Although the conquest would be short lived, Chinese influence
remained. Buddhism became the cultural bridge linking China to Korea, especially as Korean leaders,
anticipating Empress Wu, gave state sponsorship to Buddhism. Chinese writing was introduced, despite the
difficulties in adapting Chinese characters to the spoken Korean language. One Korean emperor established
universities to teach the Confucian classics to Korean youth. Additionally, the Koreans tried to emulate the
Chinese style of bureaucracy but they failed to overcome the power of the aristocracy; the land owning nobles
were able to thwart the implementation of a bureaucracy they knew would minimize their own power and
influence.
Impressed by the organization and economic success of Tang China, Korean leaders sought to emulate Chinese
culture in their homeland. Indeed, during this tributary relationship with China an open flow of culture was
opened from China to Korea and Signification in Korea would reach its peak. Korean scholars traveled to
China to consult with Confucian scholars; they returned with the latest Chinese books and learning. Chinese
innovations, fashions, styles and etiquette made their way into Korea. The elite classes of Koreans became
schooled in Confucianism. In fact, besides Buddhism—which became popular among the Korean masses—
cultural Signification occurred primarily among the aristocratic classes. Despite these influences, however, the
Koreans never established a functioning bureaucracy and, consequently, aristocratic families retained their
hold over politics and society. Thus the Koreans were never able to curb, like the Chinese, the power and
influence of the nobles over the government
Korea Economical Ties
The United States and the Republic of Korea share a long history of friendship and cooperation based on
common values and interests. The two countries work together to combat regional and global threats and
to strengthen their economies. People-to-people ties between the United States and the ROK have never
been stronger. The ROK, on a per capita basis, sends the highest number of students to the United States to
study of any industrialized country.
The United States have provided food and other resources to North Korea during times of natural disasters
and famine. As the economy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea becomes increasingly isolated, it
depends more and more on the People’s Republic of China for survival and development. The PRC is North
Korea’s closest ally; largest provider of food, fuel, and industrial machinery.
Japan- Chance, Matt, Elizabeth, and Yani
P - Japanese feudalism relied more heavily on group and individual loyalties, which were not confirmed by contractual
agreements. Big two were the Minamoto and Fujiwara. Shoguns were considered the highest of the warrior class and were
sometimes even more powerful than an emperor. Samurai were the warriors of feudal Japan who followed a strict code of
morals know as bushido. Samurai helmets were known as Kabuto and rank was signified by the metal strip on the their
helmets.
E - New tools, the greater use of draft animals, and new crops - especially soybean - contributed to the well-being of the
peasantry in the better-run domains. Peasants were also encouraged to produce items such as silk, hemp, paper, dyes, and
vegetable oils, which were highly marketable and thus potential sources of household income.
R - They had begun to mesh the worship of Buddhist deities with that of the ancient kami, or nature spirits of Japan. (Taika
reforms) Kami is short for Kamisama which means god in Japanese. Zen Buddhism became important and a source of peace in
the time of battle and turmoil. The Kami were worshipped at various shrines.
S - The status of women in the emerging commercial classes contrasted sharply with that of women in the warrior elites. The
status of women slowly began to diminish through time.
I - Powerful longbows, spears, straight swords(Ninjato), and curved steel swords (Katana). Samurai armor, made of stingray
skin and decorated with patterns.
A - Writing verse was perhaps the most valued art at the court. Relaxed paintings in monochrome color. Pottery became
common and artisic buildings such as the Phoenix Pavilion became common.
N - Heian (Kyoto), Nara, Kamakura, Honshu, Kanto Plain, Shikoku, Kyushu, Edo, and Tokyo. Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu
were islands. The Kanto Plain is an area around present day Tokyo.
Sinification of Japan
The Japanese aristocracy struggled to master Confucian ways, worshipped in
Chinese-style temples, and admired Buddhist art that was Chinese in subject
matter and technique.
Chinese aesthetic preference and techniques were strong in many paintings and
other fine arts.
Zen monasteries provided key points of renewed diplomatic and trade contacts with
China, which in turn led to a revival of Chinese influence in Japan, at least at the
cultural level.
Zen Buddhism played a critical role in securing the place of the arts in the era of strife
and destruction.
Family order was much the same as China and so were women’s rights. Women were
expected to take care of the home and were also expected to move into the
husband’s house upon marriage.
