    We ,Japanse, learn ancient Chinese literatures(漢文) as a subject in high school, which may be inevitable and reasonable for Kanji(漢字) users. And we all know what the character 漢 means. We can hardly be ignorant of Chinese influences at all.
    Btw, if you visit Tokyo or the other major cities, you may notice that Chinese restaurants are everywhere. You can find one near around (almost) EVERY SINGLE train station.

    Japan is a nation that is good at capturing opportunities and judging the situation. When China was strong, it learned all the excellent civilizations and techniques of the Han people. When the Han people declined at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they immediately focused their attention on the Western countries that had risen through maritime civilization and learned them. In addition, there is a gambler mentality. The launch of a war against the Qing Dynasty, Russia and the United States is a manifestation of gambling national luck.There is no denying that the Japanese are the best students in the world

      It is impossible for ancient Chinese to teach non-Han people (mainly in East Asia) about any Chinese technology and Chinese culture. Because it is Chinese secrets and very complex technology (including Chinese language. Chinese characters. And architectural design .... ).
      Because the ancient Chinese believed that there were only Han and non -Han people (barbarians). In ancient East Asia, there was only one emperor. That is the Chinese emperor. Dragon is the symbol of power of the Chinese emperor. The Chinese (Han) are the descendants of the dragon. Then, then, then
      In ancient times, there were no television and networks and TH-cam to understand ancient Chinese technology and culture through plagiarism. Only places where ancient Chinese arrived and established Chinese local regimes (where the occupation and became Chinese territory) appeared Chinese culture in this place :
      Chinese Dragon. Chinese Clothing Style (Han Nation). Chinese mythology (content modification> Japanese mythology). Chinese architectural design (Han and Tang dynasty style-black roof). Chinese characters (people who will not fluent Chinese official language. Chinese characters cannot be used in use. ) Chinese coin circulation. Chinese religion (Taoism. Chinese -style Buddhism). Confucian culture (governance method and spirit). Chinese etiquette (kneeling). Chinese art (painting, music. Tea art ...). Ancient Chinese Books (History. Novel. Poetry ....)
      * Ancient Chinese = Han ethnic 漢族人
      During the Qin Dynasty in China. The ancient Chinese occupied the place in Japan 東瀛.
      During the Tang Dynasty in China . These Chinese people built a large number of traditional Chinese buildings in Japan (today known as traditional Japanese architecture).
      At that time, the Japanese ancestors (speaking Japanese language) were still primitive. The clothes were mainly animal skin and leaves.
      They regard the Chinese as God (the prototype of the Japanese God is ancient Chinese).
      For example: 卑彌呼 Himiko. She is the adoptive daughter of the Chinese emperor. She is a Chinese female official position. On behalf of the Chinese emperor, she is responsible for governing Japan. All funds are supported by the Chinese royal family. She knows Chinese Taoist ghosts and magic spells and divination. She is fluent in Chinese language (official language and Han dialect) and Chinese characters......
      In Japan's first Yin Yang division, ninja and monks are also ancient Chinese. The names of "ancient Japan東瀛" and "ancient Korea 朝鮮" in history were named after the Chinese emperor.

      During the Qin Dynasty (秦朝), when the Chinese people arrived in Japan by ship (Fleeing and expanding the territory due to the Chinese war). The local indigenous people regarded the Chinese as God. The image of the Japanese gods looked like ancient Chinese and Chinese clothes.You can see that Japanese myths are adapted from Chinese mythology.
      (The Japanese were still indigenous during this period. And there was no characters.
      )
      These Chinese in ancient Japan later returned to China (the Tang Dynasty). They asked the Chinese Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to send a large number of Chinese scholars and Chinese technicians (including architects, doctors, monks, artist ,Chinese martial arts Master ...). Let them take a big ship to Japan together. Establish a Chinese local regime in Japan. It becomes a part of a Chinese territory. Like other Chinese cities. In ancient Japan, it was fixed to the Chinese emperor to send goods to the Chinese emperor each year (it did not stop until the Qing Dynasty清朝 in China).
      These tong Chinese have been wearing Chinese clothing in Japan (But Japan lacks resources. The cloth material is rough). They build a Chinese Tang -style building in Japan. Chinese coins appear in Japan. Chinese etiquette (including kneeling and chopsticks, etc.). Use China's governance system and religious culture (Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism to Japan).
      Since the beginning, the official language of Japan is Chinese language and Chinese characters (only the Chinese royal family and nobles use and learn). Japanese history uses Chinese characters to record (classical Chinese). It mainly records the life of Chinese officials and nobles in Japan.
      And civilians are local indigenous Japanese. They speak Japanese language. There is no characters.
      Ancient Korean Peninsula and northern Vietnam. It is closer to China. China is more direct about its governance. The situation is similar to Japan.
      In Japan, there are many large tombs (and unearthed cultural relics) of ancient Chinese. These tombs are also built by traditional Chinese methods. But the Japanese have denied the fact that ancient Chinese originally established in Japan.
      This is because Japan has become an independent country in modern times. The history of more great Japanese nations needs to be built. This is the same as Korea and Vietnam.

    Good video. One thing I would supplement is that Japan went into isolation due to Portuguese missionaries coming in with merchants and tried to change Japan through culture and religion. The Tokugawa bakufu didn’t appreciate losing their ruling power to this influence and shut their ports to western countries.
    Japanese military technology suffered as a result. They were still using muskets when the Americans showed up with automatic weapons as you see in the Last Samurai. This is pretty much how they ended up cow-towing to the Americans in the 19th century.

      Many foreigners translated the Western literatures into Chinese. But China had never utilized those effectively. Those knowledges stayed in a state like… entertainment of intellectuals who were extreme minority.
      But Japan was different. With the background of much higher literacy rate, Japan imported such knowledge from China and translate many more Western literatures uniquely, and utilized those knowledges effectively and modernized its society quickly.
      As the result, China couldn’t modernize its society by itself and reimported such Western knowledge from Japan.

Modern day Hanbok is heavily influenced by Ming dynasty clothing, just do a comparison side by side, I'm not an expert on it so I just made my observations, but I know for sure about the Daopao 道袍 which in Korean is Dopo 도포 which has the same Hanja 道袍. The Chinese (Ming dynasty) Daopao and the Dopo are very very similar but they have differences. The Dopo is a bit more shorter than the Daopao, it has square sleeves, the collar neck is much more narrow. I personally think that the Korean dopo is much better than the Daopao and more practical as it is shorter and the collar neck is not massively big.

    During the Tang dynasty, Japan considered China really cool. They tried to copy it. In fact, nobles and royalty generally viewed their language as a dialect of Chinese, ignoring the fact that they had to do a mental translation every time they spoke "vernacular" (common Japanese) or write things down (since court Japanese was obviously not Chinese and at this time their writing system was taken from China but not yet modified to suit their own language better). The fact that they needed to do a mental translation should have tipped them off really.

      @@NeostormXLMAX I'm not sure Japan winning WW2 would be a golden age considering their treatment of the Koreans was pretty horrible and that for China Emperor Puyi seemed more of a puppet than an ally of Japan. Also after commodore Perry, they started shedding off aspects of their culture both copied from Tang China and parts that were native to the island in an attempt to mimic the west (and what self respecting western power doesn't just grab land that has what they want that's missing at home?). But while I don't think Imperial Japan, Tang China or Qing China were perfect cultures, I do agree that overthrow of the Qing was not an improvement and China had pretty much been a soulless ghoul since 1911 with the creation of the Republic of China and by the time the ROC was a reasonable working state, it was a rump state not controlling mainland China.

      Oh there definitely were. Japan is actually one of the most popular places for Korean nobility and even at times royalty to escape to whenever they were expelled due to either crimes, political upheaval, and even more importantly destruction of a country.
      At the end of the Three kingdoms of Korea (Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla), both Goguryeo refugees and Baekje refugees made it to Japan. The Japanese emperor at the time allowed them to form a Japanese styled clans. Even after that period, Goryeo and Joseon dynasties still did the same.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_clan
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clans (Look at Immigrant Clans)
      For Gogureo, the Koma Clan is probably the most famous of the immigrant clans in regards to Koreans in Japan to the point of having their own land which at the time was near the northern border of Yamato Japan nearby Tokyo (At the time, Yamato Japan didnt have the northern 1/3 of Honshu). To this day, the Koma clan is still alive and they have a shrine dedicated to them.
      To the main point, the former Korean nobility in Japan were generously given some titles and in return they offered princesses to the Emperor. Hence Akihito's comment about "his ties with Korea" which when you really think about it..............isn't exactly a 'tie with Korea' as they were technically expelled from Korea. Nevertheless, I guess they're still ethnically 'Korean'. As for the articles regarding the 'princesses' being offered to Japan, I can't find them/forgotten where i found them.

    Brothers, Japan had its own unique culture during the Jomon period thousands of years before the introduction of Chinese and Korean culture.
    Culture from China entered there via Korea, and of course it had a big influence, but it was no different from America coming to Japan on the Black Ships and Japan becoming Westernized with the Meiji Restoration.
    In other words, Japan only imported culture that could be used as Japan, and at first it was from nearby China.
    Japan was always Japan before it was influenced by China.

    I always thought it was odd that Chinese adaptations of the Three Kingdoms period tend to greatly understate the accomplishments of Eastern Wu, so even if the Japan/Wu relationship is not as strong as the theories suggested, it's good that at least Japanese adaptations are willing to give the Southlanders of Wu their due. They developed southern China from basically frontier territory and made it strong enough to serve as a cultural, economic, and military stronghold that allowed China to survive centuries of control from foreigners.

    Even though China was ruled by many different ethnic groups in the past, those ethnic groups accepted Chinese characters and Chinese culture to create a new China. And Other cultures were considered inferior to China and there was no need to learn from them.
    However, as for the West in the late 19th century, for the first time they learned that they were militarily inferior and needed to compete with them. A crisis arose as a nation.
    At that time, they tried to get out of the pinch through Japan. What Japan taught was Chinese characters and concepts after interpreting Western culture in the Japanese way, so I don't think it was much, but I think it was significant for China because it helped them in a crisis they had been facing for thousands of years.

    • @barbiebarbie1813

      It is impossible for ancient Chinese to teach non-Han people (mainly in East Asia) about any Chinese technology and Chinese culture. Because it is Chinese secrets and very complex technology (including Chinese language. Chinese characters. And architectural design .... ).
      Because the ancient Chinese believed that there were only Han and non -Han people (barbarians). In ancient East Asia, there was only one emperor. That is the Chinese emperor. Dragon is the symbol of power of the Chinese emperor. The Chinese (Han) are the descendants of the dragon.
      In ancient times, there were no television and networks and TH-cam to understand ancient Chinese technology and culture through plagiarism. Only places where ancient Chinese arrived and established Chinese local regimes (where the occupation and became Chinese territory) appeared Chinese culture in this place :
      Chinese Dragon. Chinese Clothing Style (Han Nation). Chinese mythology (content modification> Japanese mythology). Chinese architectural design (Han and Tang dynasty style-black roof). Chinese characters (people who will not fluent Chinese official language. Chinese characters cannot be used in use. ) Chinese coin circulation. Chinese religion (Taoism. Chinese -style Buddhism). Confucian culture (governance method and spirit). Chinese etiquette (kneeling). Chinese art (painting, music. Tea art ...). Ancient Chinese Books (History. Novel. Poetry ....)
      Because of the early Japanese fabrication of fake history. Delete the ancient Chinese in the history of Japan. Modify it to the history of the Japanese (especially before the Edo period). So now Koreans and Vietnamese people also create fake history here.
