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.
We are so accustomed to Chinese culture. I hope every Chinese ppl knows that.
Lots of Chinese people travel to and study in Japan. It’s easier for Chinese to get around in Japan than Korea because Kanji is widely used.
nice! I go to大阪 few days later. just looking at buildings and feel 大阪人. wish to get little feeling from Tang dynasty maybe. I hate Song dynasty, and Japan stop learning from Song. It's a correct policy decision.
There are also many Chinese pretending to be Japanese in You tube. :))

@Yayoi Kisaragi all i know its that interlocking mecanisms of wooden structure is originated in China. Most of the architectural style of Japan came from Tang dynasty which use the same building principles. Nara streets has the same overlay as Chang an. We have interesting stuffs that are unique such as bonsai (penjing), lamian (ramen) etc... no where else to be found. These are unique cultural stuffs developped here. Before the japanese envoy to chang an japan used to have a more austrinonesian architecture
@Yayoi Kisaragi Also rice cultivation is developped independently from the rest of the world in the yellow river delta and the first archi hieroglypical language that is known today as hanzi (kanji)
@Yayoi Kisaragi We borrowed musical instruments from the persian and our religious clothing took inspiration from indian and persians clothings
Yayoi Kisaragi We don't need to talk anymore. You can stick to what you think, and I won't try to convince you. You don't know what civilization is, just like the West is the birthplace of industrial civilization, they are also influenced by the rest of the world, because of globalization, so as what you say， the West is not the birthplace of industrial civilization, right？
As a Chinese person, (I think for Koreans, Japanese and Vietnamese people too) it’s extremely easy for us to tell apart our cultures.

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
I've independently reached the same conclusion. Japan is an excellent student of the strong, but it is merciless to those it percieves as weak. Not necessarily the best kind of neighbour to have, but it is what it is.
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.
@@barbiebarbie1813 At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were exchanges with ancient Japan. Another name for kimono is Wufu (clothing of Wu people during the Three Kingdoms period). The Korean Peninsula was earlier, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were exchanges with the Korean Peninsula.
@@jackzhou4813 Japanese traditional clothing Kimono is the clothes of ancient Chinese (Hanfu - Qin and Han Dynasty) . It is impossible for the ancient Japanese to wear this kind of clothes (before the Edo period).
The first video shows : Ancient Chinese people more than 2000 years ago. Chinese clothing they wore after arriving in Japan.
During the Qin Dynasty in China. The ancient Chinese occupied the place in Japan 東瀛.

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.
Moral of the story is: Soft power is the most powerful
Soft power is built on the base of hard power.
Correction:Soft power is the most enduring
The foundation of soft power is hard power. Where can soft power come from without hard power? First of all, you have to have developed industrial, economic, and military to be able to export soft power.Soft power is the output of culture and living habits.
and soft power can only be accumulated little by little over TIME (they have 5000 years of history)
So you disagree soft power is the most powerful?@@hx5525

A very decent presentation - I like the timeline across the top of the page as you go through all the different eras and ages, and the clarity of Japan studying Chinese writing/central gov't, then Chinese studying in Japan as it dealt with the West a bit better than China had done earlier. And it's difficult to sort out China-Korea-Japan//Japan-Korea-China (and Taiwan and Vietnam)... but if people can go over it often enough, it can become as easy as sorting out Greek-Roman-Celtic-Germanic etc. in Europe..

Tong dynasty was the most influential in Asia because it opened up to the world and relaxed many policies. It was also a huge economic powerhouse. The cultural exchanges happened most during the Tong Dynasty which is descendent to cantonese and all Chinatown in the world.
And this openess led to Tang's fall itself and the most civilized Chinese people forced into slavery, sex slavery and even eaten as food, which led to a healthy distrust of the foreigners in future Chinese dynasties that lingers even till today.

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.
And now Japan _has_ to kowtow to the US because...reasons 😅

Um yea, it was mainly due to the massive slave trade the Portuguese Jesuits were doing in Kyushu that led them to be banned from Japan. Lets not sugarcoat history just by saying “tried to change Japan through culture and religion”

Ok there was the extremely heated debate on internet about the origins of the Hanbok, it was indeed influenced by Chinese culture, especially modern day Hanbok (but developed by its own, I will tell more later on that). 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.
@@Tom19142 yes that is true the dopo does look cooler than the daopao ngl
@@Tom19142 The some clothing of the Ming Dynasty was influenced by Goryeo and Joseon. This exists in Chinese records at the time. At first, it was strange, so it was described as an umbrella in China. But just that the elite uniforms are from China.

I like how tang china explored many civilizations, yet did not colonised it like the British, instead opted for trade and cultural exchanges.
frankly speaking, I think our ancestors were just arrogant, it's too cold to invade north, to the west it's all desert and the himalaya, to the south its fucking rainforest with poisonous air and snakes and bugs, then to the east there is nothing but ocean, we Chinese thought we are the middle kingdom, we have the the best of everything already, we didnt even want to trade unless you pay tribute to us
They tried that, but in a different way. Tang dynasty had all southern Siberia and Mongolia, Boarders Persia in the west. After they lost the war with khilafah/Tibet United Army they just think it’s to expensive to hold this massive land and they retrieved.
@@limcheating1 Yes China was inwardly focused, but if it were any Anglo Saxon culture in China's position throughout several points in history, China could've done a LOT of damage to the world, destroyed many cultures, languages, and subjugated countless lives.

Amazing video
Best explanation ever!!! Always hoped that someone could explain in English the messy history between China and Japan.
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.
Dang, i just remember that Kyoto is built in mind as chang an copy.
The kanbun i guess..
Yeah Japan is basicly tang China. While korea is song China.
One of the reasons why I like Japan so much. They are the true successor to the chinese golden age. Modern china for the past 200 years is a soulless ghoul. If Japan won ww2 it would have been the better in the long run. A few nationalist Chinese party leaders even agreed. Since They were the only ones trying to unite Asia.
@@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.

In the Tang dynasty, Chinese called Japanese "dwarfs" because they were so short compared to Han Chinese. So the origin of Japanese could be people from the South of China as the Southerners are shorter than Northerners. Further more, they used to have tradition of coloring the teeth black, the custom of Yue people who lived in the South of the Yangtze River.
The Japanese are genetically part Pacific Islander (Jomon, Ainu), part proto-Korean (Yayoi), part southeast Asian (likely prehistoric coastal/islander migratory stock).
Even before that, the Chinese did not see nations that paid homage to them as equals.
Go read more history before posting nonsense and stop claiming a false identity. Yue people do not origin from Yellow River. They are part of the Vietnamese ethnic. None of the text did mention the yellow river people fled to Guangzhou; except to Quanzhou, follow by Zhangzhou. If u want to bring Chaozhou into the picture, u must be dreaming hard because Chaozhou in ancient time is part of Zhangzhou. Yawn.

If u manage to convince 70% of the world, i will signed off in the theories u publish. If u cannot, just keep dreaming. Maybe this will make you more wholesome by calling yourself Han ethnic -> Descendent of Baiyue (o.o). Lots of prof has conducted DNA testing on the guangzhou people. Sad to say, they contain only zero to 0.01% related to the central plains people. With the exception of certain part of chaozhou, DNA testing shown 40% - 60% related to central plain people. Don't understand why some people enjoy calling someone ancestors as their own. Yawn.
@@ct8168 They were taught that way.
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.
The main reason was that the three kingsom period ended when the continuation of the Han government in the form of Wei took out the other two powers, so obviously as losers of the conflict they would get very little mention

Minan words got lot of similar sound with Japanese words, In my opinion both language got lots of words of origin from the Tang.
There are many ways of pronouncing Kanji, two among them are the Go-on (Wu-yin) and Kan-on (Han-Yin). Go-on was the older pronounciation because historically, they often went through the Wu region as they travel into China.

I like this description that oddly depicts the accuracy of the influence from different periods
Newest research by two different teams, 1 international & 1 Japanese, have concluded that Japanese genes were 75-80% related to the Han Chinese race and other turkic tribe originated from Northeast China.
So the yayoi people actually originated from China, where some migrated to Korea or some passed Korea to cross the sea to Japan.
Each are different.
No genetically it’s Japanese and Koreans that are almost indistinguishable. That’s why there’s a big issue within the Japanese and Korean communities about taking the 23 and me dna test because often it’ll say Korean or Japanese when they are not from that country, because of the overlapping dna. There is no overlap with China and Chinese dna is easily distinguishable and not even related. Mongolian/Korean/Japanese are related, and China/Vietnam are related. But not all together

OK I accept your long list of translation history in China. But the problem wasn’t there. The problem was the way of utilizing those knowledges in whole society.
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.
China to East Asia = Rome to Europe = Persia to Middle East = India to Southeast Asia (though since they were in the middle of the trade routes. China also have influences on Southeast Asia)
There is significant influence from Hokchia, a Chinese ethnic from Fujian in Japanese culture. In countries like Malaysia where 22% of population being Chinese, the Hokchia make majority of billionaire.

Yet Chinese language as a whole has spread far and wide, in south east Asia there are at least an ethnic group that speaks a certain dialect, example Hokkien one of the oldest dialects their writing system simplified is also being used in some Asian countries, their holidays are still celebrated in most of Asia like lunar/Chinese new year, we don't see a Korean or Japanese holiday being celebrated in most countries, and Japanese as a culture is pretty isolated in their nation which is why it's admired we don't see that a lot in any other, we assume what happens in Anime or Kpop as accurate to their daily life. Also Greece compared to China is no longer a super power, normally super powers and empires in the past would be a shell of it's former self now, but unlike China which was being bullied in the past with their weak Qing dynasty, has rebuilt itself.
But I won't deny Anime and Kpop had an impact on Japan and Korea spreading their culture, but saying as if China did jack shit but copy seems pretty prejudice.

@Akin Khoo Yes but taking multiple wives was common.
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. So someone can add on to it if they find it.
