People from countries in this sphere are very smart at study, very quick learning but in different ways

[@KangSeoMin]

Some people in the comment confused why Vietnam is count as a Sinosphere country but other countries which has genetically East Asian and some has Chinese culture but are not. These are the 3 main reasons make a country to be in the East Asian cultural sphere, this explain why Vietnam is a Sino-culture country: 1. Influenced by Chinese culture (which have never been on Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Northeast India, Mongolia and the Turk countries although they are the East Asian genetically). 2. Countries with the most population isn’t Chinese people. This is really true because you can’t call a country with almost of the population is Chinese (except China) as a “Sino country” because the culture directly is Chinese culture itself then it doesn’t count as the “influence” but migration. Therefore Taiwan and Singapore simply doesn’t count because of that reason. Also Indigenous Taiwanese are genetically and culturally from Austronesian. Singaporean also influenced by the Hinduism, Islam culture because the population includes many Indian and Malaysian. 3. The last one and the most important thing is it must has used Chinese culture to create its own uniqueness culture. That clearly appear in Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese culture. Although they’re influenced by China, they still have their own amount of unusually diverse features developed from the Chinese culture that make a lot of differences from its origin. You can clearly tell which is it between Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese culture clearly. One more time I have to mention that although Bhutanese are East Asian genetically and its native culture is close to the Chinese culture but it has never been influenced by Chinese culture because all of the similarities started from the cultural coincidence between peoples of the same origin (Sino-Tibetan was a language group including Bhutanese). Also Singaporean doesn’t have their own culture since it was a young nation influenced by several of different cultures from the east to the west. Vietnamese is a part of Sinosphere because French only took 100 years to dominate Vietnam but Chinese took 1000 years. And even thousands of traditional Vietnamese architecture - building such as the royal palace: The yellow citadel of Thanglong (Hanoi city), the purple forbidden city of Hue (Hue city) ; temples from religious architecture: Tam Chuc pagoda (Ha Nam province), Bai Dinh (Ninh Binh province) ; and traditional house architecture: Duong Lam houses (Hanoi city), Ruong houses (Hue city), Dai Khoa houses, cottages and Lac Viet tribe’s stilt houses. Our clothing is Vietphuc including: Ao Tu Than, Ao Ngu Than, Ao Giao Linh, Ao Vien Linh, etc. Our major religion is Vietnamese folk religion, it was Vietnamese natural gods like Japanese Shintoism. We’re also influenced by Chinese northern Buddhism, Taoism and mostly Confucianism. Doesn’t like other South East Asian country, we’re mostly non-religion population. So how does it make sense if Vietnamese wasn’t influenced by Chinese culture?

[@SuperValue350]

What about places such as Bhutan and Singapore? Singapore has a Confucianism-dominated society, has Buddhism as its largest religion, Mandarin Chinese is an official language, etc. Bhutan also has heavy East Asian culture, their flag is a Chinese dragon, and Buddhism is also their largest religion.

[@noobatthetower8747]

Does Buddhism count as sinosphere or indosphere?

[@TheDragonHistorian]

I touch on this in the Google Doc linked in the pinned comment, but scholarly consensus does not include Singapore or Bhutan in the sphere for various reasons. Those societies have a lot of other foundational influences (Indian, Malay, British, Tibetan, etc). Also, Bhutan follows Vajrayana Buddhism, whereas countries in the East Asian cultural sphere practice Mahayana Buddhism.

[@SuperValue350]

​@@TheDragonHistorian I mean the same arguments could also be said about Vietnam's inclusion. Vietnam was colonized by France, currently uses a Latin script to write Vietnamese, and its current law/legal system is modeled by both French civil law and Soviet communist law. Geopolitically, Vietnam is much more intertwined with the nations of Southeast Asia (e.g. ASEAN) as compared to Northeast Asia as well. In the present era, Vietnam could very much be seen as part of the East Asian cultural sphere as Bhutan, Mongolia and Singapore is.

[@brettfafata3017]

For being so close to China, Taiwan was Sinicized surprisingly late in history. The indigenous people resisted outside influence for a long time.

[@SuperValue350]

Taiwan is pretty much a settler colonial state. Han Chinese only became a majority on the island during the Age of Colonization. For thousands of years, its natives were Austronesians.

[@brettfafata3017]

@@SuperValue350 The history of Taiwan is not so straightforward. For sure, it is not ancient Chinese land. To be fair, the Americas are also not ancient European land. There is always room to argue your side of a historical debate about who "owns" a given piece of land, and it is important to understand the Chinese perspective, too.

[@hoangkimviet8545]

Not quite. Northern China was unstable in history, thus Chinese did not have time to care about Taiwan. Even Southern China was Sinicized late. That is why only the Qing dynasty conquered Taiwan. They basically stabilized Northern China. In addition, China did not care much about navigation.

[@SCHANG-fp1xv]

Being part of the imperial dynasty, which is how Chinese empires usually portrayed themselves as, was considered a blessing, which could only be granted if the incoming neighboring civilization was considered obedient, and the Formosan people were 1) not within their scope of consideration and 2) not considered as such. (Qing and the former Ming had little interest in maritime expansion) The Qing conquered Taiwan mainly to avoid it becoming a base for rebellion forces(people who would want former Ming to be back), rather than to gain geopolitical advantages. There was therefore a huge debate in Peking back then on whether Taiwan should be part of imperial Qing. And despite the incorporation later, Taiwan has been subject to passive governance with poor administration and various social uprisings and fights between races. It is indeed a settler colonial state, especially from Chinese Han's perspective. Things only changed after the Sino-French war (1884-85) and the Mudan incident (1874) when Qing suddenly noted foreign aggression towards Taiwan. Although the Qing gave more attention to Taiwan through a series of modernization after these events (the first railroad and the first electric street light of China were built in Taiwan, ironically), Taiwan was ceded to Japan a decade later and Taiwan, hence, has hardly been the core interest of Qing throughout its ruling for more than 2 centuries.

[@bctvanw]

Talking about Qing. Don't forget Qing was founded by the Manchus. If you go check historical buildings built by Qing government. You can see Manchu and Chinese scripts side by side.

[@auburntiger6829]

Classical/Literary Chinese is still a mandatory subject in high school in China and Japan (called "kanbun" 漢文). Books in Literary Chinese continue to get published and some older treaties dating back to the Qing and ROC period that were written in the Classical Language remain in effect, so lawyers and IR professionals actually have to learn and use them to a certain degree.

Taoism is quite "hippie" accroding to today's standards. Basically, it is about "finding peace/becoming one with the wild nature and the environment surrounding you and discourage competitions, rules". It was a perfect lifestyle for poets, not regular folks who had to work and tried not to disappoint their rulers. Think of Elsa in Frozen ran away from her queen duty to be herself and find peace for her heart, or the "Hakunamatata" song, sort like that. It is a highly optimism ideology but not everyone can afford it. There are some Vietnamese poems which carry the spirit of Taoism which we learned in school but the Taoism tradition is not carried or passed down through our parents or family. Most of our old Vietnamese poets who lived during the feudal era if alive today might be extremely hippie and liberal actually. A feudal era Vietnamese poet once wrote a poem praised that "a good girl is the one who got knocked up" which is challenging the Confucianism code of girl should be a virgin until she is married.

Korean (White Clothes Ethnic)( Wear white clothes without pattern) - Civilians and slaves 1. Ruler and nobleman (Goguryeo , Baekje, Silla , Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..): Chinese local officials and nobles (royal members, monks, scholars, soldiers, architects, technicians, and their families ...). They are Chinese (Han) and their descendants born in the local area. They have always wore China in China costumes. They speak Chinese language (official and Han dialect) and Chinese characters. They are Chinese officials and represent the Chinese emperor's governance of the ancient Korean Peninsula (朝鮮). Local Chinese officials (Chaoxian king朝鮮王) and Chinese nobles in ancient Korea (Chaoxian 朝鮮-Chinese territory). They all Chinese clothes (hanfu), headdress (hat and crown), silk cloth (including embroidery), soldiers (such as: defensive clothing, horses). Weapons (including cannons), Chinese literature books (including Chinese history, Taoism Buddhism), Chinese special architectural materials (including palaces and design paintings). Food materials (Chinese food and Chinese royal food), wooden wheels used, large military ships, etc. are made from other cities in China). Among them, the Chinese royal's (Chaoxian king /officials and nobles) Hanfu comes from Chinese han clothes, opera clothing, and hat crown headwear. Therefore, the fabric on the clothes is high -level. There are a large number of Chinese official dragon patterns and various traditional Chinese patterns (including Chinese characters) on the clothes. 2. Civilians and slaves (Goryeo, Joseon=Chaoxian朝鮮 ..only appeared in history after the 13th century): Civilians and slaves are indigenous Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族). They speak Korean language. Long -term banned learning and use of Chinese characters 漢字(except a few descendants of mixed with Chinese people). Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. In ancient times, this was a beheading and destroyer. * Chinese patterns and Dragon's totem represents the symbol of the ancient Chinese and Chinese power. Korean people cannot use any pattern of Chinese imperial power. 龍dragon and 鳯phoenix. Only the Chinese royal family and senior officers can use it. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use the pattern of dragon and use Chinese characters. They will destroy the tribe and beheaded. Korean characters韓字 are text used by slaves. Ancient Korean can only use Korean characters (after the 15th century. Chinese officials - Chaoxian king and Chinese scholars who settled on the Chaoxian朝鮮 . Chinese officials use Chinese characters and Korean language to create "Korean characters韓字 ".) for slaves. These low Korean soldiers are used to protect the Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島(Chinese territory) to prevent Japanese pirates from invasion. In ancient Korea (Chaoxian朝鮮 ) does not have any technologies and processes such as metal , Bend the wood and dye embroidery patterns. Most Korean men became low -level soldiers in the Chinese army (under the command of Chinese officers). There is no armor. Korean only wear pure white clothes and korean women's clothing is exposed nipples (Hanbok - Features of traditional Korean clothes). All Korean women use their heads to move anything (similar to other primitive tribal culture). Korean houses are cottage built with grass (only Chinese can live in Chinese palaces and temples). Korean people earn food in the market concentrated on exchanging items. They do not have any coins and any metal things. South Korea's national culture and tools for use are very primitive. * Chinese patterns and dragon totems represent the ancient Chinese and symbols of Chinese power. Only the Chinese royal family and high-ranking military officers can use them. If the "White clothes Ethnic 白衣民族" (today's ancestors of Koreans) use dragon patterns and use Chinese characters ((In addition to the mulattoes and those working in the Chinese palace)), they will be exterminated. and beheaded. Writing history is the tradition and habit of the ancient Chinese. The history of the ancient Korean Peninsula was written by classical Chinese. This was read for the Chinese and must be approved for the Chinese emperor. This is a record and governance story of Chinese officials and nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula. --------------------------- Most Korean historical TV series are based on the theme of ancient Chinese managers ( ancient korean king) and Chinese nobles on the ancient Korean Peninsula. It is just that Koreans say that this is Korean ethnic history. Historically, the ancient Korean Peninsula was one of the areas where Chinese territory and governance were more than 2000 years ago (the ancestors of Koreans have always lived in a small place at the southernmost part of the peninsula). Before 1930, the official language and text of the ancient Korean Peninsula were also Chinese. After 1950, Korean language and Korean characters became official languages and characters. Korea has become only more than 70 years of independent countries.

And ancient Koreans (White Clothes Ethnic白衣民族real name in history) could not escape from the Korean Peninsula ( Chaoxian Peninsula 朝鮮半島 in real name in history).

Not to mention classical Chinese 文言文. The forms of Chinese characters漢字 in different periods of ancient times are different. The design of Chinese characters漢字 is so replicated and rarely simplified. It is to prevent non -Han people 非漢族from understanding Chinese characters漢字 and classical Chinese文言文. Because ancient Chinese officials rely on Chinese characters漢字 to communicate.

Therefore, Chinese officials (king) invented "Korean characters". For Koreans who speak Korean language (for command work). In ancient Japan倭 (before the 13th century). Korea朝鮮. North Vietnam交趾 was ancient Chinese territory . These regions were regional regimes established by Chinese people. The history of all ancient Korea朝鮮 (and Japan倭 and Vietnam交趾) is by Chinese characters漢字 and classical Chinese文言文. Only Chinese officials and scholars with high education level can write these records (Chinese emperors require Chinese officials (kings) in each region to record local history ).

从历史上看，中华文化的主要传播对象都是位于地理上的最东边：朝鲜、日本、琉球和被崇山峻岭隔离的越南，云南贵州和台湾依靠军事殖民，其他地区似乎是印度文化更有传播力，甚至佛教其实也是起源印度，直到东南亚和新疆的伊斯兰化，一种传播力更强的文化。

[@deacudaniel1635]

我认为中华文化的传播仅限于东亚的原因主要有两种:一种是汉字，一种是自然环境。汉字只适合书写汉语，不太适合书写其他语言，所以汉字的传播范围比较小。新疆的最早本土民族是吐火罗人(Tocharians)。他们说的是印欧语系语言，很像梵语，所以借用了印度的文字，比汉字更适合书写吐火罗语。藏语的文字也是来源于印度的文字，蒙古语在历史上用了多种文字，包括汉字，但是由于蒙古语的结构跟汉语完全不同，蒙古人早就放弃了写汉字，开始用来自中亚和南亚的各种表音文字，更方便写自己的语言。甚至朝鲜和日本创造了自己的文字，跟汉字一起用，因为汉字不能够完全地表现出朝鲜语和日语，然后越南是被法国所殖民，所以换成拉丁字母。汉字文化在东亚比在中华文明附近的其他地区影响更深的原因就是中华文明地区在东亚和其他亚洲文明之间，所以在古代，朝鲜，越南，日本等东亚民族只接触过中华文明，无法直接接触南亚和西亚，所以只能借用汉字，没有机会借用南亚，西亚，中亚的各种表音文字。

[@deacudaniel1635]

说到自然环境，东亚地区气候湿润，很适合发展农业文明。中华文明以农业为基础，儒家思想也是农业社会体系的产物，所以只有朝鲜，日本和越南的农业社会能接受儒家思想，但是西藏，新疆和蒙古都是非常干燥的高原和沙漠地区，只有游牧民族能生存在这样的地方，不能用农业文明的儒家思想的原则来组织它们的社会，所以中华文化对这些地区的影响力很弱。

[@weimingzhou7318]

印度文化（以印度教、上座部佛教、曼陀罗体系为代表）也是主要影响东部的东南亚，而很难影响西部的阿拉伯、波斯，向北只有印度雅利安人口大量迁入的于阗被印度化了。至于西藏的金刚乘佛教、东亚文化圈的大乘佛教，一般不被看作纯正的印度文化，所以西藏和东亚诸国有自己的文化圈。 但即便如此，我认为古代欧亚大陆主要的文明里，希腊-罗马文明与伊斯兰文明最强大，印度教文明次之，佛教文明更弱，最后是最东边的儒家文明。日本、韩国是因为地理位置在大陆东侧，离得最近的大型文明恰好是儒家文明，仅此而已。如果东亚大陆是个印度教帝国，不论这个帝国的主体民族的底层人民讲什么语言，这一个世界的日本、韩国大概率也会成为像高棉、占城、满者伯夷那样的印度教国家。而且在7世纪以前，即便是离中国非常近的朝鲜半岛、日本，他们的统治者对佛教的热情也高于对儒家的热情，比如新罗的一位王后叫摩耶夫人，这是个典型的印度式名字，而且来自佛教经典。朝鲜半岛在7世纪以后才逐渐接受中国式的名字。日本天皇和幕府将军虽然用汉字书写自己的名字，并且日本贵族给后代的命名也受到了儒家文化很深的影响，但与韩国、越南不同的是，他们的名字大部分保留了被中国文化影响之前的固有的读法，而不是改为用汉字音来读名字。如果南越国与汉朝没有征服越南北部，而是让当地人继续保持独立，今天的越南大概率会成为柬埔寨那样的信仰上座部佛教的印度化国家。而且，儒家、大乘佛教大规模传入朝鲜半岛、日本是在公元6世纪，而印度教大规模传入东南亚是在公元1世纪，所以总体而言，古代中国的软实力要逊色于古代印度。

The Shang of antiquity worshiped a God named 帝 Di. Later on, Protestants from the West came and translated the word "God" to 上帝 Shangdi in order to make it appeal to local population, and to better compete against Catholicism. The God Di of ancient Shang and the modern Christian God are *not* the same entity. The Christian God is the only god in his "pantheon", whereas Di is the highest god rule over lesser gods and spirits. Di is therefore closer to the Jade Emperor than to the Christian God.

[@deacudaniel1635]

Ancient Chinese had a very few Indo-European influence, but that doesn't make Chinese Indo-European. Chinese is a Sino-Tibetan language to begin with, and Shang Di is actually two words. 上=up, above and 帝=god, so it means "god from above" or "god of the highest place".However, he was often referred only as 帝 in early Chinese history, and 帝 (dì) alone may have Indo-European origin because of the contact of ancient Chinese people with Indo-European Tocharians from Xinjiang.Consider that the reconstructed proto-Indo-European word for god, *dyewos* is similar to reconstructed Old Chinese pronunciation of 帝，*tek-s*.

Some people in the comment confused why Vietnam is count as a Sinosphere country but other countries which has genetically East Asian and some has Chinese culture but are not. These are the 3 main reasons make a country to be in the East Asian cultural sphere, this explain why Vietnam is a Sino-culture country: 1. Influenced by Chinese culture (which have never been on Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Northeast India, Mongolia and the Turk countries although they are the East Asian genetically). 2. Countries with the most population isn’t Chinese people. This is really true because you can’t call a country with almost of the population is Chinese (except China) as a “Sino country” because the culture directly is Chinese culture itself then it doesn’t count as the “influence” but migration. Therefore Taiwan and Singapore simply doesn’t count because of that reason. Also Indigenous Taiwanese are genetically and culturally from Austronesian. Singaporean also influenced by the Hinduism, Islam culture because the population includes many Indian and Malaysian. 3. The last one and the most important thing is it must has used Chinese culture to create its own uniqueness culture. That clearly appear in Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese culture. Although they’re influenced by China, they still have their own amount of unusually diverse features developed from the Chinese culture that make a lot of differences from its origin. You can clearly tell which is it between Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese culture clearly. One more time I have to mention that although Bhutanese are East Asian genetically and its native culture is close to the Chinese culture but it has never been influenced by Chinese culture because all of the similarities started from the cultural coincidence between peoples of the same origin (Sino-Tibetan was a language group including Bhutanese). Also Singaporean doesn’t have their own culture since it was a young nation influenced by several of different cultures from the east to the west. Vietnamese is a part of Sinosphere because French only took 100 years to dominate Vietnam but Chinese took 1000 years. And even thousands of traditional Vietnamese architecture - building such as the royal palace: The yellow citadel of Thanglong (Hanoi city), the purple forbidden city of Hue (Hue city) ; temples from religious architecture: Tam Chuc pagoda (Ha Nam province), Bai Dinh (Ninh Binh province) ; and traditional house architecture: Duong Lam houses (Hanoi city), Ruong houses (Hue city), Dai Khoa houses, cottages and Lac Viet tribe’s stilt houses. Our clothing is Vietphuc including: Ao Tu Than, Ao Ngu Than, Ao Giao Linh, Ao Vien Linh, etc. Our major religion is Vietnamese folk religion, it was Vietnamese natural gods like Japanese Shintoism. We’re also influenced by Chinese northern Buddhism, Taoism and mostly Confucianism. Doesn’t like other South East Asian country, we’re mostly non-religion population. So how does it make sense if Vietnamese wasn’t influenced by Chinese culture?
