Spread Of Classical Civilizations
After the fall of classical civilizations, we saw a spread of civilizations / cultures influencing other civilizations. For example, in 632 Muhammad, Islamic prophet was born and years later he would began to spread Islamic around the Middle East. Meanwhile in Eastern Asia, Chinese civilizations (Sui, Tang, and Song) would begin to influence other Asian cultures such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Most specifically Korea, during the spread of Chinese during 600-1573 Korea would try to continue Chinese elite culture, like Silla rulers rebuilding their capital at Kumgong on Kyongyu plain to look like Tang counterpart. Also they changed up Chinese culture to fit their own, for example having Buddhism as their main religion rather than Confucianism.
Mainly, the spread of Chinese civilization had a lasting influence on Korea.
Korea in many ways focused on becoming similar to their southern civilization, the Chinese. The Silla’s would go as far as paying tribute to Chinese emperors for peace between the lands. They also submitted as a vassal to the Tang Emperor. The Silla would also send embassies Tang court where Korean scholars would collect Chinese texts or notes of the latest fashion of court antiquark. Koreans also continually produced trading with the Chinese to provide Korean aristocrats with fancy clothing, special teas, scrolls and artwork. Another bring Korea would attempt and accomplished to copy was rebuilding after a fall of dynasty. The Chinese went Sui / Tang / Song Southern Song while the Koreans had a just as successful Silla / Koryo / Yi where it doesn’t take long to rebuild after the fall of a preholds dynasty. A common shame to these collapses was internal shrifts leading to outside attacks. We saw this when the Mongols attacked the Southern Song dynasty and again when the Koryo dynasty fen to Mogols invasions. Due to the cause of durability of Chinese civilizations as well as technological and economic innovations, other cultures, such as Korea, began to imitate the Chinese.
Korea while using Chinese civilization as a template civilization began to develop their own identity as well. Rather than supporting Confucianism, the Korean elite favored Buddhism due to self-interests. Also Korean artwork began to pass the Chinese with the Koreans fine work of making pottery.
