Presentation Abstract
Although China and Korea have prominent and distinguishing cultures, one does have a more impacting influence over the other. They do have a long history of exchanging knowledge, culture, and resources with other neighboring countries. But Korea’s relationship with China is very prominent and goes back decades and decades. Many cultural anthropologists and musicologists study Korean history, and the first place that they usually look are Chinese documents and historical sources. During the 4th century A.D. and onward, many of the Korean kingdoms were greatly influenced by Chinese resources, goods, and culture. Even some of the writing systems, architecture styles, and musical instruments came from them. But Korea was able to absorb this information and integrate it and transform it into its own unique style. This poster explores the relationship between Ancient Chinese history and culture and how it has impacted Korea’s culture and customs and their everyday life.

A Study of China’s Historical and Cultural Impact on Korea
Although China and Korea have prominent and distinguishing cultures, one does have a more impacting influence over the other. They do have a long history of exchanging knowledge, culture, and resources with other neighboring countries. But Korea’s relationship with China is very prominent and goes back decades and decades. Many cultural anthropologists and musicologists study Korean history, and the first place that they usually look are Chinese documents and historical sources. During the 4th century A.D. and onward, many of the Korean kingdoms were greatly influenced by Chinese resources, goods, and culture. Even some of the writing systems, architecture styles, and musical instruments came from them. But Korea was able to absorb this information and integrate it and transform it into its own unique style. This poster explores the relationship between Ancient Chinese history and culture and how it has impacted Korea’s culture and customs and their everyday life.
