CULTURE
JAPAN
Culture of Japan
Has evolved greatly over the millennia, from the country's prehistoric Jōmon period, to
its contemporary hybrid culture, which combines influences from Asia, Europe, and North America. The inhabitants of
Japan experienced a long period of relative isolation from the outside world
during the Tokugawa shogunate after Japanese missions to Imperia China, until the arrival of "The
Black Ships" and the Meiji period.
RELIGION
CHINA
Religions & Beliefs in China
China has been a multi-religion country since the ancient times. It is well known that
Confucianism is an indigenous religion and is the soul of Chinese culture, which enjoyed popular support among people and even
became the guiding ideology for feudalism society, but it did not develop into a national
belief.
Religions & Beliefs in China
According to a latest survey, 85% of Chinese people have religious beliefs or had some
religious practices and only 15% of them are real atheists. (The real atheists here refer to those who
do not have faith in any religions nor had any activities related to religions or folk customs.) 185 million people believe in Buddhism and 33 million
have faith in Christianity and believes in the existence of God. Only 12 million people are
Taoists, although more than one hundred million have taken part in Taoism activities before.

Chinese Religion Pictures Being brought into China 2,000 years ago, it was
gradually widely accepted by most Chinese people and
developed into three sections, namely the Han,
Tibetan and Southern Buddhism. Buddhism not only brought a different
religion, but also brought a different culture.

Confucianism
Confucianism, not a real religion, is just an ethical
and philosophical system, which developed
from Confucius’ thoughts and later was treated as a kind of belief to educate
common people. It obtained its stable position under the reign of Emperor Wu of Han
Dynasty (202BC-220AD), and became the ideology of
the society in the feudal system since then.

Taoism
Taoism, with more than 1,800 years’ history originated in
the Warring Period and came into being in Eastern
Han Dynasty (25 - 220). Now about 300 Taoist Temples are scattered around China, in which
about 30 thousand Taoists lived in. Around 5 Taoist
schools exist in the country and two main sections are
included in Taoism.

Islam
Being introduced into China in the 7th century in Tang Dynasty, Islam has more than 1,400 years’
history in the country. Now, Muslims live everywhere, but the highest concentrations are
Ningxia Hui Autonosmous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Gansu Province and even
Qinghai Province. Sunni Islam was the main branch worshipped by almost all the Muslims in
the country.
Christianity in China
As one of the three most popular religions (together with
Islam and Buddhism) in the world, Christianity influences the belief and life of over 30%
of the world’s population. Based on the Old Testament
and New Testament, Christianity is a monotheistic
religion based on belief in Jesus Christ. Originating in the
Middle East, this religion abounded in Europe, and then
gradually migrated to Asia, America, Africa, etc.
RELIGION
JAPAN
Japanese religion
The Japanese religious tradition is made up of several major components, including Shinto,
Japan’s earliest religion, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Christianity has been only a
minor movement in Japan. However, the so-called “new religions” that arose in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries are a prominent feature of Japanese religious life
today.
Shinto
Shinto, or the “way of the spirits or deities,” began to take form in Japan’s pre-historic period before the sixth century C.E. In this early
phase, Shinto was the religion of a pre-literate society that was organized around the central
social unit of the clan. Shinto deities or kami were seen as permeating the natural
world.
Buddhism
Buddhism arose in India in the
sixth century B.C.E and, after passing through China and Korea, arrived in Japan in the sixth
century C.E. As originally presented by the historical Buddha, Buddhism was a path of
practice that an individual could take up to gain release from suffering.
Confucianism
Like Buddhism, Confucianism also entered
Japan from Korea and China. The tradition was founded in China by Confucius (551-479 B.C.E),
whose teachings were passed on to posterity by his disciples in the Analects or Sayings of Confucius.
Having lived at a time of political unrest, Confucius tried to lead his world back to peace and stability by
urging people to cultivate virtue.
Christianity and the New Religions
Two other noteworthy components of the Japanese religious tradition are Christianity and the new religions. Christianity entered Japan first in the
sixteenth century, when Catholicism was introduced in 1549. It gained few followers at the time, and the Tokugawa family suppressed Christianity in the
seventeenth century. After the collapse of Tokugawa control and the opening of Japan to the world in the
Meiji period (1868-1914), Christianity was again introduced by Protestant missionaries.
MUSIC
CHINA
Music of China
Dates back to the dawn of Chinese civilization with documents and
artifacts providing evidence of a well-developed musical culture as early as
the Zhou Dynasty (1122 BCE - 256 BCE). The earliest music of the Zhou Dynasty recorded in ancient Chinese
texts includes the ritual music called yayue and each piece may be
associated with a dance.
MUSIC

Japanese Painting
Painting has been an art in Japan for a very
long time: the brush is a traditional writing
and painting tool, and the extension of that
to its use as an artist's tool was probably
natural.

Japanese Calligraphy
The flowing, brush-drawn Japanese rendering of text itself is seen as a traditional art form as well as a means of conveying written
information. The written work can consist of
phrases, poems, stories, or even single
characters.
