To what extent are Koreans, Japanese and Vietnamese influenced by China culture?

China culture has the greatest influence on neighboring countries, such as surnames, festivals, music and games.

Surnames: In Korea, Japan and Vietnam, ordinary people didn't have surnames at all in the early days, and surnames were handed down from China, so you can see that Korean surnames and Vietnamese surnames can be spelled in Chinese characters, and their surnames are all from China. However, it is not surprising that the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam, such as Vietnamese, are descendants of China Baiyue, Vietnam Baiyue and Vietnam Baiyue. Moreover, some of South Korea's most popular surnames, such as Lu, Xiang Pu and Hong, were actually spread to South Korea from the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty, which is in terms of surnames.

Festivals: China has all Korean and Vietnamese festivals. No matter what Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival you have, of course, the Spring Festival is also indispensable. In park chung-hee, South Korea, people are forbidden to celebrate the Spring Festival by administrative order, but every year on the Lunar New Year, Koreans still celebrate the Spring Festival even though there is no holiday. This happened in Vietnam, so you have to ban people's habit for thousands of years by administrative order. You can't go to China.

Music and Games: China culture has a deep-rooted influence on Japanese, Korean Peninsula and Viet Nam. Another interesting aspect is the so-called superstition, that is, the geomantic omen we talk about, the divination we talk about and so on. In fact, these cultures have also spread to the Korean peninsula, Japan and Vietnam since very early ancient times, which can be said to have been influencing modern times to a great extent.
