Chinese influence is very pervasive in Korean Culture, stretching back to Ancient times, with Korea's first Kingdom, Gojoseon. The Chinese gave the Koreans the Chinese script, which became Korea's main writing script (Hanja) until the Joseon Dynasty. This is until the rise of Korean Nationalism. With the rise of Korea's nationalist movement, the decision has been made to change the written script to Hangul. The Chinese also introduced sword-smithing technology, such as the differential clay technique to Korean weapon-smiths. They are also the first ones to introduce gunpowder weapons to the penisula. Chinese navy Technologies also influenced Korean shipbuilding for years to come. Confucius, a famous Chinese philosopher is also a key influence in Korea Culture. Many Chinese administrative practices are also used in Korean Kingdoms, from the 3 Kingdoms to the Joseon dynasty. Key Chinese sinocentric motifs such as the mandate of Heaven is put into practice by the Korean Kingdoms. Zen Buddhism is also brought over from China. The Koreans and Chinese share similar mythologies, religious practices (Incense burning and Ancestral worship etc.) . Korea's architecture in Ancient times is also heavily influenced by the Chinese. The Chinese Lunar Calender is widely adopted in Korea. The Chinese ethnic costume, Hanfu also served as a basis for the Korean hanbok, Japanese Kimino and Vietnamese ethnic costume. Some Traditional Festivals such as New Year (Seollal) also originated from the Chinese. Chinese artforms, pottery and irrigation methods are also spread to Korea. However, some Koreans view the Chinese as imperialist invaders as they have attempted and succeeded in colonising Korea for varying periods of time (The Four Commandaries of Han etc.) and making it a Chinese prefecture, like Annam. China at that time, invaded Korea for many different reasons, mostly because of Korean provocation. Korea later became a vassal state to China for quite some time and placed under Chinese protection. Ming Dynasty China helped Korea in the Imjin Wars and other incursions, making sure that Japan is unable to annex it during that time. China in the past, used to be the leading civilization in the East. As a result, it influenced East Asian culture as we know it today, from Japanese to Vietnamese culture. Korea is no exception, especially with its close proximity to Mainland China.
