• The Heian Period decentralizes the government completely, and there is a move to an Aristocratic farming society with samurai as protection. - We don’t necessarily “call” it

feudalism, but it kinda is…

Korea• Koryo dynasty adopted

Chinese influence to develop a central government in 10th Century.

• Civil service exam adopted in 958, however, it was limited to aristocratic families.

• Buddhist themes originally dominate in art and sculpture; however, Confucianism themes dominate in the late period.

influence with the collapse of the Tang Dynasty.

defender of Vietnamese Independence.

• Upper Class tended to follow Confucian ideals, while others preferred Daoist ideals.
