• The Four Elements borrowed from China, The Capital Being at Nara, Confucianism and Prince Shotoku's Constitution, Buddhism Introduced, Shinto, and Japanese Use of Chinese Writing System are some of the cultural influences on Japanese history. During the Tang dynasty, China's cultural influence on Korea and Japan peaked as Buddhism gained popularity and a large number of Korean monks visited China.

• A long list of concepts, including rice cultivation, writing, Buddhism, centralised government models, civil service exams, temple architecture, clothing, art, literature, music, and eating habits, were transmitted to Japan (sometimes indirectly via Korea) by China, the much older and more developed country.
• The imperial court quickly adopted Confucian organising ideas and adopted a title, rank, and function-based bureaucracy that was similar to the Chinese model. Additionally, urban and agricultural principles from China were introduced. Based on Chinese designs for capital cities, the Japanese built a number of cities.
• Japanese culture was heavily impacted by Chinese culture during the classical era. The evolution of Japanese culture was significantly influenced by Buddhism, Confucianism, and other aspects of Chinese culture.
