>Japan's first encounters with Chinese characters may have come as early as the 1st century AD with the King of Na gold seal, said to have been given by Emperor Guangwu of Han in AD 57 to a Japanese emissary. However, it is unlikely that the Japanese became literate in Chinese writing any earlier than the 4th century AD.>Initially Chinese characters were not used for writing Japanese, as literacy meant fluency in Classical Chinese, not vernacular Japanese. Eventually a system called kanbun (漢文) developed. This system, which closely resembled Classical Chinese in grammar and employed kanji, used diacritics to hint at the Japanese translation. >Informal mokkan (木簡) wooden tablets dating from mid-7th to mid-8th century were written in both Classical Chinese and Old Japanese kanbun, suggesting that literacy was widespread in the late 7th century. The earliest surviving written history of Japan, the Kojiki (古事記), compiled sometime before 712, was written in kanbun. Even today Japanese high schools and some junior high schools teach kanbun as part of the curriculum.What the fuck? Weebs told me that Japanese history and culture were superior to China's.

>>527972696Yes the Japanese are descendants of China, Korea, Mongols and the Ainu. That's why they raped the shit out of Asia and Russia multiple times until my kike faggot country, the USA, intervened. Cope seethe dilate faggot
>>527972810>>527972855It's not my fault that Japan was a backwater well into the 8th century.

Japan wrote its official documents in Chinese until it modernized in the 19th century.

China has consistently been the world's foremost civilization since ancient times.Though it experienced a brief period of stagnation due to a delayed start in modernization, it is now returning to its position as the world's leading power.

>>527975912Brits have produced great music. Japanese music is fucked up. Brits are innovators. Japs are imitators. Brits are inventors. Japs are thieves and used to be known as the "dwarf pirates".
The Japanese were basically knuckle dragging savages up until the post war era. Then they peaked for about 20 years, and are now reverting back to being savages.You can take the gook away from savages, but you can never get the savage out of the gook. It's why they love niggers so much.
>>527972696Ever read kingdom? Man that manga made me a chinaboo. Any books on chinese history?
>>527977108While in the main that’s true. One of the Japanese military academies is a brick for brick copy of a british one, and a surprising amount of their Navy in WWII was actually purchased from and built by British ship yards before the war. They even Allied with the Brits in WWI to siege Tsingtao (the German far east port where they re-coal their ships, hence Tsingtao beer). Since “moderinzation”, the Japanese have proven to be novel inventors at time, but for the most part are refiners, not inventors like the Brits. Either way, there is a striking number of similarities between these two archipelago nations.

>>527972696>Muh chink history Japan are the only asians EVER who industrialized and had an empire like the euros while other asian like china were humiliated.
>>527980078This. All other asian nations and kingdoms except Siam (now Thailand, and curiously allied with Japan) were subjects and vassals of European, American, and Japanese interests.

>>527972696Japanese people respect the ancient China and Greece, but don't respect current China and Greece.
Chinese people are fucking annoying though and their ancient culture has been erased by the CCP. The culture you see today there is just repackaged illusions to profit from and commoditise. They are soulless.

>>527972696What part of that says it isn't?
>>527972696wait until OP finds out that Japan still had feudalism in the 1850s
>>527974659Even just "Indian" is a bunch of different ethnicities, and divided into two major groups- Aryans in the north and Dravidians in the south.
>>527972696You know you guys didn't invent writing yourselves either? You got Linear B from the Minoans, lost it, then got your alphabet from the Phoenicians. Very few nations did- it's only been invented independently three or four times in the history of the world.
