From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. East Asia or Eastern Asia (the latter form preferred by the United Nations) is a subregion of Asia that can be defined in either geographical or cultural terms. Geographically and geo-politically, it covers about 12,000,000 km (4,600,000 sq mi), or about 28 percent of the Asian continent, about 15 percent bigger than the area of Europe. More than 1.5 billion people, about 38% of the population of Asia or 22% of all the people in the world, live in geographic East Asia. This is about twice the population that Europe has. The region is one of the world's most populated places, with a population density of 133 inhabitants per square kilometre (340 /sq mi), being about three times the world average of 45 /km (120 /sq mi), although Mongolia has the lowest population density of a sovereign state. Using the UN subregion definitions, it ranks second in population only to Southern Asia. Historically, many societies in East Asia have been part of the Chinese cultural sphere, and East Asian vocabulary and scripts are often derived from Classical Chinese and Chinese script. Sometimes Northeast Asia is used to denote Japan, North Korea, and South Korea. Major religions include Buddhism (mostly Mahayana), Confucianism or Neo-Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese folk religion in China, Shinto in Japan, Shamanism in Korea, Mongolia and other indigenous populations of northern East Asia, and more recently Christianity in South Korea. The Chinese Calendar is the root from which many other East Asian calendars are derived. From Wikipedia under the

Asked by guardianangelz - Sat Nov 14 07:13:10 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Buddhism--Hard to say, because its hard to imagine Japan minus Buddhism. Buddhism thrived all over Asia, and did so partially because of its unobtrusiveness. Unlike Islam or Christianity, converts are not required to make a radical break with traditional indigenous beliefs/rituals. Therefore Buddhism was able to coexist with the native animistic religion Shinto. Also government and political philosophy-- Chinese influence /Confucianism) can be seen in Taika Reform (AD 646) where attempts were made to centralize authority and make government more effective through bureaucracy, and strengthening the prestige of the emperor.
