Detailed explanation-1: -China had major influences on Japanese culture and philosophy. Confucianism, Chinese writing, or kanji, and Chinese methods and knowledge related to astronomy were all influential in Japan.

Detailed explanation-3: -China, the much older state and the more developed, passed on to Japan (sometimes indirectly via Korea) a long list of ideas including rice cultivation, writing, Buddhism, centralised government models, civil service examinations, temple architecture, clothing, art, literature, music, and eating habits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Medieval Japan was heavily influenced by China by its direct sea route and through Korea.
