HIS 1231 - Traditional East Asia

Credits: 4
Survey of the history of China, Korea, and Japan, from mythical times to 1600. Although this survey outlines the individual histories of China, Korea, and Japan, it emphasizes the cultural continuities and historical interactions that have made “East Asia” a coherent cultural region: shamanism, writing systems, rituals of kingship, Buddhism, Confucianism, literature and visual arts, technological development, travel, commerce, and war.
