Chinese, Korean, Japanese culture, which is more attractive?

Well, all of these cultures are interconnected, because they have lives as neighbors/friends/enemies for centuries. There are some similarities, and there are some decided differences. For instance China is one of the largest countries in the world, and the people are very diverse, depending upon their locations. So the cultures are different all over the country. There are 2 official languages, but that does not take into account the thousands of dialects that also exist. Japan is an island nation, and Korea is a peninsula, and both are extremely small in area. As you know, Korea is divided into 2 parts, and believe me when I say that there are some things about the culture of North Korea that are not like any other place on the earth.

Strictly speaking, I love Chinese food and Japanese food, but I am not fond of Korean food. I do not enjoy any of their music. Except the drums which I say in Korea. Chinese music and Japanese music really grates on my nerves. (But that is just me, and I have had several opportunities to listen to it.) I believe that the clothing of the Japanese is spectacular (I am speaking of the traditional kimono's and the more formal types of clothing.) I have found that each of these cultures has a history of respect and consideration for others. I am baffled by their necessity to "save face" and never admit publically that a mistake has been made.

I also know that it is much easier for us as Americans to accept the social faux pas of people who are not familiar with our traditions than most people from any of these cultures. Example: In China it is a sign of (prosperity) if a host can offer many different dishes at a meal, and the expectation is that the guest will eat his/her fill. It is also the expected thing to leave some food on the plate, indicating that the host was most gracious, but the guest had more than he/she could eat. Here in America, it is often taught that we need to clean our plates. There are many reasons for this, frugality, respect, etc., traditions, whatever, but it is not the cultural thing to leave food on the plate. But American's will not be offended if you leave food, nor will they be upset if you don't. In China, it is a sign of great dishonor that a guest is not able to get completely full. Is this foolish? Of course, but it is part of this culture, and therefore, it could cause hurt feelings. I am speaking from experience, so I know what I am talking about.

In Japan, of course, one must always take off shoes at the door, and there will always be slippers provided by the hostess. It again, is a sign of disrespect that t guest not remove his/her shoes. This again might seem like a very small thing, but it is a social faux pas that happens all the time.

You have to decide which of these cultures seems the most desirable to you. There are probably thousands of books and movies about these things, in addition to the information that can be found here on the internet. Also, if you have friends that are from these countries, then ask them questions about their traditions. Learn from them.

I wish you luck

All of them are excellent cultures but I love Chinese the most......

I appreciate both Korean and Japanese cultures, but Chinese culture to me is truly exciting

I am sure all of them are very interesting, they look similar but also very difference.

It depends on what you find attractive.

Well the chinese did influence the koreans and the japanese a lot thats why they seem so similar

Japanese

up until the olympics they all looked the same to me.not the cultures but all the girls looked alike and all the boys too.but the chinese people at the olympics looked best and the ones at the take-out place look better than the ones at those japanese restaurants that cook in-front of you.i heard asians think japanese look best but i think vietnamese and thai hold a tie for best looking.sorry but koreans are ugly to me unless their mixed with black like chanel imans mom and kimora simmoms

It's not nice to compare cultures like that. This is very disrespectful.

Just because one country does it different than the others, doesn't make any country better.

Please do not ask this question in real life; it is extremely offensive.

Both Japanese and Korean cultures were copied from the Chinese.

I love my own thanks. :)
