East Asia

During the years between 1000 and 1400 the East Asian region saw extensive change and development concerning the nature of the elites that ruled respective countries. In China there was the growth of the examination culture, Japan experienced the emergence of the Samurai, Korea saw the growth of the Yangban, and Vietnam became content with a tribute system to China. Each of the respective countries grew and developed independently and for the most part were able to distance themselves from China and begin to form their own national identity along with their own system of ruling elites.

In China there is a definite beginning to the new political elite which stems from the transition from the Tang to Song dynasties culminating in 960.

The transformation in Vietnam also develops independent of China, and here that independent transformation is intentional. With the establishment of the Li dynasty in 1010 lasting until 1225, the examination system of China is deliberately not embraced. With the eventual decline of the Li dynasty the Song dynasty of China attempts to dominate Vietnam, this only helps lead to more fervent nationalism in Vietnam. With the end of the Li dynasty a new one is founded. The Tran dynasty is established in 1225 and begins the tribute system with China that is to be a primary basis for power and wealth in Vietnam for the next two hundred years. The tribute system allows Vietnam to remain autonomous of China and allows them to sell their goods in the ce
