That isn't actually that true for Japan and most of South East Asia. It's only the greater China region, Vietnam and Korea where Confucianism was a big thing.

This is not at all true: the Tokugawas heavily patronized neo-Confucianism.

But the relative impact has been pretty low, and its relevance to Japanese cultural development is also very low. Neo-Confucianism was mostly evident in South Korean culture, less in China, and basically down to very little in Japan.

Don't bother much, that user just replies with "but the relative impact is low" to some of the most well-supported and obvious examples in this thread that argue presence of significant historical influence of imperial China on the region. In your case it was about confucianism, in one other, it was about kanji[0].

I also studied Asian history as well, but I studied it in Asia. I often come across a lot of Americans who study Asian history from a Sinocentric viewpoint which is why I write strongly on the matter.
