East Asia Concepts

Large model and small model

The geographical delimitation of East Asia is controversial. The “small” model includes that part of Asia that is under the influence of the extra-tropical monsoons . These include today's states of the People's Republic of China (with Hong Kong and Macau , but occasionally without Xinjiang , Inner Mongolia and Tibet ), Republic of China (Taiwan) , Japan , North Korea and South Korea . Vietnam is geographically included in Southeast Asia , but culturally belongs to East Asia.

The "large" model developed by Carl Ritter differentiates between Northeast Asia , including Mongolia, and the Pacific coastal region of Russia east of the Amur, and Southeast Asia .

In general, the term is now used to refer to the “small” model, which can also be defined in cultural and historical terms as that part of Asia that was shaped by Chinese culture (especially Chinese characters , Daoism , Confucianism , Mahayana - Buddhism , chopsticks ).

The numerically largest peoples in East Asia are Han Chinese (see peoples of China ), Japanese (see Ainu , Ryūkyū ), Koreans and Vietnamese .
