In terms of culture and history, Vietnam is most similar to China. Both countries have Confucian-influenced societies, a strong emphasis on family values, and a long history of Chinese influence. Both countries also have a strong agricultural tradition, and have been heavily influenced by Chinese literature, philosophy, and art.Korea and Japan, while they also have some similarities to China, have distinct cultural and historical traditions that set them apart. For example, Korea has a strong shamanistic tradition, and Japan has a unique culture that developed independently of China. Both countries have also been heavily influenced by Buddhism, which is not as prominent in China.Overall, Vietnam is the most similar country to China, but all three countries have their own unique cultural and historical traditions that set them apart.

在文化和历史方面，越南与中国最为相似。两国都是深受儒家学说影响的社会，重视家庭。两国都有悠久的农业传统，并深受中国文学、哲学和艺术的影响。韩国和日本虽然也与中国存在一些相似之处，但它们有着截然不同的文化和历史。例如，韩国有很强的萨满教传统，日本有独立于中国而发展的独特文化。两国都深受佛教的影响，但佛教在中国更为盛行。总体而言，越南是与中国最相似的国家，但这三个国家都有自己独特的文化和历史传统，都有与众不同之处。

Depends on which part of China you are referring to,

if it is Guangdong, Guangx and Yunnan in the south, it is more similar to Vietnam.

If it is Jilin, Liaoning and Shandong in the north, it is more similar to South Korea.

If it is eastern Fujian, Shanghai, and Zhejiang, it may be closer to Japan.

这取决于中国的哪个地区了

如果是南方的广东、广西和云南，和越南更相似。

如果是北方的吉林、辽宁和山东，则更接近韩国。

如果是东部的福建、上海和浙江，则更接近日本。

Traditionally, like ancient culture and society, Japan is the most similar to China I would say.

but modern society and culture, overall, it is definitely Vietnam.

But it also depends where in China.

Manchuria? Definitely more similar to Korea. (traditional culture wise)

Canton? (Hong Kong + Guangdong) Definitely more similar to Vietnam. (Literally, used to be extremely similar to Vietnam, and still is very similar in my opinion)

从传统上讲，比如古老的文化和社会，我认为日本与中国最相似。

但从现代社会和文化来看，越南则更相似。

另外这也取决于和中国的哪个地区来对比了。

满洲肯定和韩国更像(在传统文化方面)。

广州（香港+广东）肯定和越南更像(过去和越南非常相似，在我看来现在也还是非常相似)。

Hilarious question. But I’ll bite.. Nobody on this planet wants to have anything to do with Chinese. So I can confidently say that China is definitely a class of its own.

这个问题真搞笑。但我想回一个。这个星球上也没有人想跟中国人扯上任何关系。所以我可以自信地说，中国绝对是孤家寡人一个。

Definitely Vietnam.

Japan borrowed from China during Tang and Song dynasties, then stopped. It may be similar to China now due to both undergoing Westernization, but it’s not like Korea and Vietnam did not.

Korea borrowed from China from Tang all the way to Ming, including Song and Yuan. It stopped at Qing. Again, currently closer to China since both follow Westernization.

当然是越南。

日本曾在唐宋时期向中国学习，后来就停止了。由于两国都在慢慢西化，日本可能和现在的中国有些相似之处，但韩国和越南也一样。

韩国从唐朝到明朝甚至宋元，一直向中国学习，清朝时才停止。和日本一样，因为西化，韩国现在和中国也有相似之处。

Vietnam borrowed from China from Han all the way to now, as opposed to Japan and Korea, which stopped. Vietnam went through the same transformation as China from Han to Tang since it was part of Chinese territory. After Vietnam became independent, the next 2 dynasties borrowed from Song. Then after Ming occupation, it borrowed heavily from Ming, then borrowed from Qing in the last dynasty. Both China and Vietnam were dominated by Western powers, underwent Co sm, civil wars, and Vietnam continues to follow the Chinese economic model to this day.

跟日本和韩国不同，越南从汉朝至今就一直向中国学习。越南和中国一样经历了从汉朝到唐朝的转变，因为在那个时期，越南曾是中国领土的一部分。越南独立后，在接下来的两个朝代一直向宋朝学习。明朝再次占领越南后，又大量借鉴明朝的制度，最后一个朝代又借鉴了清朝。中国和越南都被西方列强统治过，都经历了*主义和内战，直到今天越南仍然沿袭了中国的经济模式。

"Vietnamese still confidently believe that they have preserved the ancient tradition of China in its original state." (Yamamoto Tatsuro: History of Sino-Vietnamese Relationship, 1975)

“越南相信自己妥善保存了中国的古代传统。”(山本达郎:《中越关系史》，1975)

Just an excerpt of the similarity:

• 土地改革运动 (Land Reform) (1946) - Cải cách ruộng đất (Land Reform) (1953)

• 百花齐放 (Hundred Flowers Campaign) (1957) - Nhân văn Giai phẩm (Nhân Văn–Giai Phẩm Affair) (1958)

• 改革开放 (Economic Reform) (1978) - Đổi Mới (Đổi Mới Economic Reform) (1986)

• 中国十八大以来的反腐败工作 (Anti-corruption Campaign) (2012) - Nhóm lò đốt củi (Corruption Crackdown) (2017)

• 中华人民共和国网络安全法 (Chinese Cybersecurity Law) (2016) - Luật An Ninh Mạng (Vietnamese Cybersecurity Law) (2018)

我摘录了一些相似之处如下：

•土地改革运动(土改)(1946)- Cải cách ruộng đất(土改)(1953)

•百花齐放(百花运动)(1957)- Nhân văn Giai phẩm (Nhân Văn-Giai Phẩm Affair) (1958)

•改革开放(经济改革)(1978)- Đổi Mới (Đổi Mới经济改革)(1986)

•中国十八大以来的反腐败工作 (2012) - Nhóm lò đốt củi打击腐败 (2017)

•中华人民共和国网络安全法(中国网络安全法)(2016)- Luật An Ninh Mạng(越南网络安全法)(2018)

On the surface, Vietnam is most similar to China out of the three. This is due to the fact that Vietnam underwent Sinicization all the way up until the Qing Dynasty. Meanwhile, Japan visually has a culture most distinct from China due to the fact that they ended cultural exchange with China the earliest out of the other three nations of the Sinosphere. Korea is lesser than Vietnam similarly because they cut off cultural exchange with China with the fall of the Ming as Korea viewed the Manchus as a barbaric tribe of the north; and hence cut cultural exchange with them.

从表面上看，在这三个国家中，越南与中国最相似。这是由于越南一直到清朝都在进行汉化。日本的文化与中国最为不同，因为他们是汉语言圈中最早结束与中国的文化交流的国家。韩国和中国的相似度比越南小，因为他们在明朝陨落后就切断了与中国的文化交流，韩国人认为满族是一个野蛮的北方部落，不愿与他们进行文化交流。

The Architecture, clothing, and cuisine of Vietnam is all undeniably the most similar to China’s. Vietnam’s most popular traditional dress the Ao Dai is reminiscent of Chinese Qipao. While some may argue the addition of pants was uniquely Vietnamese, the Chinese Qipao also had more contemporary renditions which had the pants. In terms of the slimming down of the silhouette, both Vietnam and China slimmed their Qipao and Ao Dai silhouettes as a result of growing influence from Western fashion. Vietnamese architecture also most closely resembled China’s as their hyper-curves and extremely ornate and gaudy maxmalist decor also takes after China’s Qing Dynasty Aesthetics.

不可否认，越南的建筑、服装和美食都与中国最为相似。越南最流行的传统服饰奥黛会让人想起中国的旗袍。虽然有些人可能认为奥黛搭配的裤子是独一无二的越南特色，但中国旗袍也有更多搭配裤子的现代款式。在剪裁方面，由于西方服饰时尚的影响越来越大，越南和中国都将旗袍和奥黛剪裁得更瘦了。越南建筑和中国建筑也最为相似，因为它们的曲线和极其华丽和华贵的装饰也借鉴了中国清代的审美。

In terms of language as well, Chinese and Vietnamese are much closer in phonetic relations than that of China and Japan’s or China and Korea’s. Indeed, Vietnamese is categorized as an Austro-asiatic language, however, their language is tonal much like Chinese which greatly set them apart from their other East Asian counterparts (Korea and Japan). Perhaps an exemplification of these similarities are seen between the Chinese dialect of Cantonese and Vietnamese. While Cantonese and Vietnamese are two distinctly different languages, to the non-native ear, one may easily confuse the phonetics of Cantonese and Vietnamese for being one another due to their phonetic similarities.

在语言方面，汉语和越南语的语音学关系也比汉语和日语或汉语和韩语的语音学关系密切得多。虽然越南语被归类为“南亚语言”，但其语言的音调与汉语非常相似，因此越南语与东亚其他国家(韩国和日本)的语言截然不同。在中国的粤语和越南语之间可以看到这些相似之处。虽然粤语和越南语是两种截然不同的语言，但对于非母语的人来说，因为发音相似，很容易混淆粤语和越南语。

Hence, on the broad surface, I’d argue that Vietnam is the most similar to China out of the nations in the Sinosphere. The reasons for that is simply because nations in the Sinosphere act almost like a cultural snapshot of a certain Chinese Dynasty; conversely, Vietnam’s snapshot of China’s culture is the latest among the three subsequently making it the most similar to the latest version of Chinese traditional culture.

因此，表面上看，我认为越南是汉文化圈中与中国最为相似的国家，因为汉文化圈国家都很想某个中国朝代的文化快照，但越南对中国文化的反射是这三个国家中最新的，和中国传统文化的最新演变最为相似。

I’m a Chinese and can speak Japanese and korean. I’ve lived in japan for one year as an exchange student. My parents are korean ethnic family and I got many Vietnamese friends and have been to Vietnam for two times.

i could be sure that Vietnamese is far much closer to Chinese than the other two.

though many Vietnamese people might deny that they were influenced by Chinese

but not only historical government system, architecture and traditional costumes, from the languages and festivals, traditions to our way of judging family, career and marriage, almost everything is extremely similar

我是中国人，我会说日语和韩语。我作为交换生在日本生活了一年。我的父母是朝鲜族，我有很多越南朋友，也去过越南两次。

我可以肯定，越南人比其他两个国家更像中国人。

虽然很多越南人可能极力否认他们深受中国的影响，

但不论是历史上的政府制度、建筑、传统服饰，还是从语言、节日、传统到我们对家庭、事业、婚姻的看法，几乎一切都极其相似。

you can see that if kee away from politics, Vietnamese and Chinese are really easy to become friends.

so, although i’m chinese and China regards Vietnam as our long traditional enemy, I do really wish that someday Vietnam become a developed country with high life standard, cuz nowadays we really need some eastern Asian countries to spread ““eastern Asian” culture to the world and Vietnam is definitely the best choice

如果抛开政治，越南人和中国人很容易成为朋友。

所以，虽然我是中国人，中国把越南视为传统敌对国，但我真的希望有一天越南也能发展成一个生活水平较高的发达国家，因为现在我们需要一些东亚国家向世界传播“东亚”文化，越南绝对是最好的选择。

Korea is also very close to China. If Vietnam is closer to southern China culture, then Korea is affected by typical northern Chinese culture influence, though Korea also got affected by Japan.

Japan is a total different story. I’d rather regard japan as a western country with eastern Asian skin

韩国也跟中国很相似。如果说越南更接近中国南方文化，那么韩国受中国北方文化的影响更多，但韩国同时也受到了日本的影响。

日本就完全不一样了。我觉得可以把日本看作一个拥有东亚皮肤的西方国家。

As a Chinese my answer is: Korea is similar to Northren Chinese culture(Beiing and its surrounding area like Shandong Province); Vietnam is similar to Southern Chinese culture(HK，Guangdong province or called Canton);Japanese culture contain local accounts for more, but it is also influenced by the culture of eastern China（shanghai and its surrounding area like zhejiang，fujian province）

China is very large. Although they all speak Chinese with different accents, the cultural customs vary greatly from place to place, just like different countries in Europe.

作为一个中国人，我的回答是：韩国与中国北方的文化(北京及其周边地区，如山东省)较为相似；越南与中国南方的文化(香港，广东省)较为相似；日本文化包含更多的本土因素，但也受到了中国东部文化(上海及其周边地区，如浙江，福建)的影响。

中国疆域辽阔，中国人虽然都说汉语，但是会带有各地不同的口音，各地的文化习俗也存在着极大差异，就像欧洲众多国家一样。

Haoyang Li (李皓阳)

Because of the climate and the history.

Vietnam is more similar to the south China.

Japan is more similar to the east coast of China.

Korea is more similar to northeast China.

But, they are more like an independent culture than a similar culture or a duplicated culture of China.

And for a common Chinese, to be in Japan is more like being home since they still use a few Kanji.

因为气候和历史。

越南和中国南方更相似。

日本和中国东部沿海地区更相似。
