The Arts of the Three Kingdoms
Cultural developments from the Three Kingdoms period include the introduction of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism from China. Of these, Buddhism became the main religion for the common man and the ruling aristocracy both. From the influence of Buddhism, Korea derived new forms of music, painting, architecture, and statue designs. There were also contributions from Confucianism to Korean development during this period. Governmental models, written histories, and the advancement of calligraphy as both an art and a basic skill are Confucian inputs. Distinctively Korean arts are identifiable from the Three Kingdoms period.
