In what ways does court life, as Sei Shonagon describes it, reflect Buddhist and Confucian influences, and in what ways does it

quester [9]

According to Sei Shonagon -a Japanese author in ancient Japan- Chinese influence was reflected in the life of the Court.

Aproximatelly in the eighth century, Japan built a city in the central part of the territory called Heian-kyo, which means "peacefulness.", what today is known by Kyoto.

During the period of Heian(794-1185), Japan lived periods of stability and the aristocracy of the Imperial Court dedicated part of their lives to spread culture, art, poetry, and social organization that somewhat was influenced by China Buddhism, and Confucianism.

And as times went by, this segment started to move away from those influences to develop their own poetry and arts, as Japanese aristocracy considered that art was one of the most important human accomplishments.

The Nicaraguan Revolution (Spanish: Revolución Nicaragüense or Revolución Popular Sandinista) encompassed the rising opposition to the Somoza dictatorship in the 1960s and 1970s, the violent campaign led by the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) to oust the dictatorship in 1978–79, the subsequent efforts of the FSLN to govern Nicaragua from 1979 to 1990, and the Contra War, which was waged between the FSLN-led government of Nicaragua and the United States-backed Contras from 1981–1990. The revolution marked a significant period in Nicaraguan history and revealed the country as one of the major proxy war battlegrounds of the Cold War with the events in the country rising to international attention.

The initial overthrow of the Somoza regime in 1978–79 was a bloody affair, and the Contra War of the 1980s took the lives of tens of thousands of Nicaraguans and was the subject of fierce international debate. During the 1980s, both the FSLN (a leftist collection of political parties) and the Contras (a rightist collection of counter-revolutionary groups) received large amounts of aid from the Cold War superpowers (respectively, the Soviet Union and the United States).

The Contra War ended after the signing of the Tela Accord in 1989 and the demobilization of the FSLN and Contra armies. A second election in 1990 resulted in the election of a majority of anti-Sandinista parties and the FSLN handing over power.
