One thing that Japan borrowed from China is the Chinese language. Japanese nobles women wrote in the Chinese language. They also had Confucianism introduced to them from China. Confucianism was a way of thought in China.
Explanation:
China influenced Japan through alphabet and i believe religion. Chinese culture had an enormous impact on the life of Japanese. In olden times, Japanese adopted the Chinese script as there were no formal Japanese writing at that time but now both the languages had developed a lot that they stand as unique. Though Japanese follow Shinto beliefs, there is even a great following of Buddhism and Confucianism even today in Japan.
Imperial form of government were practiced in both the empires and Japanese had adopted the Chinese titles, ranks and official roles of Chinese bureaucracy in Japan. Rectangular road ways were built in China and the same system of building roadways is followed in Japan. Music of Chinese specially the sound of bells, gongs and rattles were adopted in Japan due to the spread of Buddhist culture. Kimono is the style of dressing which is followed essentially in Japan even today but the fact is that this type of dressing is adopted from the Kingdom of Han Period in China.
There were many impacts on urban areas due to increased immigration. The biggest change to urban areas was the increasing number of ethnic enclaves or neighborhoods. These neighborhoods reflected the cultural elements of the homeland but with the freedom and values. These neighborhoods continued food, religious, and language traditions while immigrants adjusted to American life. Services to these neighborhoods eventually rose up like adjustment agencies and political boss systems. These "native" American systems helped and also took advantage of new immigrants but also served as a connection between American culture and the ethnic cultures.
In middle adulthood, a person is most likely to lose an inch in height.
This happens because as we grow older, our bone density lessens (in the spinal column) which results to a collapsed vertebra. Another reason that people lose around an inch in height during middle adulthood is because joint cartilage in adults get exhausted.
