The Silla dynasty in Korea was influenced by the Chinese Tang dynasty and its emphasis on Confucianism. This led the Silla dynasty to establish a Confucian academy to train high officials, promoting Confucian values and ideas in their own government and society. This helped to further integrate Korean society with Chinese culture and political systems, and solidified the role of Confucianism in Korean governance and society.
