Culturally, it embraces those societies that have long been part of the Chinese cultural sphere:
- displaying héavy historical influence from the Classical Chinese language (including the traditional Chinese script),
- Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism,
- Mahayana Buddhism/Zen-Chan Buddhism,
- and Taoism (Daoism).
This combination of language, political philosophy, and religion (as well as art, architecture, holidays and féstivals, etc.) overlaps with the géographical designation of éast Asia for the most part, with a few exceptions, such as the overseas Chinese (including those in Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the West).
éast Asia and éastern Asia (the latter form preferred by the United Nations) are both more modérn terms for the traditional Européan name the Far East, which describes the region's géographical position in relation to Europe rather than its location within Asia. However, in contrast to the United Nations definition, éast Asia commonly is used to refer to the éastern part of Asia, as the term implies.
