ABSTRACT

A new index called Sinicization Index was proposed to measure the Sinitic influence on the countries in Sinosphere. The index was defined as the degree of reliance on the intellectual heritages Sinic civilization produced. Confucianism, Hanzi and Chinese calendar were considered as the intellectual heritages for formulating the equation of the index. The estimated scores of the index showed that the Sinitic influence on South Korea and Vietnam was greater than that on Japan at the present day.
