Abstract
The Sinosphere refers to China, the birthplace of Chinese characters, and its surrounding areas, including Vietnam, Korean Peninsula, Japan, and the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom. With the language of Chinese as the medium, China’s neighboring countries and ethnic groups learned not only national systems, political thoughts, and various kinds of knowledge from China’s different dynasties and developed similar cultures and values, but more importantly, traditional Chinese mathematics had great influence on these neighboring countries.
