What native elements of Korean society made it distinct from China?

While a vast majority of Korean musical instruments clearly have some Sinitic ancestry, most of these imported instruments have never been widely used in Korean music, and many are now obsolete.[8] The qin (Korean kŭm), for instance, is almost never played outside of the semi-annual Sacrifice to Confucius (Korean sŏkchŏn).[9] The comparatively popular kayagŭm and kŏmun'go, although they are reputed to have originated in China, have been independent for centuries, and have been modified significantly from the Chinese originals.[9]

The traditional genre of tangak (literally "music of Tang") was imported from China, probably mostly during the Koryŏ period.[10] The aak genre, by contrast, was developed in Korea in the fifteenth century based on Chinese written sources from an earlier period, as the style had already fallen out of fashion in China.[11] Despite Korean claims to aak retaining its "pure" Chinese form it bears marks of alteration after being imported to Korea.[11
