Abstract

With the steady progress of the “Belt and Road” Initiative construction, the economic and cultural ties between China, Japan, and South Korea have be-come increasingly close. When faced with the global issue of water control, the spirit of harmonious coexistence between human and nature shared by the three countries based on the agricultural culture of the ancient oriental farming civilization will be the key to solving the problem. This paper sum-marizes the internal relationship, scientific nature and modernity of the ori-ental water control culture of China, Japan and Korea, and proposes to carry out cross-cultural communication not only between the three countries but also beyond the border of East Asia.
