*''Korean'': 實學 ''(silhak)''
''Silhak'', or "Practical Learning," was an intellectual movement in [[Joseon Dynasty]] Korea which advocated empirical approaches, engagement with Western ideas, and a search for indigenous Korean (i.e. rather than Chinese or Confucian) culture and identity. In the 18th century, during the so-called Korean Renaissance, ''Silhak'' became the dominant scholarly attitude.

In the arts, ''silhak'' inspired a shift away from the painting of idealized landscapes to the depiction of real scenes. Genre scenes, that is, paintings of commoners & their lifestyles and activities, became popular as well.
