False. The Silla dynasty in Korea was closely connected to the Tang dynasty in China, but they did not use Chinese as their written language. They adopted Chinese characters and literature but developed their own script called "Hangeul." Additionally, the Silla dynasty mainly embraced Buddhism as their primary religion, rather than Daoism.
