THE VAST ASIAN CULTURE


Asia is quite a formidable place, not only does it have a land area about 17 million square miles but it also has quite many varying and distinct cultures and traditions you can find. Of course, being this continent quite huge you will surely expect many Asian cultures and traditions in different countries in this continent.

Asia is quite an enjoyable place to visit. One common thing about all the countries in Asia is that almost all their festivities are quite fun and very colorful. Furthermore, Asian countries have a very rich history and long standing traditions that has been passed for many generations. Though most of these countries continent are separated by a body of water there are still common Asian cultures you can find and there are also that are completely different.

Asian countries have quite varying Asian cultures. First of all many countries that belong to Asia experienced a lot of abductions, conquest and attacks from other countries both in and out of this continent hence, a lot of Asian cultures were also influenced by the country that, let say, took hold of it in the past.

Japan
The country that started and excels in Ikebana, or the art of floral arrangement, and also started the famous origami, which is an art of paper folding. This country is also known for its respectable Samurai’s that were great warriors long ago in Japan. Japan has really quite a rich and very respectable culture.

Central Asia
This part of Asia was the most influenced by other countries around the world. Many wars, battles and horrifying events occurred here which eventually molded this place to what is it now. Of course, there are still good things that happened in Central Asia. Rice planting was very rampant and very popular in this places which eventually made Asia to be the number one rice producer in the whole world.

Chinese
Another great Asian culture.For sure, you have heard about FengShui. This “bringer of luck” as I would like to call it started all in the Chinese culture. FengShui revolves around the Chinese People even today. Whenever they start a business, open a restaurants or architectural design of a building, they almost always based it on FengShui to bring good luck the the people indulging on those businesses and establishments.
