A VIEW ON ASIAN CULTURE


Asia is quite a very large country which backs that conclusion even more because Asia is the largest continent which spans 17,139,445 square miles with a gap of about 5,000,000 square miles to the second ranking continent. As you can see Asia is quite a formidable place. Of course, being this continent quite huge you will surely expect many Asian cultures and traditions in different countries in this continent.

First of all 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.

Whenever they start a business, open a restaurants or architectural design of a building, they almost always based it on Feng Shui to bring good luck the the people indulging on those businesses and establishments.

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.

Still, I am pretty sure that you have learned a bit of Asian culture after reading this article. One thing is for sure, whenever you plan to visit any country in Asia you will surely see many smiling faces and warm welcomes for that is the Asian way.
