![]() These cultures are totally different from each other in the same way as European cultrues are different from each other. Infact in China alone, there are 52 (I think) government recognised ethnic groups, each with their own culture, and many with toatall different languages which are not mutually-intelligible (think Cantonese and Mandarin). it is easier to understand the different cultures of China if you compare it to the European Union and its different cultures. Korea and Japan also have many different ethnic groups within the country. Japan is made of many islands, and many of them have different cultures and languages. Okinawa and mainland Japan are totally different from each other.
It is harder to differentiate the cultures of East Asia, as we are not constantly exposed to these cultures and were not as heavily influenced by these cultures, as we were by the european cultures(I'm mainly talking about countries heavily influenced by Europe) |
