Journal of Asian Restudy 2021 Fall

Asian culture has played a very important role in the human history, and had made great contribution to the evolution of the human civilization. However, there are many people who still have much misunderstanding about Asian culture, or simply don’t take it as important as it should be, since the power of advanced technology has convinced many people of the leading position of the science-based western culture. The Asian culture had its glorious periods thousands years and centuries ago, but had been in its downturn for quite a while now. Isn’t it the time to re-study it, and let its beauty shine again to the world?

for the language and culture exchange to happen between them with

lot less barriers, which is not like the current situation. Consequently,

the Egyptian language probably had gone on a direction toward

phonetic symbol-based system under the influence of Ocean people,

and made the writing of some of the original pictorial symbols have

more alphabetical look. We bet sailors, sportive people and

merchants of Ancient Greece and Rome would feel it was much
