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.

the original creativity. Group of people could create novel things also,

however, have to be orchestrated through many times of group

practice in order to play a concert of symphony, during which process,

the individual input would have been reduced to the minimum. The

solo performance could be quite different, which would allow the
