What is the difference between the physical environment produced by the birthplace of ancient Asian and African civilizations and the birthplace of ancient European civilizations? Europe is a marine civilization (developed in industry and commerce, similar to Greece).
Asia and Africa are civilizations in the big river basin (also known as farming civilization, that is, small-scale peasant economy).
What is the difference between the geographical environment of the birthplace of ancient Asian and African civilizations and ancient Europe? The "East Asian continent" slopes from west to east and faces the sea. It is far away from other ancient cultural centers in the west and southwest, and its position is just the opposite. Maritime traffic with these cultural centers is long and difficult. Therefore, in ancient times, the ocean played a greater role in the communication between this region and other cultural centers than in communication, which was just the opposite of the situation around the ancient Mediterranean. The communication between this area and other ancient cultural centers mainly passes through the mainland, but the land is relatively narrow, especially near the west and southwest of West Asia and India. Caravans can cross mountains, plateaus and desert areas, but it is not conducive to the large-scale activities and migration of ethnic groups. The grassland belt north of Tianshan Mountain is a natural stage for nomadic activities, but it is far away from West Asia and India, and cultural exchanges are only conducted indirectly by nomadic people on the grassland.
On the contrary, the terrain inside the "East Asia continent" makes it easier to communicate between regions within the mainland than between these regions and the outside of the mainland, and the "East Asia continent" itself has a broad space for activities. In this way, since entering the class society, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River have become the economic and cultural center of this region, and with the development of history, it has gradually expanded to include the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which has made the economic and cultural exchanges between various regions in the mainland centripetal and gradually formed an independent cultural area centered on the Han nationality. This is somewhat similar to ancient Egypt, but different from the two river basins, the culture of the two river basins is constantly changing due to the replacement of ethnic groups in the northern mountainous areas and the southern desert. But it is different from Egypt, that is, the central cultural area of "East Asian continent" is far wider than Egypt, and there is enough room for development.
On the other hand, however, this region is not completely isolated from the rest of the world like South-Central Africa and America. Although there are some difficulties in the communication between this area and other cultural centers, this kind of communication is still lasting and frequent. The nomadic people in the north of China, through the vast grasslands in this area, are closely related to the ancient nomadic people in the grasslands of Central Asia up to the Black Sea and the Balkans. China culture has a profound influence on these nomadic peoples, and spread to West Asia and Europe through these grassland peoples. The traditional cultures of these nomads, such as the bronze wares of Chesia, have also become the common features of northern nomads and western nomads in China, and their living habits are the same as those of Khufu and Khufu. As for the commercial road south of Tianshan Mountain in Altai Mountain, it is the channel for cultural exchange between China and other regions. The cultures of India, West Asia and even Europe, such as Buddhism, Islam, painting, sculpture, music, dance, cotton planting, food and so on, have all been introduced to the western edge of the "East Asian continent". After being absorbed and integrated by local ethnic groups, it was introduced into Chinese mainland in the form of prototype or variant, which deeply influenced and integrated Chinese culture. Buddhism, for example, has been infiltrated by the Han nationality and even achieved greater and brand-new development. Han culture first spread to neighboring nationalities, and then to the west, such as sericulture, porcelain making, paper making, gunpowder and so on. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the development of navigation technology, the importance of maritime traffic gradually surpassed that of land, forming an important channel for Chinese and foreign exchanges.
Therefore, the development of ancient culture in China is independent, but not isolated. It spreads its influence to other parts of the world and plays an important role in the development of world culture. At the same time, in the long process of historical development, foreign cultures have been introduced into China and merged into China's inherent culture. However, it has not changed and cannot change the basic characteristics of China culture, but has made China culture more colorful.
What is the difference between the natural geographical environment produced by ancient Asian-African civilization and ancient European civilization? One is marine civilization (similar to Greece)
One is farming civilization (it seems to be also called river civilization, which is the kind of small-scale peasant economy)
The ancient civilizations in Asia and Africa are all great river civilizations, and the civilizations are mainly concentrated in great river basins, such as the Yellow River basin in China, the Ganges River basin in India, the two river basins in West Asia and the Nile River basin in Egypt. Europe is mainly a marine civilization, relying on the ocean, such as Mediterranean civilization (Roman civilization) and Aegean civilization (Greek civilization). One is near the river plain and the other is near the ocean.
What is the difference between ancient civilization and the natural geographical environment produced by ancient civilization? Civilization itself is a civilization, and the natural geographical conditions that produce civilization are the factors that produce civilization and the objective conditions.
The geographical environment of the origin of western civilization is only the west! If ancient Greece, the islands of ancient Greece were densely covered, close to the Mediterranean, with mountains and few plains, it led to difficulties in the production of small-scale peasant economy. We should know that the small-scale peasant economy needs a certain geographical environment, that is, the terrain is flat, and the geographical environment of ancient Greece is suitable for developing business. So ancient Greek agriculture was also a commodity agriculture. Economic opening is conducive to the formation of a democratic system. So ancient Greece formed a system that was obviously different from Persian Empire, ancient China and ancient Egypt, that is, city-state democracy.
What is the difference between civilization and the geographical and natural environment produced by the ancient civilization in Figure 2? This question mainly examines students' historical facts about ancient Greek civilization. When solving problems, they closely followed the key information such as "natural geographical environment" and learned from their knowledge that China ancient civilization, Indian ancient civilization and Egyptian ancient civilization all originated in the great river basin, but only ancient Greece originated in the marine area and belonged to the marine civilization. According to this analysis, a meets the meaning of the question, so choose a.
What are the differences between ancient Greek civilization and ancient Asian-African civilization in terms of birthplace? Ancient Asian-African civilizations originated from large river basins (for example, Egypt originated from the Nile, Babylon was a two-river basin, ancient India was the Ganges and Indus, and China was the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers).
In ancient Greece, the ocean was the center (Aegean civilization in the Mediterranean was the origin of Greek civilization)
So this is a
What is the difference between western civilization and Asian-African civilization in origin? Why is it different? The birthplace of European civilization, if counted in Europe, should be developed on the basis of Greek civilization. But in fact, Greek civilization was not entirely invented by the Greeks themselves, but developed on the basis of ancient Egyptian civilization in Africa and Babylonian civilization in Asia. For example, Greek characters evolved from Egyptian hieroglyphics, while astronomy developed from Babylonian astronomy.
Well, to put it simply, the birthplace of European civilization is not independent and not old enough. Although it is original, it is not original. It is different from the birthplace of Asian and African civilization, just like the difference between primary forest and secondary forest.
