Idol Culture and East Asia
[2023-10-18 10:11:35]
From product advertisements approved by celebrities to live television programs of orthopedic surgery, the commercial nature of "idol culture" is the key to changing the beautiful ideals, masculinity and femininity of mainstream society in East Asia. Korean idol groups are rapidly becoming popular in both domestic and East Asia (including China, Japan and Taiwan), so women and men are increasingly exposed to the "ideal" body sexual image (Epstein and Joo 2012).
The origin of the idol of Amorgos comes from Asia and East Asia, but it is the most common in Cycladic art. Idols are fairly primitive sculptures, but they have angular and abstract nature. It has a flat wedge-shaped body, a sturdy cylindrical neck, and an almost uncharacteristic face. A lack of personality indicates that beauty is not important. The only characteristic of the face is a nose-like ridge. In the Egyptian era, the nose is the soul of the statue, and the statue lost its soul when cut away. Prehistoric civilizations also have many other birthrate idols (Lasco, Willendorf, etc.).
Greek and Roman cultures are the foundation of Western civilization and therefore all Western countries have much in common in culture (although they are highly diverse). There are several other big parts of the world, namely South Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East, which share a common cultural foundation (see Global Civilization). The basis of reunification of South Asia is Indian culture, Chinese culture of East Asia, Muslim culture of the Middle East. Eastern China is a temperate forest area (see climate and biome). This enhances the enthusiasm for civilization over the west, most of which is covered by the Tibetan Plateau (the largest and highest plateau in the world) and its surrounding mountains (including the Himalayas along the southern tip of the plateau), and western China It is. The extreme north is mainly a desert. Therefore, the urbanization process in the west half of China was weak.
The east is not the center of Asia but the center of Asia. These societies are geographically and economically (East Asia, Central Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia), but politically and economically very mixed, but general In sharing cultural values and philosophy. In addition, there are major differences between the east countries, provinces and regions, but the whole system, philosophy, and cultural values have a big difference between the East and the West as a whole.
Often various regions within Asia and the "continent" are divided into more natural geographical and cultural subregions such as Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia etc. From a geographical point of view, Asia is not a unique continent, and culturally many Asian cultures and people have little or no common history. Asian arts, music, food, literature are an important part of Asian culture. Oriental philosophy and religion also play an important role, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Muslim are all playing important roles. One of the most complex parts of Asian culture is the relationship between traditional culture and the Western world. (Wikipedia)
