Culture of Daxia

The culture of Daxia has been historically shaped by its lengthy periods of insularity, even from other cultures in Audonia. When a state of internal order and peace was prevalent, successive Daxian empires would slowly seek to impose their own cultural mores on neighboring states, often through force of arms. Originating from the central plateau of modern Daxia, Daxian culture would influence the language, art, cuisine and political customs of states across eastern Audonia, known as Dolong. Daxian culture primarily sees foreign ideas through a prism of superiority, a particular nuance of Daxian culture is in how it adopts foreign concepts only after a long process of filtering and modification, known in academic circles as Jinpo or the squeezing of egregiously non-Daxian elements.
