Excerpt from The Heritage of Eastern Asia
Yet every culture has its own individuality, conditioned by the nature of the geographic environment, the peculiar problem-s of its history, the fortunate or unfortunate accidents of time, its relations with other peoples. Thus any culture that has a long history is infinitely complex. Some elements may have a depth of thousands of years, may carry the marks of a score of changes in emotional significance in the drift of the centuries; some may be mere relics carried in the stream of a larger complex; some may be primitive forms rationalized out of all relation to their original meaning and function; some are novelties of yesterday. There is a certain hard ness about a cultural element - custom, ritual, symbol - so that to the observer it may seem to be the same for ages, though its cul tural significance may change. This problem of depth and time, of rationalization and interrelation of elements in a complex whole is the pens (minor/um which the outsider must cross to enter into the understanding of the soul of a people.
