Features: Asia and Africa are the two major cradles of human civilization. The millennia-long development and evolution of Asian and African cultures have composed an important chapter in the history of human culture. In modern society, how Asian and African countries inherit and promote their own cultures has become a hot topic of development. China has long-standing and profound exchanges with Asian and African countries, and culture has become a bond for friendly exchanges. As educators in non education in Asia and Africa, understanding and absorbing the cultures of target countries has become the focus of teaching and research. After all, in any international exchange and communication, cultural factors play a pivotal role. This collection of essays, "Essays on Asian and African Languages and Cultures," gathers the latest research achievements of teachers from all generations () of the Department of Asian and African Languages and Cultures at Beijing Foreign Studies University, covering areas such as Asian and African languages, literature, religion, ethnic studies, and general culture. It serves as a summary of our department's research work. Faced with such a grand and rich theme as Asian and African culture, our work is still in its early stages and urgently needs more in-depth and systematic research. We hope that this collection of essays will be the prelude to a series of future research achievements on Asia and Africa.
