Philippines * * * The Republic of the Philippines (Philippines: Republika ng Pilipinas, 1898 June 12-) is located in the eastern part of Asia and consists of the Philippine Islands (7 107 Islands) in the Pacific Ocean and its surrounding islands. There has never been a unique and unified Philippine culture in the cultural history. One of the main reasons is that the Philippines is an island country, and there are too many different languages in different regions. Because it is difficult to communicate with each other, cultural development and characteristics are very local. More than 80 languages are still in use. There have been many immigrants in the Philippines since ancient times, influenced by various eastern and western cultures, including China, Malaysian, Indonesian, Spanish, Mexican and American.

An archipelago of 100 islands, about 800 kilometers (500 miles) off the southeast coast of Asia. The country is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, bordering the Philippine Sea in the east, the West Ribes Sea in the south, the Sulu Sea in the southwest and the South China Sea in the west.

000 square kilometers (1 15

800 square miles). The Philippines was ruled by Spain for 333 years, and then by the United States for 48 years, so it has many cultural ties with the West. For example, it is the fourth most populous country in Southeast Asia with English as its official language and the only country in this region with Catholicism as its main religion. Nevertheless, the people of this country still belong to Asia in spirit and consciousness. Philippine society is full of contradictions in many aspects, perhaps the polarization between the rich and the poor in the country is the most obvious contradiction. The country is rich in resources, but it is in the stage of developing its potential. Despite a large amount of investment from home and abroad and the rapid development of industrial potential, the country is still mainly an agricultural country. As far as education level is concerned, the Philippines has a high literacy rate and is one of the most developed countries in Asia. Climate The Philippines has a tropical climate, which is greatly influenced by the rainy season monsoon. The monsoon blows southwest wind in May ~ 10, and northeast wind in February ~1/. Therefore, the national temperature remains relatively stable from north to south, and the four seasons are divided into dry and wet seasons. However, the rainfall and frequency vary greatly throughout the country, and there are obvious rainy and dry seasons on the west coast facing the South China Sea. The dry season generally starts from 65438+February and ends in May. The first three months of the dry season are cool, the last three months are hot and the other months of the year are humid. The dry season gradually shortens from west to east until it disappears. In rainy months, there is a lot of rainfall in most parts of the country, with the largest rainfall in the eastern Pacific coast except that it passes through the central Visayas to the central Mindanao in the south and sulu archipelago in the southwest. From June to 65438+February, typhoons often hit the Philippine Islands. Typhoons mostly come from the southeast ocean surface, and their frequency gradually increases from south to north. In some years, the number of typhoons is as high as 25 or more. The areas hardest hit by the typhoon include Sama Island, Reytai Island, Quezon Orientale Province and Bataan Islands. When typhoons bring floods and strong winds, they often cause great loss of life and property. Mindanao is generally unaffected by typhoons. 1 1 ~ February is the best season of the year. The air is cool and fresh at night, and the weather is sunny and pleasant during the day. In the hot months of dry season, the temperature can reach as high as 38℃( 150℉) in most areas, especially Cebu, Davao and Manila. With the increase of altitude, the temperature in the whole country is decreasing. Some cities have pleasant climate all year round, such as Baguio in the north of Luzon Island, Jarja and Lucban in the south of Manila, and Malabar in the middle of Mindanao. Sometimes the temperature in these places will drop to 6℃(43℉). Filipinos are called Filipinos. Their ancestors are descendants of Malays, from Southeast Asia and Indonesia today. Since 10 century, the contact with China has led to the formation of mixed blood between the Philippines and China, which constitutes a small part of the population. A small number of domestic residents are from China. According to some people's fair skin, tall figure and aquiline nose, we can also see that these people are Spanish-Filipino or Filipino-American. The relatively small number of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent has added new elements to the racial integration in the Philippines. There are also a few Americans (excluding American soldiers) and Spaniards among the residents. The local aborigines are called Negrito or Pygmy, and they only account for a small part of the total population today. Estimates of the total number of languages and dialects in the Philippines have been divided, and scholars have pointed out that there are about 70 languages and dialects. These languages are closely related and belong to Austronesian language family (Malay-Polynesian). Traditionally, the languages of the Philippines can be divided into the following eight groups: (1) Tagalog, which is spoken in Manila, central and south-central Luzon Island, Mindoro Island and Marinduk Island. (2) Cebu language, which is used in Cebu Island, Bohol Island, East Negros Island, West Leitai Island and parts of Mindanao. (3) Ilocano, which is used in many areas in northern Luzon Island. (4) The Greek-Canadian language, which is used in parts of Banai Island and West Negro. (5) Bikol, which is spoken in southern Luzon and Catandunes. (6) Waii-Waii, distributed in Sama Island and Geitai Island. (7) Bangbanya language, which is distributed in some parts of central Luzon Island. (8) Pangasinan, distributed in central Luzon Island. Other important languages are Maguindanao and Maranao, which are distributed in parts of Mindanao, and Akron, which is distributed in parts of Mindanao. The national language, which is also the most widely used language, is Filipino based on Tagalog. Filipino and English are official languages and teaching languages. Tagalog is one of the richest languages in the Philippines, with many literary works. Cultural life Philippine society is a discordant mixture of diversity and coexistence. Geographically, it belongs to the East, but culturally, it is more westernized. Assimilation constantly overcomes the long-standing differences caused by the relative isolation of natural environment between different people from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Nearly four centuries of western rule left an indelible mark on this country, brought western culture to the Philippines, and became a catalyst for the formation of political and cultural unity consciousness in the Philippines. The Catholic Church built in Spain and the * * * Temple in the * * region provide people with spiritual sustenance. At the same time, the education system established by Americans and expanded by Filipinos has become a powerful factor to promote social and economic progress. However, traditional intimate family relationships and other Asian social fashions still exist. The revival of the old Balanga system with the smallest administrative unit is helpful to the revival of the ancient tradition. Asian and African history and literature, which were neglected in the past, have received more attention. Without abandoning western culture, the Philippines has strengthened its ties with Asia. Early Spanish chroniclers confirmed that Filipinos carved the heads of their gods and ancestors on wood. Filipinos can play many kinds of musical instruments, including flute, nose flute and guitar. They perform appropriate songs and dances to celebrate courtship, marriage, harvest and other festivals. Many songs and dances accompanied by the above-mentioned musical instruments have been retained or reinterpreted and presented by some song and dance troupes. These song and dance troupes include Bayanihan, Philipinescas, Baranga, Hariraya, Karilagan Ensemble, and some song and dance troupes under the Manila and San Diego Theatre Associations, and have also performed abroad. Many Filipino musicians have emerged, including composer and conductor Antonio J. Molina, composer Delean, who is famous for his nationalism, and opera singer fuentes. The Philippine Cultural Center, the Folk Art Theatre and the reconstructed Manila Metropolitan Theatre are all located in Manila, providing venues for performing arts, local and foreign dramas and ballet performances. In order to encourage the development of art, * * * awarded incentive bonuses and established an art center in Los Banos, south of Manila.
