Asia is the most populous continent in the world, and it is also the most densely populated continent. Its name is also the oldest. The full name of Asia, transliterated as Asia, means "the place where the sun rises". According to legend, the name of Asia was given by the ancient Phoenicians, and frequent maritime activities required the Phoenicians to determine their orientation. Therefore, they generally called the area east of the Mediterranean "Asu", which means "sunrise place"; The place west of the Mediterranean Sea is generally called "Ereb", which means "there is no land in the sun". The word Asia is evolved from Phoenician Asu, and the geographical area it refers to is very broad, roughly referring to the vast areas of the East. In the first century BC, Asia became the name of an administrative province of the Roman Empire, and then it gradually expanded, and the nouns included the whole Asian region today and became the largest continent name in the world.
Asia has a long history and culture. Among the four ancient civilizations in the world, China, India and Babylon are all located in the Asian continent. The economic and cultural level of Asia has been in the leading position in the world for a long time. China's four great inventions, the Indian discovery of "0" and the invention of Arabic numerals, and many scientific inventions have made great contributions to the world.
