The concept of traditional civilization refers to an organized social and cultural system that is based on values, practices, and beliefs that have been passed down through generations, often with a strong connection to nature and religious traditions. In contrast to modern societies, which tend to value technological progress and change, traditional civilizations often preserve long-established social and cultural order.
Many traditional civilizations have hierarchical social structures, with leaders, experts, and community members working together to maintain order.
The cultural identity of a traditional civilization is often defined by a set of values, beliefs, and practices that are passed down from generation to generation, reinforcing social unity. The existence of a central language and a dominant culture, albeit with peripheral ethnolinguistic diversity, contributes to the unity and identity of the civilization. Many traditional civilizations have a holistic view of nature, where nature is seen as sacred and as a source of sustenance and wisdom. Music, dance, visual arts and religious rituals are often important forms of cultural expression and transmission of values in traditional civilizations.
