"Some periods of civilization are considered "classical". These are times when a society makes extraordinary achievements in art, science, religion, philosophy, and politics. Classical ages often exert a strong influence over later generations.

The classical periods of the two great Asian civilizations of India and China gave rise to influential religions and philosophical systems- Buddhism, Confucianism, and Daoism. In India, advances in mathematics and astronomy furthered understanding of the way the world works. Both civilizations (India and China) produced artistic and literary works that served as models for hundreds of years and are still studied and admired today.
