What's the difference between Persian culture and Arabic culture?

First, the rise of Arab culture was later than that of Persian culture. The ancient Persians had established a splendid civilization and a huge Sassanian dynasty. After the Arabs conquered Persia in the 8th century, they absorbed advanced Persian culture, such as adopting Persian administrative system and studying Persian medicine and architecture. But Arabs brought Islam and Arabic to Persians, which had a greater influence on Persians.

Second, Arab culture mainly embodies an Islamic civilization, and Persia is not as obvious as Arabia. Persian civilization is mainly manifested in the form of oriental civilization. The religion of Persia is Suo Luoya's Zoroastrianism or Zoroastrianism.

Third, Arab trade is very developed. At the same time of economic exchange, Arabia is also a disseminator of eastern and western cultures. It spread China and Indian culture to the west, and Byzantium and its own culture to Arabic culture in the east. Religious factors are very strong, but they are also very positive in academic treatment. Cordoba in Spain and Baghdad in Mesopotamia are both very prosperous cultural centers.
