Around the middle Ages, two universal national cultures emerged in the vast land of Eurasia that spanned ethnicity-namely, Romania (ancient Rome and Byzantium) and China, respectively. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have had a complex feeling for ancient Rome. The official book named “Book of Later Han (Dynasty)” of ancient China, it was described as follows: "most of the Roman people are similar to the people of Qin Dynasty. They are all-powerful and capable of fighting". Therefore, the ancient Chinese Translation of "Rome" was determined as "Da Qin (the first empire of China)". Although there are great differences in culture and customs between Romania (ancient Rome and Byzantium) and China, which can represent the culture of Europe and East Asia, they are surprisingly consistent in terms of a national structure, complex multi-ethnic culture, and influence on neighboring countries. This paper analyzed the formation process of Romania (ancient Rome and Byzantium) and China in universal culture and their influence on neighboring countries, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the better study of European and Asian history and culture.
