Yeah, I guess it's a big discussion to begin with...
But specifically, I was speaking of the way they live: in a modest way. Their music is lovely, peacefull, calming, their incense sticks as an action of praying for the spirits of their ancestors, the calligraphy, their marshal arts; except for the last one, the rest ones bring me melancholy, I don't know why. It's like their way of living has come out of an RPG. If you haven't watched Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, I advise you did it. This is one of the soundtracks from the movie; it brings me tears everytime I listen to it:

(Of course I combine it with the movie's ending scene)
