Tell me about a concept that only exist in your culture.

In east Asia(China,Japan,Korea) we have some vocabulary about certain concept that only exist in our culture.

For example,        

孝,孝道，孝顺 (Chinese)

親孝行( Japanese)

which in English, they are called  filial piety

 filial piety is a virtue of respect for one's parents, elders, and ancestors.

In more general terms, filial <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piety" title="Piety" style="color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">piety</a> means to be good to one's parents; to take care of one's parents; to engage in good conduct not just towards parents but also outside the home so as to bring a good name to one's parents and ancestors; 　etc.(  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filial_piety)

This concept is very important in East Asian country (especially In China)

Also there are ideas known as  仁 (benevolence) 義(righteousness),are essential in Asian culture as well.

Although these words has translation in English but they are not equivalent!

義≠ what ''righteousness'' means in English
