Does Nyonya culture still exist? Nyonya culture still exists in today's society. It's just that the real Nyonya culture is almost gone, because it has a strong feudal nature. Now Nyonya has abandoned the feudal part, but it is precisely because of this that it exists in name only.
The reason why Nyonya culture exists in name only is that the feudal thought in Nyonya culture is out of touch with the current society.
Nyonya is the name of a daughter born to a Chinese in Malacca after marrying a local. A large part of feudal thoughts in Nyonya culture is a bondage to women. Anyone who has watched the TV series little nyonya knows that nuns have to learn cooking and needlework since childhood and can't go out to communicate with outsiders. Even their own marital affairs can only be decided by their parents.
In today's era when women's status is constantly improving and everyone advocates freedom, this idea obviously cannot survive. However, this feudal thought is the most important part of Nyonya culture. So the Nyonya culture still exists, but it is not a real Nyonya culture.
Nyonya cuisine in Nyonya culture still exists. Another important part of Nyonya culture is its food culture, that is, Nyonya cuisine, which is still a favorite food. Niangjia cuisine is a new cuisine which is a combination of Chinese food and malaysian cuisine. Every family has its own recipe and secret recipe, which is passed down by word of mouth.
Mother's family dishes are sweet and sour, slightly spicy, spicy and other flavors, and they also have their own unique views on seasonings and sauces. In addition to the taste of the ingredients themselves, the layering of various seasonings can also be clearly tasted. Nyangka cuisine is still a local feature of Malacca.
From the perspective of food culture, Nyonya culture has been well preserved and developed.
No matter what kind of culture, the attitude towards Nyonya culture is constantly developing and changing with the pace of social changes, and Nyonya culture is constantly changing itself in this process. As long as people are still there, culture is still there.
