The descendants of the early Chinese living in Southeast Asia who married the indigenous Malays in Southeast Asia were named Baba for the boy and Nyonya for the girl.
Most of their mothers and daughters receive English education. Although they can't speak Chinese, they still retain the traditional customs and etiquette of China, such as weddings, funerals and weddings. Chan Nyangnya's culture combines the characteristics of Chinese and Malays, and is unique in dress and diet.
Bright colors and patterns, as well as unique tailoring design are the characteristics of Nyonya costumes. Generally speaking, chan chan's costumes include tunic suit and suit, while Niangjiao's costumes are mostly inspired by Malaysian traditional salon costumes.
Culture:
Some China people who have received Chinese education also call those China people who have received British education since childhood "dead". This usage is contemptuous, which means that the China people have forgotten their ancestors or are not like China people. In addition, there is a local Minnan idiom called "Three generations become dead".
"Nyonya" originally refers to the descendants of Chinese and Malays, especially women, and later evolved into a culture, referring to the integration of Chinese and Malays. Nyonya culture is influenced to some extent by local Malays or other non-Chinese ethnic groups.
This also includes diet, so you can also eat many Nyonya dishes in Malaysia, such as pig's feet with sweet sauce, fried pork slices, stewed meat with bamboo shoots and so on. People who like desserts can also find bosom friends in their mother's family dishes. The maiden cake made of coconut milk, vanilla leaves, glutinous rice and sugar is moderately sweet and chewy.
