At first glance, the double-decker attic looks resplendent, and it is decorated with gold hollows everywhere. Exquisite outdoor furnishings, luxurious indoor mahogany furniture, precious antique vases, porcelain, bright flower arrangements and bright porcelain floor tiles. This is the former rich mansion in Malaysia.

Speaking of these, we must mention the origin of local culture and China. During the Ming Dynasty, some of Zheng He's entourage came from Fujian or Chaoshan area. They followed Zheng He to Malaysia and fell in love with local women. The offspring they gave birth to were called "Chan" for men and "Niang" for women.

After these Chinese who married Malaysian women settled down, they not only brought the folk culture of China to the local area, but also brought their eating habits and ancestor worship customs, and then they blended with western culture continuously, resulting in a unique Malaysian "mother-in-law" culture.

The Nyonya family is a famous local family who is good at business and has its own unique culture. With the rapid development of economy, it has become a treasure in human history, and it has become a different kind of feeling for local people.

The Nyonya family doesn't advocate women to learn too much cultural knowledge, but pays more attention to caring for their husbands and teaching their children, learning cooking and female popularity. Nyonya doesn't need to take part in the main affairs, and basically stays at home, so many Nyonya devote their lives to the kitchen and the education of future generations.

Nymphs have high requirements on dress and hair binding. Nyonya must wear Nyonya costume, which is improved on the basis of Malay costume, with low-cut shoulders and light gauze, decorated with flowers, birds, insects and fish, and fresh color.

When it comes to dressing, it is inseparable from needlework. As a qualified prostitute, you must have exquisite needlework, which can also play a vital role in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Before getting married, Nyonya must also weave colored beads on the cloth with small plaid patterns, and knit the beaded shoes of husband and wife with needle and thread, which is also a beautiful implication for husband and wife. When they get married, they will hold a "long table banquet" to entertain relatives and friends.

The head shape must be a "ball head" shape, and the hair must be consistent, and no messy hair can be exposed.

Diet is a lifelong goal of every mother-in-law, which has become an important part of maintaining the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and husband-and-wife relationship. Malaysia has gathered spices from all over the world, so every Nyonya can skillfully use many spices in many dishes. Are the most well-known "soft Baaodang" and "Barbie bandage" in Nyonya cakes? Malaysian cuisine is rich and colorful, emphasizing the original flavor, which is different from Thai cuisine and Indian cuisine. Besides some main courses, it also includes some snacks and tea, which is also a test for a qualified mother.

Although Nyonya family is far away from China, it still maintains the same ancestor worship and architectural style with us. If you have the chance, you must go to Penang Museum to see Nyonya culture and enjoy Nyonya cuisine!
