Chan Nyangnya (or native Chinese/overseas Chinese) refers to the descendants of China in the Ming Dynasty who settled in Malacca, Boyi and Sri Lanka at the beginning of15th century. A few Tang people who settled here in the Tang and Song Dynasties were also scraped away by Chen Nianya, but there is no source to prove that there were Tang people who settled here in the Tang and Song Dynasties, so generally speaking, Chen Nianya refers to the descendants of Daming. The culture of these descendants of Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties was influenced to some extent by local Malays or other non-Chinese ethnic groups. Men are called "chan chan" and women are called "Niangjiao". Before the 1960s, Channyangnya was a native of Malaysia, but due to "some" political factors, it was classified as Chinese by the Malaysian government (that is, Malaysian Chinese) and lost its indigenous identity. Today's status in Malaysia's constitution is no different from that of1the "newcomers" from the late 9th century.

Most of these people immigrated to Southeast Asia around the Ming Dynasty in China. Most of them are from Fujian, China or Chaoshan, Guangdong, a few from Guangdong and Hakka, and many of them live with Malays. Some cultures have the color of China traditional culture, such as their traditional wedding in China.

The language spoken by Zen people is called Zen dialect, not just Min dialect. While using Chinese grammar, the proportion of Malay and Thai words used in different regions is also different.

Some China people who have received Chinese education also call those China people who have received British education since childhood "lost". This usage means contempt, which means that this China person has forgotten his ancestors several times or is not like China people. In addition, the local Minnan people also have an idiom called' Three generations become dead'. According to this definition, all the third-generation Chinese born in Malaysia have also become dead, but this sentence does not contain contempt, only that the third-generation Chinese, because they have adapted to the local social environment, inevitably have local colors.

In addition, Chan Chan also refers to a group of Chinese who call themselves Chan Chan, that is, Malacca and Penang before Malaysia's independence and Chan Chan Chinese in Singapore today speak Malay, and they also call themselves native Chinese.

In the Malay Peninsula in the19th century, this difference was obvious and important. "chan chan" is a local and "new guest" is an immigrant. Their living habits and political consciousness are different. Although most Chinese in Malaysia today are native-born, the word "native Chinese" has become a special self-address of "lonely people".

In today's Malaysia, a Malaysian Chinese married a Malay, and their son is not a mother-in-law, but a hybrid. Zen Mother's Day is a special ethnic group. (* Special note: When Malaysian Chinese marry/marry any Malay, they must use Arabic names, such as Bin Abdullah, to convert to Islam. )

Nyonya culture is influenced by Malay culture (such as diet, clothing and language) and China tradition (such as belief, name and ethnic identity), forming a unique comprehensive culture. It is worth mentioning that the uniform worn by the stewardess of Singapore Airlines is baju kebaya of Nyonya Women's Wear, and the beaded slippers on her feet are Kasut Manek of Nyonya Women's Wear.
