Nyonya refers to China women living in Southeast Asia. These people are generally descendants of China people and local people, and they are descended from two countries. When I was born, I have been living in Malaysia, Singapore and other places. Due to the integration of China culture and local culture, a unique Nyonya culture has been formed.
Nyonya costumes are influenced by China traditional costumes and Malaysian local culture. Developing a gorgeous dress is the best for both companies. Nyonya's clothes are mainly red, but there are also some green and yellow clothes. There will be many decorative patterns with traditional cultural colors on the clothes.

Brief Introduction of TV Series little nyonya
The TV series "little nyonya" tells a series of love-hate stories of Ju Xiang, his daughter Yue Niang, Huang Jia, and Charlie Zhang for decades.
In the 1920s and 1930s, there was a strict family hierarchy in Nanyang at that time, and Nyonya was an early Chinese in China, who came across the ocean to develop in Nanyang, married local indigenous women and gave birth to offspring. Her descendants were called Zen and her men were called Nyonya.
In this cultural blending, little nyonya in the play is just the daughter born in My Concubine because of the distinct family hierarchy. Moreover, the drama also shows the etiquette, status, diet and other cultures of the Empress through some plots, and also shows the different fates of the three generations of Empresses and the cultural changes of Empresses.
The drama tells the indomitable struggle history of a kind woman, Yueniang, mainly by telling the grievances of several generations of a big family and integrating the essence of Niangniang culture during the period. The original "little nyonya" TV series was filmed in Singapore, which scored high and was well received by the audience.
