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 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 for the daughter born after the marriage between Chinese and local people in Malacca. A large part of feudal thought in Nyonya culture is the bondage to women. Anyone who has watched the TV series "little nyonya" knows that nuns have to learn cooking and needlework since childhood, so they can't go out and 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 now the Nyonya culture still exists, but it is not really 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 cuisine for everyone today. Nyangra cuisine is a new kind of cuisine which is produced by the combination of China cuisine and Malay cuisine. Every family has its own recipe and secret recipe, and this secret recipe is passed down from generation to generation only by word of mouth.
Niangjia cuisine has a variety of flavors, such as sweet and sour, slightly spicy and spicy, and has its own unique views on spices and sauces. In addition to the taste of the ingredients themselves, the layering of various spices can also be clearly tasted. Nyangka cuisine is still a local specialty in 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 also constantly changing itself in this process. As long as people are still there, culture is still there.
