The Rise And Decline Of Malaysia "BabaNyonya" Ethnic: The Enlightenment Of A Chinese Ethnic's Rise And Fall

Thanks to the worship of "Nyonya style" in the mainland and Southeast Asia,I happened to raise the interested in Baba Nyonya ethnic. After searching for the information of Baba Nyonya ethnic, I found that they are all same, having little analysis, many people are very baffle about the ethnic. There are so many items in Singapore such as "Nyonya dishes", "Nyonya loaded", "Baba ancestral tourism", and also won a series of domestic and foreign tourists curiosity, more people have become known of the "Bali Baba Nyonya " ethnic. Because of the closely related to the Chinese, a lot of Chinese people showed great concern on the ethnic, and set off a Nyonya fashion. However, it's not sufficient to understand the whole ethnic only buy the history of "Zheng He", "Nyonya cuisine", "Nyonya equipment" and other words. As the Chinese population in a particular ethnic, Baba Nyonya Chinese population and mainland China are inextricably linked. Why the persons Who was born in a foreign country worship the Chinese culture? Why did the whole ethnic have the glory? How is like Behind the glory? Looking at the data, there is little document about it. Baba Nyonya is always such a single point of the domestic or foreign study of the Baba Nyonya cultural, there is no strict logical to support the system. Researchers are almostly limited to the range of Southeast Asian such as Malaysia and Singapore which have little traces of Baba Nyonya.The generation of an ethnic group must be social and historical, although Baba Nyonya family has now hard to find, this article will provide an idea of ethnic studies and development of other ethnic groups depending on the study of the scholars, adding personal point of view, using literature as the main method.The whole article is based on rise, decline, and revelation to illustrate the trilogy. For the rise of ethnic groups, the author intended to illustrate two aspects of social stratification. Anything depends on the background of this era, especiallythe Baba Nyonya ethnic. The author intended to discuss the contribution of era by commercial, cultural and large-scale immigration. And then, the another will use Weber's theory of social stratification:wealth, power, prestige the formation, to discuss the formation of Baba Nyonya ethnic.Moving on to the "fall", it is inseparable that the analysis also depends on the era and itself. First of all, the author use the Japanese, British colonial, the impact of modern culture, political mission, and several other important history to reveal the factors of the fall of the Baba Nyonya ethnic. The Baba Nyonya groups also have there own reasons that accelerated the decline phase of the ethnic as a inter aspect. The author discussed the necessity and self-induced necessity of the marginalization of ethnic, It can be said that the Baba Nyonya ethnic created this group, and made the group so brilliant for a period of time, but also they" build a tower about to collapse", so as to the fall occur in so short time, even the "thin dead camel" are not "bigger than a horse".In the end of the article is the most essential part, the author gave the Baba Nyonya analysis a summary and inspiration. After thoroughly analyzing the Baba Nyonya populations rise and fall, the author believes that the three inspiration is enough for today's ethnics:first, the need for ethnic cultures; second, the same faith with the religious marriage; third identity and belonging of members. Taking the history as the example is the wise to prevent the precious cultural of ethnics from disappear.
