Chinese Feng Goes South: the Beliefs and Society of the Chinese in Malaysia
by Song Yanpeng
About This Novel
Malaysia is located on the Strait of Malacca, an important node of the "Maritime Silk Road", and is also an important settlement area for overseas Chinese. Chinese account for a relatively large proportion of the local population. Beginning in the 17th century, Chinese people moved south to the Malay Peninsula to make a living. After more than 200 years of migration, the Chinese society in Malaysia that we see today has been shaped. This book conducts special case studies on Kek Lok Si and the early Chinese society in Penang, the shaping of the Fujian community in Penang, Chinese religion and gang structure in Perak, and mainland China's recognition of the Singapore and Malaysia regions in modern times. It also explains the methodology of Malaysian Chinese historical research and field work using the guild hall as an example. It has important academic significance in promoting research in related fields in China.
