Malaysian people right now have united no matter what races, color, language. In Malaysia, we are one now. Every traditions and culture of each races has blend in together and making Malaysia a colourful, beautiful and a very unique country.

Along with modernization, Malay people are now opened to outside influence and able to fuse it into the existent culture to make it more beautiful and unique.. The changes in Malaysia has made this country is the first country to have variety of races and much more unique elements that make Malaysia a place for everyone.

Although, Malaysia accepts changes from outside, the culture and traditions are still preserved to make sure our ancestors customs are not being forget. As a Malaysian it is a must that we protect our culture and make Malaysian a respectable country.

Hi again guys.. Since I have been writing about the two BIGGEST races in Malaysia, I will be continuing writing on Chinese people and its origin..

Chinese people has been resided in Malaysia since the reign of Malacca where Puteri Hang Li Po were married to Sultan Mansur Shah in the year of 1456-1477. That is when Chinese people were doing trading business with Malacca. So this is how the story goes on..

  

History

The Chinese in Malaysia is the second largest community in the country. Malaysia and China have political ties and trade since centuries ago. In the Malacca Sultanate, China has served as a protector of Malacca from the threat of Siam. Transfer of Chinese people to Malaysia is because of pressure on the Manchu Dynasty (1644 - 1911) because of the Manchu sovereigns and create dissatisfaction among the people. The arrival of the Chinese in Malaysia is visible on the mid 19th century. Fukien identified were the Manchu government and the rebel closest to Southeast Asia.

A better life in the Land of Malay is also a factor that encouraged the Chinese to migrate to Malaysia. Most Chinese came as laborers and artisans craft. They came alone without the family as they are expected to pay a high conductivity in order to return to China or bring experts to come to the Land of the Malay family. The arrival of the Chinese to Malay Land also indirectly brought in the culture religion and language.

Religion held by the Chinese is Buddhism. However, Taoisma and Konfuciunisme doctrine is also important to the people of China.

The main theme in the teachings of Konfuciunisme is "preservation of the state and the preservation of the family" or the word is "Hao". It is clearly seen than some of the celebrations that are eternal so today namely Ching Meng. As they are very concerned with the Konfuciunisme Hao, it is important to get children to become family heirlooms. Marriage is encouraged so that they can have a legal child.

Taosima is refer to "Tao" which means "way" or "Principle" namely road to the form. Instead of "Tao" form the two principles of "Yin" and "Yang".

In the teachings of Taoism, however, it is believed that free man may be a god after death as he dies followed the true path of life before death.

Buddhism also brought by Gautama Buddha of India. The principle of Buddhism is the world's misery in life caused by ignorance in the wrong thoughts and wrong actions. To circumvent, however, humans must eliminate desire and make a glorious order to achieve what the Buddha as Nirvana. Humans must extinguish desire and the extinction victorious if only to make so it will be free from ignorance and attain happiness. Buddhism also touched the "cycle of life" namely humans will continue to death and birth before.

As chinese people evolved, they also practice a mix marriage.

As they are really hold their belief and customs, makes Chinese people has the most unique way of traditions. This shows that Chinese people is strongly preserve their culture and traditions. Till now, they are still hold onto their belief and traditions.
