Chinatown Heritage Centre
The Chinatown Heritage Centre at 28 Pagoda Street occupies three shophouses in Chinatown, newly restored to house memories and untold stories of Singapore’s early forefathers.
（ Note: A few units to the right of Heritage Centre were the Coolie Quarters which occupied the upper floors of two units. There were where hard work labourers, coolies who, after the Opium War, sold themselves as slaves from China, were housed after they came ashore, according to my father's memory. )

Dialect has made Singapore Chinese culture rich and colourful, but it is at risk of dying out
I HAD the privilege of growing up speaking English, Mandarin and dialect. However, dialect (meaning spoken Chinese or fangyan) is at risk of dying out and little is done to conserve and promote this integral part of local Chinese ethnicity.
If conservation of historical sites is given immense support because they are important to local culture, more should be done for dialect. Dialect has profoundly influenced local Chinese culture in numerous ways. From our dialect-inspired dishes to native lingo, dialect has made Singapore Chinese culture so rich and colourful.
As a mother, I am concerned that the global blah of TV, fast food, Internet and so on is diluting the appreciation of our roots. The local situation is worsened with increasingly more children raised by foreign maids. Local children are sent to countless enrichment classes for advancement, but given little time to learn their cultural heritage. We cannot stop modernisation, yet it is eroding local Chinese ethnicity rapidly. Many minority dialects here have dwindled or are already completely lost.
Beyond teaching our children intellectual cultural knowledge, simple dialect-speaking helps identify one’s roots immediately. Dialect is fundamental to Chinese heritage. When I started speaking dialect to my daughter, she instinctively connected herself to our family roots. Previously, our cultural roots were just ‘head knowledge’ to her. Now, she is proud that her father is Hainanese and her mother is Cantonese. She appreciates how fascinating her family history is.
Dialect links us to our roots. Many young local Chinese do not know, or even care, which dialect group they belong to. We should still use English and Mandarin language, but dialect-speaking should not be forgotten in the process. Many Chinese do not communicate in dialect to their young anymore. If something is not done to promote dialect, local Chinese culture will have little profundity eventually.
Dialect is a beautiful aspect of Chinese culture. It is not a language for the ‘old’ or ‘uncouth’. The next generation needs to see the value of dialect - it delves into our roots and reveals a bigger picture of ourselves.
Can dialect survive by itself in Singapore? Like environmental conservation, more must be done before it is too late. Everyone has a part to play. Perhaps because we are a majority ethnic group, we think dialect will thrive naturally. Unfortunately, it will not. We do not want to wait till the last breathe of dialect is spoken to realise what is authentic to us is truly lost.

廣府話又叫廣州話、省城話、白話等。佢個名就講明佢係來自廣東省城廣州。因為佢係廣東省城，政治經濟都有特殊地位，所以有啲人會認為佢係粵語嘅標準音。廣府話流行響廣州、香港、澳門，珠三角等嘅廣府地區、清遠都有一部份人講廣府話。因為有佢響廣東有特殊地位，唔少人直情叫佢做粵語，廣東話。之不過，呢個叫法同學術上定義唔同，廣東話有好多分支，好似臺山話咁。而廣東又唔只係有粵語，有潮州話，客家話等等。
不過唔係冚廣州地方講嘅話都係廣府話，以前淨係省城部份係講標準嘅廣府話，出咗城就有差異。後尾英國人響香港起城，香港同廣州有好多商貿來往，廣府話就慢慢代替咗當地粵語分支。而自鴉片戰爭之後，有好多珠江三角洲嘅人來回廣州，香港做嘢。因為咁，廣府話以佢嘅影響力，佢個範圍就擴大好多。另外，廣府地區（粵語粵海片)、韶關、清遠、粵語非廣府地區（粵西）有部分後生仔都識講廣州話，有啲甚至攞廣府話嚟代替自己原有嘅方言作為母語。香港電視，流行曲呢類廣府話流行文化亦加速廣府話擴散。

Standard Cantonese
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Standard Cantonese is a variant of Cantonese (Yue) Chinese . It is spoken natively in and around the cities of Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau in Southern China. Standard Cantonese is the de facto official Chinese spoken language of Hong Kong and Macau, and a lingua franca of Guangdong province and some neighbouring areas. It is also spoken by many overseas Chinese of Guangdong, Hong Kong or Macau origin in Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, United States, Australia, Europe and elsewhere. Historically, Cantonese was the most common form of Chinese spoken by overseas Chinese communities in the Western world, although that situation has changed with the increasing importance of Mandarin in the Chinese-speaking world as well as immigration to the West from other countries as well as other parts of China.
In popular speech, Standard Cantonese is often known simply as Cantonese, though in academic linguistics the name can also refer to the broader category to which it belongs, Cantonese language (traditional Chinese: 粵語; simplified Chinese: 粤语; pinyin: Yuèyǔ; Jyutping: Jyut6jyu5). Standard Cantonese is also known popularly as Guangdong speech (traditional Chinese: 廣東話; simplified Chinese: 广东话; pinyin: Guǎngdōng huà; Jyutping: Gwong2dong1 Wa2) or as the Canton Prefecture speech (traditional Chinese: 廣州話、廣府話; simplified Chinese: 广州话、广府话; pinyin: Guǎngzhōu huà, Guángfǔ huà; Jyutping: Gwong2zau1 Wa2, Gwong2fu2 Wa2). In Mainland China, the Standard Cantonese is called Clear Language (traditional Chinese: 白 話; pinyin: bai huà; Jyutping: baak6 Wa2). But outside of Mainland China, Standard Cantonese is simply called Guangdong speech.

My Birth Place and some childhood neighbourhoods in Singapore : 回忆我在新加坡出生和成长的地方
Your host: a second-generation Chinese was born in 1946 at a clinic, along South Bridge Road in Chinatown ( opposite the Maxwell Rd Market, Fairfield Methodist Church )the site now occupied by Buddha Tooth Relic Museum ( at the right side in picture),in Singapore.
First home was inside a three-storey tenetment( shared by many families ) at Neil Road (Chinese: 尼路), towards the junction of Craig Road (the Crocodile House). The building, still existing and designated for conservation , had originally a water well and also an air well ( for direct natural ventrilation by fresh air, for receiving sunshine and rain ). This is where I stayed until about 3 years old. The top picture is the partly demolished gateway to the front entrance of New World Amusement （facing Jalan Besar）, where my late-father worked as the Studio Manager. I lived in the Studio, on top of the table at the work place, where I stayed from 3 to 6 years old. The second picture shows the rear entrance,the other gateway to New World Amusement Park,at the junction of Kitchener Road and Serangoon Road.
The centre of this picture shows a three-storey building at Teck Lim Road, where father and myself( then 18 to 35 years old ) were actively doing community work for an association.

Famous Singapore-style Cantonese Raw Fish Salad to celebrate New Year.
Yusheng or yee sang (simplified Chinese: 鱼生; pinyin: yúshēng) is a Chinese-style raw fish salad. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. Literally translated, "yusheng" means "raw fish", though it can also be taken to symbolise abundance, prosperity and vigor.The delicacy was invented 1,500 years ago in southern Chinese coastal areas such as Chaozhou and Shantou, during the Song Dynasty. According to legend, a Chinese female deity known as Nǚwō (女娲) created mankind from clay and mud on the seventh day of the first month of the Lunar New Year. From then on, this day was known as the "Birthday of Man". It is believed that the fishermen and seafarers of ancient Southern China were very observant of this myth. On this day, yusheng would be prepared in feasts or religious ceremonies, not just to commemorate the event but also to show respect to Nüwa. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many of these fishermen immigrated to Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore in search of a better life. They brought this traditional dish along with them. Yu Sang originated in Kuala Lumpur as far back as in the early 1950s. It was a dish available only after the Chinese New Year when the restaurants reopened, and diners had the dish as a starter,to raise 'good luck' for the coming year.This dish was then adopted in time throughout the then Malaya as it was evident that it was popular and for the restaurants, a very profitable dish despite the labour intensiveness of chopping and slicing the ingredients. With the advent of electrical devices, preparation was made easier but purists in Kuala Lumpur still only frequented restaurants that prepared the ingredients by hand.In 1964, yusheng began to be associated with Chinese New Year (CNY) festivities in restaurants in Singapore. Mr. Tham Mui Kai, the head chef at Lai Wah Restaurant of Singapore, offered this unique CNY dish that combined raw slices of a local fish with a melange of ingredients including shredded carrots, turnips, ginger and jellyfish. In addition, he pioneered the idea of pre-mixing the yusheng sauce in a mix of plum sauce, salt and pepper before serving the dish. Soon after, other restaurants and eateries in Singapore and Hong Kong adopted this practice.
Now, in the 21st century, "Lo Hei" -- tossing yusheng -- is a Singaporean/Malaysian Chinese New Year custom for families and friends to gather around the table and, on cue, proceeding to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying 吉祥话 (Jíxiáng Huà, auspicious wishes) out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year.
Typical ingredients include: fresh salmon, daikon (white radish), carrot, red pepper (capsicum), ginger, daun limau nipis, Chinese parsley, chopped peanuts, toasted sesame seeds, Chinese shrimp crackers (or fried dried shrimp), five spice powder. The dressing is made primarily from plum sauce. ( Source: Wikipedia)
Guan Yin, The Bodhisattva for Great Compassion (Goddess of Mercy)
Widely venerated by East Asian Buddhists, the Goddess presence is found in Nanhai, Donggang, Hong Kong, Japan and Vietnam.
Guan Yin is the bodhisattva of compassion as venerated by East Asian Buddhists, usually as a female. She is also known as the Chinese Bodhisattva of Compassion.
It is generally accepted that Guanyin originated as the Sanskrit Avalokiteśvara (अवलोकितेश्वर), which is her male form. Another version suggests she originated from the Taoist Immortal "Ci Hang Zhen Ren" (慈航真人). Commonly known in the West as the Goddess of Mercy, Guanyin is also revered by Chinese Taoists as an Immortal. The name Guanyin, also spelt Kuan Yin, is short for Kuan-shih Yin (Py.: Guānshì Yīn, 觀世音) which means "Observing the Sounds (or Cries) of the World".
In Japanese, Guanyin is pronounced Kannon (観音) or more formally Kanzeon (観世音); the spelling Kwannon, based on a pre-modern pronunciation, is sometimes seen. In Korean, the Bodhisattva is called Gwan-eum (관음) or Gwanse-eum (관세음), In Thai, the name is called Kuan Eim (กวนอิม) or Prah Mae Kuan Eim (พระแม่กวนอิม), and in Vietnamese, the name is Quan Âm or Quan Thế Âm Bồ Tát.
関羽, 関帝 （関二哥）Among Cantonese, the most commonly revered Guan Yu, General from the Three Kingdoms Period
關羽（？－219年），約生於東漢桓帝年間，字雲長，本字長生，河東解縣人（今山西運城市）。東漢末年劉備的重要將領，死後受民間推崇，又經歷代朝廷褒封，被人奉為關聖帝君，簡稱關帝君、關帝。佛教界一般奉其為護法神之一，稱為伽藍菩薩。民間普遍認為關羽與劉備、張飛是結義兄弟，關羽排行第二，俗稱其為關老爺、關二爺、關二哥等等。( source: wikipedia )

Nanhai Muncipal District 南海县区 (Foshan, Guangzhou, PRC)
"Nanhai District (Chinese: 南海区; pinyin: Nánhǎi Qū) is a district of Foshan prefecture-level city, in Guangdong province, southern China.Nanhai District of Foshan City is located in the center of Guangdong Province, at the heart of Pearl River Delta. It surrounds another Foshan district ---Chancheng District. It is only ten kilometers away from Guangzhou and is near Hong Kong and Macao. The environment of Nanhai District is richly endowed by nature. It has long been a land of plenty and the hometown for overseas Chinese.
Nanhai has a long history and deep cultural foundations. 6,000 years ago, it gave birth to the Xiqiao Culture of the New Stone Age. In the 33rd year of Qin Dynasty (214 B.C), Nanhai Commandry was established; in the 10th year of Sui Dynasty, it was changed into Nanhai County. For thousands of years, Nanhai people have been working industriously and they have created a splendid civilization. Its agriculture, handicraft industry and commerce have been prosperous for generations. Nanhai has also produced numerous famous citizens such as Youwei--the leader of the Constitutional Reform of 1898; Chen Qiyuan?aa patriot returned overseas Chinese businessman; Zhan Tianyou?aan outstanding railway engineer; Zou Boqi?aa famous scholar and a national industrialist; Wong Feihung--a master of Chinese Kongfu and expert in fast kicking.
Under the motto of dare to be the first, Nanhai people took the lead in initiating economic reform, in developing a market economy and in searching for ways to integrate into the international market in 1978. Nanhais progress has been outstanding and has become one of the four little dragons in Guangdong.
The tranquil and exquisite scenery of Nanhai is not only of enchanting beauty, but is also culturally rich. Modern technology and the information industry have assisted in promoting the Nanhai journey in the global village.
Nanhai District has 4 tourist resorts, Xiqiao Mountain, Golden Lake Resort, West Bank Tourist Resort and Nan Guo Peach Garden. It also has a number of ecological scenic spots like Huangji Egrets Paradise and Sangji Fish Pond. There, the mountain is green; the water is clear and the meadows are green and lavish. This together with the blue sky, result in a comforting ecological environment. Nanhai has become a promised land and tourist paradise where people from Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao come to spend their holidays.
In addition to its 6,000-year-old Neolithic stone implement site, Nanhai is the former residence of several famous people such as Kang Youwei, Chen Qiyuan and Wong Feihung. The cultures of South Chinese Boxing, Lion Dancing and the customs of Nanhai have become an attraction for numerous tourists.
Its thousand-year-old history and culture combined with its present charm has developed Nanhai into the jewel that it currently is.

Sun Yat Sen 孫中山
Dr. Sun Yat-sen (Traditional Chinese: 孫中山; Pinyin: Sūn Zhōngshān; or "Sun Yixian"; Pinyin: Sūn Yìxiān) (November 12, 1866 – March 12, 1925) was a Chinese revolutionary and political leader often referred to as the "father of modern China". Sun played an instrumental role in the eventual collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911. He was the first provisional president when the Republic of China (ROC) was founded in 1912 and later co-founded the Kuomintang (KMT) where he served as its first leader. Sun was a uniting figure in post-Imperial China, and remains unique among 20th-century Chinese politicians for being widely revered in both Mainland China and in Taiwan.
孫文（1866年11月12日－1925年3月12日），字載之，號逸仙，廣東省香山縣（今中山市）人，是近代中國的民主革命家，第一任中華民國臨時大總統，中國國民黨總理，亦為中華民國國父；孫文流亡日本時曾化名中山樵，故後人慣以中山先生相稱；而其離世後此稱謂便逐漸演化成具體的尊稱孫中山先生，或直呼為孫中山。
1940年（民國二十九年），中華民國國民政府通令全國，讚揚孫氏「倡導國民革命，手創中華民國，更新政體，永奠邦基，謀世界之大同，求國際之平等」，尊稱其為「中華民國國父」。孫文被中國國民黨尊為「永遠的總理」；中國共產黨則稱他為「偉大的革命先行者」。在中國大陸也有人稱他為「現代中國之父」，而民間普遍稱他為「中國國父」。

LU, WEN-CHENG (1898 - 1981)
呂文成（1898.3.12-1981.8.22）是20世紀20年代以來廣東音樂最卓越的作曲家和演奏家,也是廣東曲藝、粵曲的出色演唱家和革新家。他把畢生的精力，投入廣東音樂的發展事業中，為廣東音樂傳播國內外，成為我國獨樹一幟、蜚聲樂壇的樂種，作出了傑出的貢獻。
呂文成先生于清朝光緒24年（1898年）3月12日，出生於廣東省中山縣，幼年隨父親到上海謀生，在銀匠店當過童工。到了十歲，才免費就讀於廣肇義學，並利用課餘時間，開始了他的音樂生活。由於他從小就酷愛我國民間音樂，常常聆聽老藝人的演奏，勤學苦練，自學成才，不到20歲，就已很有名氣。
1919年，上海成立了“中華音樂會”，該會以研究音樂、陶冶性靈、提倡美感教育、養成高尚人格為宗旨，呂文成是最早的會員之一。1925年擔任該會滬樂科幹事，同時他兼任上海精武體育會音樂部教員，還參加了由上海鐵路職工組織的“儉德儲蓄會”粵樂隊的活動，並擔任指導。
呂氏一生創作了兩百多首音樂作品，其中不少廣東音樂曲調成為百聽不厭、膾炙人口、流傳不衰的佳作。他的作品題材廣泛，其中有寫景抒情的《平湖秋月》、《蕉石鳴琴》、《漁歌晚唱》；有情緒輕鬆活潑向上的《青梅竹馬》、《醒獅》、《步步高》；有描寫民間故事的《銀河會》、《天女散花》、《歧山鳳》；有反映民間習俗的《二龍爭珠》、《獅子上樓臺》、《鸚鵡戲麒麟》；有反映民族覺醒精神的《恨東皇》、《齊破陣》、《泣長城》等等。他的創作，結構嚴謹，曲調清新，旋律優美流暢，委婉動聽，節奏生動活潑，熱情奔放，富有鮮明的個性和風格。
呂氏是公認的技藝高超的二胡演奏家，他進行了大膽的革新，把二胡外弦由絲弦換為鋼弦，並採用了兩腿夾持琴筒的演奏方法，成功地製成了高音二胡（簡稱高胡），在音色、音量和音域等方面作了很大的改進，並運用了二、三把位走指法和獨特的滑指法，使高胡成為廣東音樂良佳的獨奏樂器，促進了廣東音樂演奏形式的發展，因而被譽為“二胡博士”。
“一·二八事件”發生後，呂氏離開上海，到香港定居。居港期間，為香港“新月”、“和聲”、“歌林”唱片公司聘請為固定藝員，長期從事灌制廣東音樂、粵曲唱片工作和樂曲創作，並為“高亨”、“百代”、“勝利”等公司錄製唱片。據不完全統計，各大唱片公司所灌錄的，由他演奏和演唱的樂曲和粵曲，就有270多張。
1981年8月22日，呂文成先生年高體弱，積勞成疾，在香港病逝，享年八十三歲。
呂文成先生熱愛祖國，熱愛民族音樂，堅持走發展民族音樂的道路，既重視傳統，又大膽吸收外國音樂精華，其作品數量之多，品質之高，影響之大，在廣東音樂史上可說是空前的，不愧是我國樂壇上的一位傑出的民族音樂家，他的名字，將永遠伴隨著廣東音樂而流芳千古。
