Drama evaluation

Little nyonya contains a strong flavor of South Asia in the 20th century. Compared with the old version, the play enlarges the food part of the play and shows a variety of Niangjia dishes, such as Niangjia braised chicken, longan tea and Acha tea. , are very representative foods in Nyonya cuisine. And the costumes and eating habits of the characters in the play, as well as the weddings and funerals of the Chen family, can also see a lot of China culture.

The legend of the play is also close to dog blood. A typical example is that the face of the characters in the play is highly facial, the heroine is the embodiment of truth, goodness and beauty, and the bad of several vicious female companions is written on the face, leaving only pure bad. The new version of little nyonya objectively shows the "dross" in Nyonya culture, and at the same time makes up for the criticism through lines. This is not the original.
