IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL INTEGRATION: THE DEVELOPMENT STATUS AND REASONS OF DIVERSE CULTURE IN MALAYSIA —— TAKE MAHUA CULTURE AS AN EXAMPLE

Abstract

After the end of the Second World War, the multicultural policies of developed Western countries have generally adopted a policy of cross-fertilization of assimilation, pluralism and integration in response to their respective national conditions. Based on the study of the development of multicultural integration in developed Western countries, this paper examines the current situation of multicultural development in Malaysia and explores the reasons for it from the perspective of cultural integration.  As one of the Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia has had close exchanges with China since ancient times, and the Chinese are also an important force in the modernization of their country. Therefore, this paper applies the literature research method to explore the manifestation of multicultural integration in Malaysia by taking the  phenomenon  of  Malaysian  localization of the Malaysian-Chinese  culture  as  an  example,  and  further  explores  the historical reasons for the formation of the phenomenon of multicultural integration in Malaysia, and discusses the history of the exchanges of the two ethnic groups, the Malaysian-Chinese, from the ancient times to the modern times, and from the trade to the emigration.
