A one-stop online repository for Singapore Chinese culture was launched by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) on July 25.
Culturepaedia (culturepaedia. singaporeccc.org.sg) is a free-access platform of curated content that aims to be the go-to source of information on Singapore Chinese culture.
All articles are in Chinese and English, and organised into eight main categories: communities, language and education, popular culture and media, social practices, literature, art, music, and stage performances.
There are suggested further readings, internet links to other cultural websites, relevant videos and audio clips for each topic.
Culturepaedia is helmed by SCCC's research unit, which was set up in October 2022. So far, about 80 experts have contributed close to 150 articles for the platform.
Among the articles is one about how the Cultural Revolution in China in the mid- to late 1960s prevented music scores from being brought into Singapore. So, many early Chinese orchestra musicians here learnt to perform by listening to records and imitating them, building a solid foundation for Singapore's Chinese orchestra music.
