Mindmap

This mindmap is an attempt to consolidate myths, folklores, superstitions, symbolisms and colloquial slangs related to animals, plants, objects and deities familiar to many Chinese Peranakan households. Derived from both published sources and hearsay, this extensive and playful map encourages viewers to mull over, evaluate and extract truth from fiction. Just as importantly, it stirs viewers towards further speculation and imagination.
