长久以来，研究新加坡文史受限于资料不全、查询不易等原因，形成了一些谬误。随着近年来新加坡史料的整理公开和数码化，作者衣若芬从浩瀚的史料中发现前人罕知的新加坡面貌。
从19世纪末到2019年，历经新加坡开埠、独立建国，到迎来庆祝金禧、响应中国五四运动一百周年，衣若芬以“文图学”的观点，带你去阅览新加坡国家图书馆最早的汉字书籍、鸦片贸易和拒毒倡导、海外第一份中医刊物；去会见中国五四运动中的新加坡人；去探析新加坡的珍贵藏画；去欣赏新加坡电影。七篇故事展示在七个虚拟展厅，导览读者徜徉充满创意的星洲风景，品尝新加坡的原汁原味。
原来新加坡，如此精彩！只待你去深度挖掘。
"Creative Nanyang: Text, Media, Image Singapore" is my second book on the analysis of Singapore's literature, history, and art after "Gorgeous Nanyang: Arts, Advertisements, Crossover Singapore ". The first book is honored to receive publication funding from the NAC. Published in 2016, it soon appeared on the bestseller list of Singapore bookstores, and was selected as one of the best books in Lianhe Zaobao, the first edition is almost sold out.
Some of the material information and research methodology pointed out in the book not only guided my students in identifying the direction of their academic research, but also inspired more fellow researchers globally to get to know Singapore from a new perspective.
Research on Singapore in the past was limited by incomplete historical data or difficult inquiries, making it unfavorable for execution. In recent years, public and private institutions have successively compiled public and digital historical materials, which greatly facilitated researchers' work. However, with the massive amount of easily accessible materials, appropriate research methodology is essential in addressing the problem of how to understand Singapore. Based on years of experience in studying the intertextuality and cross-media of text and images, I proposed the term "Text and Image Studies" in 2014. It integrates disciplines such as literature, art, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science, and is especially suitable for discussing multimedia or cross-media cultural production that did not receive much attention in academia in the past, such as the publication, advertisements, colophons, movies, etc., involved in this book.
The scope of this book with seven chapters covers the end of the 19th century to 2019, through Singapore’s opening as a port and the establishment as an independent nation, to the celebration of the Golden Jubilee and the 100th anniversary of China's May Fourth Movement, much expansive than the first book.
To summarize, the purpose of this book lies in the word "creative". It is generally believed that the culture of Singapore is barren, and most of it relies on foreign inputs. In fact, if we dive deep into historical and cultural heritage, meaningful resources exist beyond the Singapore Botanic Gardens and hawker culture listed in the UNESCO, though much forgotten and neglected.
