这是刚出炉的马来西亚文史研究半年刊，封面照片对很多人来说应该面善吧。。对，这是马六甲书法城，配合2012年马来西亚全国华人文化节而诞生，当时节目总策划——曾昭智先生在这期刊述说来龙去脉，得来不易。

这期的专题是由陈玉雯撰写的＇醒狮出平阳——马来西亚狮艺的复兴与拓展＇。我国的舞狮在国际上享有名誉，提起舞狮，必会想到本土狮艺的推手萧斐弘师父。萧师父特别注重道德与纪律 他强调唯有良好的品德，才能让根基更扎实，狮艺之路才能走得更稳更远。1986年他开始提倡舞狮“八德”教育，即忠、正、毅、勇、智、诚、和、礼，并积极推广甚至传杨国际。

你知道吗。。。八十年代舞狮在本地是受管制的。据七十年代末开始参与舞狮活动的周福照先生忆述，“当年申请农历新年舞狮贺岁准证，表演地点牵涉到的每一条街道都须要各别向所在地区的警局申请一张准证，所以每次出去采青贺岁，手上都得携带一大堆的准证。。。。”

除此之外，还有多篇由本地学者及在籍学生的文章。这是本地难得的作品，要多多支持。售价一本 RM12（免平邮邮费）。
