The second artifacts talks about the map in Singapore in colors and the various spellings in the past, eg Pyah Laebar.

Q2 Somber and confusion as there was planning of settlements in Singapore, wills, testament etc. During the Age of Enlightenment, there was rise of new philosophical thinking, as people like Voltaire bring the movement. The middle class can have more access to things used to be only reserved for the wealthy.

Q3 I wish that Singapore was more organized and the friendship between the Dutch and the British could be better. The planning of Singapore and the navigation route could be better.

1. Why did we select these two artifacts?
Source 1: Scribal copy of 1819 treaty of friendship and alliance.
We select this one because It was a treaty of amity in 1819
, In an 1819 treaty of friendship, the sultan agreed to lease land for the British east India company to set up a trade war, and the British east India company agreed to pay an annual fee. The enlightenment was a movement that called for reason, freedom of speech, and the signing of a treaty of amity seemed to mean more peace between the two sides.

Source 2: The Bute map
We select this one because it‘s the earliest known landward map of Singapore. There are many historical sites on the map, as well as many military facilities. It records many precious files of Singapore. It is said that many people are playing in the middle of the pool.

2.Through the guide, I got a sense of some of the developments and achievements of Singapore in the 18th century. Through the first source, Britain and Malaysia jointly managed the land, a balance was struck between the cultures, and became a symbol because the British government was colonizing Singapore

3.Through understanding the historical development of Singapore in the 18th century, I hope the cultural development will be faster and better]]> 2020-03-11 05:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458116836 https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458117189 2020-03-11 06:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458117189 https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458117564 2020-03-11 06:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458117564 Cen Qiushi, Guan Yanci, Zhou Junyan https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458118236 1. Source 1: Carte reduite des detroits de Malaca Sincapour, et du Gouverneur
By Jacques-Nicolas Bellin. Paris 1755
I selected this because it is a map drawn by a hydrographer and drawn with some precision and measurements. The French used maps and atlases to aid navigation. This shows how people in the age of Enlightenment ventured to gain knowledge and understand the world.

Source 2: Da Asia de Joao de Barnos, book in 1777 by Joao de Barnos. I selected this because it contains early history of the Portuguese in India and Asia. It also has translations of languages by the sailors. This shows human explorations for knowledge.

2. Singapore's buildings have moved from the sea to the land and become more stable. The population has been increasing since 1800.

3. In the 19th century, the house moved from the sea to the land. The house is more stable, more convenient and safer on the land!]]> 2020-03-11 06:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458118236 Siak Lee and Sinhui https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458118469 1. Identify 2 sources that connect you to the Age of the Enlightenment.

Mao Kun Map, late 19 century
We select this because this is original map of Singapore and Malaysia, they using stone to identify the place,like longyamen.
b.Source 2
 The Bute Map, circa 1820
In the Bute Map, this is the earliest known landward map of Singapore,  a square part shown that people always bath there.

2. With reference to the tour, describe what events, moods or feelings possibly took place during the 19thcentury?
After the tour, I felt more connected to the history that happen in the past. In the 19th century, there’s different changes from architecture to people. There’s a bigger development in the century. With the new architecture, new buildings, new road development, new transportation, new amenities, it brings convenience to the people. With better education system, people are more educated and well inform by the surrounding information.

3.What is something significant that took place during 19th century, or something you wish would have happened?
I felt the most significant thing is the development of newspaper and the media. It develop from the “toilet paper” style to a newspaper paper work to the digital platform nowadays. This is where the publication company started and start to publish news. This development helps people to get more information from different source of media. It educate the people well from the information they had.

We selected this because it is a very important destination of British trading post in Singapore. It is also interesting as there is a particular area where the Royal Families would go there to take a bath.

The sultan and chief of Singapore could have fought because of the treaty Raffles sign which caused a near war between the Dutch and British. Singaporean’s could have felt mistreated because of how the caucasians treated the asians  as Low class.

Q3.
I wish the Caucasians would treat the asians as equals.

2.  There was a lot of unsettling teasions among the various faction（Dutch、French、English）At that time, Singapore should be divided into regions of different countries.

Source 1: Singapore, Malacca, Java: Reiseskizzen
We chose this artefact because it shows the differences in culture; europeans realising that they cannot do the "asian squat".

We chose this artifact as it is a symbol of peace and collaboration between the different nations, a huge difference compared to the French revolution (ended 1799)

With reference to the tour, what events, moods or feelings possibly took place during the 19th century?
Singapore was undergoing quite a bit of development due to significant changes in its population, as well as leaders in charge.


What is something significant that took place during the 19th century, or something you wish would have happened?

We selected the Anglo-Dutch Treaty as it connects to the Enlightenment ideal of reason, in particular, order, which helps to resolve tension between the colonial powers in Singapore, and helping them to come to a point of agreement and unity

Source 2: Jackson Town Plan, 1828.
We selected the town plan because it connects somewhat to the enlightenment ideal of equality. In the Jackson Town Plan, different ethnic and racial groups are given designated enclaves to congregate in. This reflects some form of regard and standing that the various communities have in the eyes of the British, resulting in the more or less equal distribution of land and thereby indicating a form of social equality.

Q2: Alot of diplomacy took place in the 19th century, possibly implying a greater sense of excitement from what is to come from the newly established international relations. However, there are also tension among colonial powers who want to colonize the land.

Q3. Singapore had undergone massive developments and changes from a small village to the modern society.]]> 2020-03-11 06:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458126817 https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458126861 Michelle and Hong wen]]> 2020-03-11 06:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458126861 MattYi https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458127015 ANGLO-Dutch treaty, monarch version.
London, March 17 1824
I chose this because it represented the interests of Europeans as they explore and colonize to further develop their lands. It is also interesting as the British and Dutch didn't go to war. Also, it's a relief we were not colonized by the Dutch.

 What is something significant that took place during the 19th century, or something you wish would have happened?
I wish that more Europeans would decide to settle in Singapore, bringing in musicians developing the musical scene like they would in the UK. ]]> 2020-03-11 06:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458127015 https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458127026 2020-03-11 06:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458127026 Roi https://padlet.com/NAFA/BTHVN2/wish/458127114 Anglo-Dutch Treaty or Treaty of London (17 March 1824)
