Acculturation is the process of acceptance of cultural elements between individuals or groups from other different cultures. A group of communities with a certain culture that are exposed to foreign elements are finally accepted and adapted to their own culture. The example of the acculturation can be found at the Tengkera Mosque located in Melaka. The long process of acculturation illustrates the relationship between the Chinese minority and the Malay community has been firmly established. Chinese people emigrated to Melaka in the 15th century. They brought their customs and culture and this was introduced to the Muslim Malay community. The introducing of the Chinese culture has led to the acceptance of the Muslim community in Melaka. This study aims to identify the background or history of Chinese migration in Melaka. The research was also carried out to study the types of Chinese art and culture that have been mixed as decorations in the Tengkera mosque. The research is qualitative in its form and to solve it, researchers used observation methods to study the types of Chinese art and culture in this mosque. The results of the study found that the Tengkera Mosque shows the influence of Chinese culture in terms of decorative patterns and symbols on the components of the mosque and each of these symbols has its own meaning according to Chinese philosophy.
