History of baduy's people

baduy's people
 

        Kanekes or  Baduy’s people  are a group of culture peoples in the region Sundanese Lebak, Banten. The term "Baduy" is the name given by people outside the community, the term originated from the Dutch researchers who seem to equate them with a group of Arab Badawi who is sedentary societies (nomadic).Another possibility is due to the River and Mount Baduy. baduy in the northern part of the region. They themselves prefer to call themselves as urang Kanekes or "people Kanekes" in accordance with the name of their territory, or a designation that refers to the name of their village as Urang Cibeo (Garna, 1993)

The language they use is a dialect of Sundanese-Banten. To communicate with people outside their current use Indonesian language, although they do not get that knowledge from the school. Kanekes’s people 'in' do not know the culture of writing, so that the customs, belief / religion, and the story of ancestors stored only in oral speech only.

According to the beliefs they hold, the person claiming descent from Batara Kanekes roots, one of the seven gods or a god who is sent to earth. The origin is often attributed to the Prophet Adam as the first ancestor. According to their belief, Adam and his descendants, including the resident has the task to be imprisoned or Kanekes ascetic (mandita) to maintain the harmony of the world
Opinions regarding the origin of the different Kanekes opinion among the historians, who based his opinion by the synthesis of some historical evidence in the form of inscriptions, travelogues Portuguese and Chinese sailors, and folktales about the 'Tatar Sunda' which is quite minimal existence. Kanekes communities associated with the Sunda Kingdom before its collapse in the 16th century centered on Pakuan Pajajaran (around Bogor now). Before the founding of the Sultan of Banten, the western tip of Java island is an important part of the Kingdom of Sunda. Banten is a fairly large trading port. Ciujung rivers are navigable various types of boats, and crowded is used to transport agricultural products from rural areas. Thus the ruler of the region, known as Prince shoots General considers that the preservation of the river should be maintained. For that govermented royal army of highly trained to maintain and manage the heavily wooded and hilly areas in the region of Mount Kendeng. The existence of a special task forces with the seemingly became the forerunner of Beduy’s society that still inhabit the headwaters on Mount Kendeng Ciujung the (Adimihardja, 2000). Differences of opinion was brought to the allegation that in the past, their historical identity and accidentally closed, which is probably the Beduy’s community to protect itself from attack enemies Pajajaran.

There are other versions of history Baduy tribe, began when Kian Santang prabu siliwangi son came home from arabia after berislam in the hands of Sayyidina Ali.The son wants to Islamize the prabu and his followers. At the end of the story, with 'wangsit siliwangi' which was accepted by the prabu, they objected to Islam, and spread to all corners of Sunda to remain in his conviction. And King Siliwangi chased up to the valley (Baduy now), and hide until abandoned. Then the  prabu was renamed with the new title of King Golden Wungu, which might have changed the title again. And in Baduy dalam. prabu siliwangi enthroned with 40 loyal followers, until later will be civil war between them and us, represented by ki Saih a human form but all over his body and his face covered by feathers Like the ki monyet.dan this Saih presence in we are at the request of the trustees to God to win the truth
Kanekes public trust called the Sunda Wiwitan rooted in the worship of ancestral spirits (animism), which in later development is also influenced by Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. The core belief is indicated by an absolute pikukuh or customary provisions adopted in the daily lives of people Kanekes (Garna, 1993).The most important contents of the 'pikukuh' (compliance) Kanekes is the concept of "without any changes", or a change in as little as possible:
Lojor heunteu beunang dipotong, pendek heunteu beunang di sambung
(The length can not / should not be cut short, can not / should not be spliced)
bjek trust is important for the community Kanekes Arca Domas, an undisclosed location and is considered the most sacred. Kanekes people visit these locations to conduct worship once a year in Kalima, which in 2003 coincided with the month of July. Only puun which is the highest traditional leader and several members of selected communities who follow the cult group. In the complex there is a stone Arca Domas the mortar that holds rainwater
If at the time of worship stone mortar was found to exist in a state full of clear water, then for the people Kanekes it is a sign that the rain that year will be a lot down, and the harvest will be successful either. Conversely, if the stone mortar dry or watery cloudy, then it is a sign of crop failure (Permana, 2003a). For some people, relating to determination their communities, indigenous beliefs held this Kanekes Sundanese people reflect religious beliefs in general before the advent of Islam

IS KARAPAN SAPI FROM MADURA

KARAPAN SAPI IS THE CULTURE FROM MADURA

Kerapan or karapan sapi is one term in the Madurese language which is used to call a race racing cows. There are two versions of the origin of the name kerapan. The first version says that the term "kerapan" comes from the word "often" or "kirap" which means "to depart and released jointly or in droves". Meanwhile, another version says that the word "kerapan" comes from the Arabic "kirabah" which means "friendship". But apart from the two versions, the current common sense, kerapan races is a special attraction for bovine animals. For the record, particularly in the area on the island of Madura Kangean similar races there that use buffalo. Race buffalo is called mamajir and not kerapan buffalo.

The origin of beef kerapan also there are several versions. The first version says that kerapan sapi have been around since the 14th century. At that time kerapan cows used to spread Islam by a kyai named Pratanu. Another version says that the cow was created by Adi kerapan Poday, namely children's ruling Panembahan Wlingi Sapudi area in the 14th century. Adi Poday a long wandering in the Madura brings his experience in the field of agriculture to the island Sapudi, so that agriculture on the island to be developed. One technique to speed up the cultivation of agricultural land which is taught by Adi Polay is to use a cow. Eventually, because of the many farmers who use force cattle to till their fields simultaneously, hence the their intention to compete in the finish. And, finally the race to work on the field it becomes a kind of sport racing race called kerapan sapi.

Various kinds of Kerapan Cow
Kerapan sapi  that characterizes the Madurese is actually composed of several kinds, namely:1. Often Keni (small kerapan)This type Kerapan participants attended only by those who came from one district or kewedanaan only. In this category the distance that must be taken only 110 meters long and is followed by small cows that have not been trained. While decisive victory, in addition to speed, too straight or absence of cattle when running. For the cows that can win the race, can follow a higher kerapan again that is often the king.2. Often the King (kerapan large)The race is often called the country often is generally held in the capital district on Sunday. Racing around the track length of 120 meters and the participants are the champions often Kenite.3. Often Onjangan (kerapan invitation)Often onjangan is a special race that its participants are invited from a district that menyelenggarakannya. Kerapan is usually held to commemorate the great days specified.4. Often Karesidenen (kerapan prefectural level)This is a great Kerapan kerapan followed by frequent champions of the four districts in Madura. Often held in the City residency Pamekasan on Sunday, which is the top event to end the season kerapan.5. Often jar-jaran (kerapan exercise)Kerapan kerapan jar-horse is carried out only to train the cows down on the race before the actual race.Parties Involved in the Games Kerapan CowKerapan cow is one of the many folk games involving various parties, which include: (1) the owner of the cow race, (2) handyman tongko (person in charge of controlling the cow racing on kaleles), (3) handyman Tambeng (people who hold the reins of cows before being released), (4) handyman gettak (people who bully beef so when the cue can be shot quickly), (5) tonja handyman (person in charge of attracting and guiding cows), and (6) handyman gubra (Angora entourage cheered on duty to encourage the cow racing).

The road games
Before starting any cow-kerapan often paraded onto the field. This opportunity is not only used to relax the muscles of cattle, is also an arena to show off the beauty of the garments and ornaments of the cows that will be contested. After the parade finished, clothes and all the trimmings it was opened. Only clothing that does not interfere with the cow's body movements are still left attached.After that, began the first race to determine the standings of participants. As in a football game, in this round the participants will set the strategy to be able to enter pacuannya cows into groups of "top" to the next round (preliminary), can compete with the cow racing from the "bottom".Next is the first preliminary round, second, third and fourth or final round. In this stage, the game wearing knockout. In other words, the cows that have been declared lost race, no longer be eligible to participate in the next round match.Meanwhile, for the cow race is declared the winner, will be confronted again with the winner of another match. And so on until only one player who always wins final and became champion.

Cultural valuesGames kerapan sapi if examined in depth contains the values ​​which in turn can be used as reference in social life. These values ​​are: hard work, cooperation, competition, order and fairness.The value of hard work is reflected in the training process cow, a cow so that it becomes an amazing race (strong and agile). To make a cow like that of course takes patience, perseverance and hard work. Without a cow's impossible complaint can show his prowess in the arena kerapan cows.The value of cooperation is reflected in the game itself. Kerapan cow game, as already mentioned at the top, is an activity that involves many parties. The parties were to each other need each other. To that end, cooperation is required in accordance with the position and role of each. Without it impossible kerapan games can be held with a good cow.

The value of competition is reflected in the arena kerapan cow. Competition by Koentjaraningrat (2003: 187) is the efforts that aim to exceed the efforts of others in society. In this context the participants tried to play kerapan cow cow aduannya such a way that can run fast and beat the opponent cow race as expected. Therefore, each trying to cow can do it best. So, antarpeserta compete in this regard.Order value is reflected in the game itself kerapan cow. Any game, including kerapan cow, order is always required. This order not only shown by the participants, but also the audience that complies with the regulations are made.With the participants patiently waiting for the cows pacuannya posed. Meanwhile, the audience also abide by the rules and regulations. They do not make trouble or deeds which in turn may interfere with or frustrate the course of the game.And, the value of sportsmanship is reflected not only the attitude of the players who do not cheat during the game, but also willing to accept defeat gracefully
