Abstract

In the existence of a cultured society, of course there are various kinds of customs or traditions that arise due to existing knowledge. Likewise with agricultural societies. Indonesia itself is the largest agricultural country ever in recorded Asian history. Especially in the rice agricultural sector. For hundreds of years, Indonesia has been the largest rice contributing country. Especially in Parahyangan or what we usually call West Java. This Sundanese people have implemented customs in the agricultural sector starting hundreds of years ago. Seren Taun is a traditional ceremony to commemorate harvest day. We can still find this ceremony and preserve it in traditional villages such as Kanekes Baduy Village, Ciptagelar Village in Sukabumi, Cigugur Village in Kuningan and other traditional villages. In this case, it turns out that we can not only find Seren Taun customs in villages or traditional villages, but we can still find them in inland villages. Examples are Bojongsari Village and Sukamaju Village in Nyalindung sub-district, Sukabumi district. The Seren Taun traditional ceremony held in Bojongsari and Sukamaju villages itself has significant differences from the Seren Taun custom in traditional villages. This traditional ceremony has gone through various kinds of acculturation, both in terms of social culture and religion.

Abstract

This research discusses the history of the entry of Islam, the development of Muslim communities, and the challenges faced by Muslim communities in the Indochina region, which includes Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Despite being a minority, the region's Muslim community has a rich history, from the role of the Kingdom of Champa as a center for the spread of Islam to the influence of colonialism and political conflicts, such as the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia and forced assimilation in Vietnam. The methodology used in this study is a qualitative approach with a library research method. Data is collected from a variety of historical sources, such as academic literature, colonial archives, reports of international institutions, and local historical documents related to the development of Islam. The analysis is conducted descriptively and historically to uncover the roles, transformations, and challenges of the Muslim community over time. The results of the study show that the Muslim community in Indochina faces various dynamics, ranging from cultural integration, political pressure, to identity marginalization. This research confirms the importance of preserving Islamic cultural heritage and manuscripts, as well as the need for international support to strengthen Muslim communities as part of social diversity in the Southeast Asian region.

Abstract

In the existence of a cultured society, various customs and traditions emerge as a result of the knowledge available. This also applies to agrarian communities. Indonesia itself is the largest agrarian country ever recorded in Asian history, particularly in the agricultural sector of rice cultivation. For hundreds of years, Indonesia has been one of the largest rice-producing countries, especially in Parahyangan or West Java. The Sundanese people in this region have practiced agrarian customs for centuries. One of the traditions that remains preserved is Seren Taun, a traditional ceremony held to celebrate the harvest. This ceremony is still practiced and maintained in traditional villages such as Kanekes Baduy, Ciptagelar in Sukabumi, Cigugur in Kuningan, and other customary villages. Interestingly, Seren Taun is not only found in traditional villages but can also be observed in remote villages. Examples include Bojongsari and Sukamaju villages in Nyalindung District, Sukabumi Regency, where this tradition is still upheld with distinct characteristics. The Seren Taun ceremony in these villages differs significantly from the version practiced in traditional communities. This ceremony has undergone various forms of acculturation, whether in terms of social culture or religion. With the discovery of the Meteumeuyan Manuscript, which serves as a customary guide or is also called ririmbon panen, this study attempts to reveal the contents of the manuscript. However, with all the traditional rules attached to it, Seren Taun tends to preserve agrarian traditions across generations, ultimately limiting openness to innovation and social change.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the physical structure and content of the Melak Pare manuscript, which documents the agrarian traditions of the Sundanese people within the framework of local and Islamic spirituality. Employing a historical methodology that includes heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, the data were gathered through literature reviews and field research on the original manuscript housed in the Sri Baduga Museum, Bandung. The findings reveal that the manuscript is written in Arabic Pegon script on fragile European paper now preserved with Japanese tissue. The content consists of agricultural mantras and prayers structured around stages of rice farming rituals—from hoeing and seed sowing to planting, maintenance, and harvesting. The inclusion of istighfar, shalawat, and invocations of Dewi Sri (Nyimas Puhaci Sangiyang Sri) demonstrates cultural assimilation between Islam and local beliefs. Symbolic references to cardinal directions, bodily movements, and ritual timing reflect a rich Sundanese agrarian cosmology imbued with spiritual significance. This research contributes to the preservation of local philological heritage, revitalization of agro-spiritual values, and advancement of interdisciplinary approaches to traditional manuscript studies. Contribution: This study contributes to the preservation of local philological heritage by documenting the physical and textual features of the Melak Pare manuscript, revitalizes agro-spiritual values by highlighting the integration of Sundanese agrarian traditions with Islamic spirituality.

Abstract

This study examines the acculturation of agrarian traditions, particularly the Seren Taun ceremony, in the villages of Bojongsari and Sukamaju, Nyalindung District, Sukabumi, between 1986 and 2024. The Seren Taun ceremony, a harvest celebration, has historically been found in traditional villages such as Kanekes Baduy and Ciptagelar. However, interestingly, this tradition also persists in rural villages such as Bojongsari and Sukamaju, albeit with significant differences due to socio-cultural and religious acculturation. The main objective of this study is to analyze the contents of the traditional “Ririmbon Panen” guidebook found in both villages and to identify the forms of acculturation that influence agricultural practices and religious rituals. Using a qualitative approach, this research involves field methods (observation, interviews, documentation) and philology to edit and translate the texts, supplemented by content analysis to reveal the values contained therein. The results of the study show that the Seren Taun tradition in Bojongsari and Sukamaju, known as “Meteumeuyan,” has undergone profound acculturation with Islamic teachings. This transformation is evident in the replacement of amulets with prayers from the Qur'an and the use of the Islamic calendar in determining harvest times. Although pre-Islamic elements such as offerings and incense burning have been eliminated, other aspects such as calculating auspicious/inauspicious days and wind direction have been retained. In addition, the community still respects Monday as “Nyi Pohaci Day,” when rice processing activities are stopped. The Seren Taun ceremony in these two villages represents a concrete example of cultural acculturation in Indonesian agrarian communities, where indigenous traditions adapt to Islamic thinking, creating a unique blend that enriches cultural meaning without losing its essence.
