Abstract

This study aims to identify the architectural characteristics, spatial organization, and ornamental features of four ancient Chinese temples located in the Old Chinatown area of Semarang, and to analyze their symbolic meanings as a basis for formulating the potential of these temples as an area-based historical tourism narrative. The research adopts a qualitative cultural-arts approach through field observation, semi-structured interviews, and literature review focusing on architecture, ornaments, symbols, and the social functions of the temples, supported by descriptive–comparative analysis and data triangulation. The results show that all four temples share a simple spatial configuration consisting of a front veranda and a main worship hall, a predominance of wooden construction, and a rich repertoire of ornaments featuring mythological fauna, flora, and cosmological symbols, with red and gold as dominant colors representing prosperity and balance. The findings confirm that the temples function not only as places of worship but also as living heritage that embodies history, identity, and the collective memory of the Chinese community in the Old Chinatown area. The implications of this study indicate that these ancient temples have strong potential to be developed as area-based heritage religious tourism assets, provided that their sacred values, symbolic meanings, and the central role of the local community in management and interpretation are consistently maintained.

Abstract

Artikel ini membandingkan representasi Tionghoa dalam karya sastra Balai Pustaka dengan karya penulis peranakan Tionghoa, khususnya Kwee Tek Hoay, pada awal abad ke-20. Kajian dilakukan dengan metode analisis wacana historis terhadap teks sastra, memperhatikan narasi identitas, posisi sosial-ekonomi, dan hubungan etnis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Balai Pustaka, sebagai lembaga penerbit kolonial, banyak mereproduksi stereotip Tionghoa sebagai kelompok pedagang atau penghambat integrasi sosial. Sebaliknya, Kwee Tek Hoay berusaha menampilkan perspektif Tionghoa sebagai bagian integral dari masyarakat Hindia dengan menekankan nilai moral, spiritualitas, dan kontribusi budaya. Perbandingan ini memperlihatkan adanya pertarungan wacana dalam sastra kolonial yang mencerminkan posisi tawar komunitas Tionghoa dalam pembentukan identitas kebangsaan.

Abstract

This study examines digital archives and collective memory in preserving the history of the Chinese community in Indonesia. From the colonial period through the New Order era, Chinese history experienced marginalization due to discriminatory policies and limited access to official state archives, hence being excluded from national historiography. In the Post-Reformation period, digital technology has opened new opportunities for the state, public institutions, and civil society to reconstruct, manage, and disseminate historical archives in a more inclusive manner. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with thematic analysis of digital archives, museums, community initiatives, manuscript digitization projects, and online platforms that play a role in preserving collective memory. The findings indicate that digital archives function as a public sphere that enables community participation, intergenerational dialogue, and reconciliation. The implications of this study highlight the importance of open digital archiving policies within public administration to ensure pluralistic historiography and public participation. This research recommends strengthening collaboration between government institutions, academic centers, and community-based organizations to sustain collective memory in the digital era.
