<![CDATA[The Becanang tradition in several sub-districts within the Central Aceh Regency is no longer practiced. Maintaining the Becanang tradition requires conscious effort and awareness from the community itself. This study aims to describe the Becanang tradition concerning its history and the rules applicable to its implementation. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and documentation. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive analysis, wherein the collected data is interpreted and analyzed using triangulation, data reduction, data display, and data verification. The research results indicate that Becanang has existed since the era of the Linge Kingdom. At that time, Becanang functioned as a pentalu, or a summon for the Sarakopat (royal subordinates), and was also performed when welcoming guests of honor. Currently, Becanang is performed at wedding ceremonies as well as to welcome guests. Canang is also used during Jule bai (escorting the groom to the bride's house). Furthermore, Canang is played by women during cooking activities prior to the mungerje day (preparations for the wedding reception). ]]>
