Abstract

This study discusses the symbolic values of the Batu Qulhu tradition and its function in the inheritance of cultural history among Malay descendants in Air Tenang Village, Aceh Tamiang. The Batu Qulhu tradition is a death ritual carried out on the 40th day after a person’s death by repeatedly reciting Surah Al-Ikhlas using white stones as a counting medium for dhikr. This study aims to identify the symbolic values contained in the Batu Qulhu tradition and its function in preserving and transmitting Malay cultural history. This research employed a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the Batu Qulhu tradition contains religious, social, cultural, and moral values that are still maintained by the Malay community in Air Tenang Village. The white stones used in the ritual symbolize purity, firmness of faith, and solemnity in worship. Furthermore, the Batu Qulhu tradition functions as a medium for transmitting cultural history because through this tradition, younger generations are able to recognize local customs, cultural values, and the identity of the Malay community inherited from previous generations. The tradition also strengthens social solidarity through collective prayers and communal cooperation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the local wisdom values contained in the Perumah Begu tradition in Juma Tombak Village, Deli Serdang Regency, as a form of spirit-based conflict resolution. The Perumah Begu tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Karo community that is still preserved today and is believed to play an important role in maintaining social harmony within society. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the Perumah Begu tradition contains various local wisdom values, such as deliberation, social solidarity, respect for ancestors, and peace, which serve as guidelines in community life. This tradition also functions as a customary conflict resolution medium that is more easily accepted by the community because it is closely related to local beliefs and cultural values passed down from generation to generation. The existence of the Perumah Begu tradition proves that local wisdom still has an important role in maintaining social relationships and strengthening community cohesion amid modernization. This study is expected to contribute to the development of cultural history studies and the preservation of local traditions in Karo society.

Abstract

World War II in the Pacific caused not only military destruction but also profound suffering among Japanese civilians. This study examines the representation of the war’s impact on Japanese civilian society in Isao Takahata’s animated film Grave of the Fireflies (1988). The study employs a qualitative approach using library research and film analysis from historical and film-studies perspectives. Primary data consist of Grave of the Fireflies and Akiyuki Nosaka’s semi-autobiographical story, while supporting materials include historical literature on the bombing of Japan, particularly Kobe in 1945, as well as studies of war trauma, collective memory, and civilian life. The data were analyzed through content analysis and semiotic-narrative analysis and subsequently compared with historical information to assess the film’s representational accuracy. The findings indicate that the film portrays the consequences of war through four major dimensions: physical and material destruction, psychological trauma, the breakdown of social and family relations, and economic and food crises. Through the perspectives of Seita and Setsuko, civilian experiences are presented in personal and humanistic terms, particularly through scenes of displacement, loss of home and family members, hunger, and declining social solidarity. The film demonstrates strong correspondence with the historical context of Japanese civilian life during the final phase of the war. Nevertheless, its representation is selective because it foregrounds the experience of victims while giving limited attention to Japan’s position as an aggressor in the Asia-Pacific War. Grave of the Fireflies therefore functions not only as a work of art but also as a medium for historical representation and the preservation of collective memory concerning civilian suffering in wartime.

The implementation of this Manulangi Tulang custom is due to several driving factors that can be seen in the life of the Batak community itself.

Abstract

Every cultural tradition existing in the life of the Batak Toba community carries a historical background and profound meaning that underlies its existence. Such is the case with the Mangongkal Holi tradition, which remains alive and practiced to this day by the Batak Toba people, particularly those residing in Pandumaan-Sipituhuta District, Humbang Hasundutan Regency. This tradition is not merely a series of customary activities, but also preserves historical, philosophical, and cultural values that have evolved alongside the development of community life. Behind every procedure and implementation method, there lie noble messages that make this tradition a key medium for passing down history and culture from one generation to the next. Therefore, understanding its origin, meaning, and inherent values is essential knowledge, especially for the younger generation as the successors of cultural heritage. This understanding ensures that the cultural wealth and identity of the Batak Toba community are always preserved and sustained amidst the rapid changes of modern times.

Abstract

This study examines the socio-cultural history of the Nias people through an analysis of the meaning of the stone jumping tradition (Hombo Batu) in Bawamataluo Village, South Nias Regency. The Hombo Batu tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Nias people that has historical, social, religious, and philosophical values. In the past, this tradition functioned as a means of physical and mental training for young people in facing inter-village wars and as a symbol of transition to adulthood. Over time, the function of Hombo Batu has transformed into a cultural identity and tourist attraction that introduces the Nias people to the outside world. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to understand the meaning of the Hombo Batu tradition in the lives of the people of Bawamataluo Village. Data were obtained through a literature review of various relevant scientific sources. The results of the study indicate that the Hombo Batu tradition contains values of courage, discipline, responsibility, solidarity, respect for ancestors, and a fighting spirit in facing life's challenges. In addition, this tradition functions as a medium for inheriting the history of the formation of cultural identity, a social glue, and a means of building historical awareness of the younger generation Amidst the currents of modernization and globalization, preserving Hombo Batu has become crucial for maintaining the socio-cultural existence of the Nias people while strengthening the local identity passed down through generations.

This tradition also serves as a medium for passing down history and the cultural identity of the Banjar people, especially in Sungai Ular Village. This research is expected to increase public understanding of the meaning of the Bapapai tradition and help preserve and pass on the culture to the younger generation so that it is not eroded by the currents of modernization
