Tradisi Menyambut Bulan Suci Ramadhan

Menyambut Ramadhan

By; Satria saputra

Bulan suci Ramadhan adalah bulan yang sangat ditunggu-tunggu oleh umat muslim di seluruh penjuru dunia. Ramadhan merupakan bulan kesembilan dalam penanggalan Hijriyah (sistem penanggalan agama Islam) dan merupakan bulan yang penuh berkat, penuh rahmat, penuh pengampunan serta punya banyak kelebihan. Dengan kelebihan-kelebihan inilah masyarakat menyambut bulan suci Ramadhan dengan penuh suka cita yang dilakukan dalam berbagai cara yang unik hingga menjadi sebuah tradisi.

Tak terkecuali masyarakat Prov. Jambi, mereka menyambut datangnya bulan suci Ramadhan dengan menggelar kompetisi perang-perangan dengan mengunakan meriam yang dibuat dari bambu atau bedil buluh.

Dulu, tepat di pinggir sungai Batanghari di kawasan kompleks percandian Muaro Jambi, puluhan anak berkumpul untuk menyaksikan rekan-rekan mereka yang ikut serta dalam permainan perang-perangan dengan meriam bambu atau bedil buluh dalam bahasa setempat. Permainan ini terdiri dari beberapa kelompok, biasanya terdiri dari 4 (empat) kelompok yang masing-masing kelompok beranggotakan 4 (empat) orang anak, sebelum bertanding biasanya masing-masing kelompok diwajibkan untuk menyanyikan yel-yel supaya bersemangat dalam bertanding. Nah, kelompok dengan yel-yel terbaik akan mendapat hadiah berupa buku bacaan tentang Nabi-nabi yang diberikan oleh kakak-kakak pemuda setempat.

Bermain meriam bambu atau bedil buluh ini memang sangat mengasyikan, namun bila kita tidak terbiasa, permainan ini dapat mengakibatkan bulu mata menjadi keriting karena jarak yang tidak ideal antara mata dengan lubang api pada saat kita ingin menghidupkan meriam bambu tersebut. Meski berbahaya, namun anak-anak tersebut cukup cekatan dan berhati-hati dalam melakukan permainan ini.

Tradisi perang meriam bambu sendiri dimaksudkan sebagai pertanda, sebulan penuh saat bulan Ramadhan, umat muslim di seluruh dunia akan melakukan perang melawan hawa nafsu dan lebih mendekatkan diri kepada Tuhan.

Tak jauh beda dengan daerah lain, selain mempersiapkan diri untuk menyambut Bulan Suci Ramadhan, di Merlung juga beragam tradisi menyambut bulan yang ditunggu-tunggu umat muslim di seluruh dunia ini. Sungguh terasa apabila bulan suci itu akan segera tiba. Masyarakat mempersiapkan segala sesuatu untuk kenyamanan beribadah di bulan Ramadan, seperti membenah Masjid, Langgar, Surau bahkan tempat-tempat umum seperti jalan-jalan menuju masjid yang diterangi dengan lampu.

Dentuman bedilpun baik terbuat dari bambu ataupun kaleng bekas ikut menyemarak menyambut kedatanag Bulan Suci Ramadhan, tak terkecuali colok (obor) dan lilin dipasang di halam rumah, perlengkapan arak- arak sahurpun disiapkan.

Namun sayang, itu hanyalah kenangan masa lalu semata, berbeda dengan saat ini tradisi-tradisi asli Provinsi Jambi makin hari kian terkikis karena perkembangan zaman. Dunia modern seolah-olah memaksa kepergian tradisi itu. Padahal, sudah  sepatutnya kita terutama generasi muda menjaga dan melestarikan nilai-nilai tradisi tersebut.

Para generasi muda saat ini sangat memprihatinkan, mereka lebih memilih menghabiskan waktu-waktu luangnya dengan hal-hal yang tidak berguna dengan bermain video game dan sebagainya.

Myth Of Jambi "Pirau Ghost"

Once upon a time, in Jambi, there was a king who has a supernatural power and invulnerable. He was the 1^st King of Jambi who comes from Keling , India. Besides he has a supernatural power, he was also famous, wise, and prudent. He was always thinking about the prosperity of his citizens. So, this situation made people become very happy in doing their daily activities. That is Why, he was very respected by all of his citizens.

One day, the quiet atmosphere suddenly became very scary, why? It’s because of the coming  of Pirau ghost. Pirau ghost always came to frighten the small children who were playing and disturbing the babies sleeping. If the pirau ghost saw a baby or small children, so the Ghost likes to chortle happily , so the children become frightened and the babies were crying. But, if the parents keep their children, the ghost did not dare to come to disturb them. Therefore, the parents should always keep their children well while playing or sleeping in the crib in every time. That situation made people become restless, because they could not leave the house to go for a work.

Because of the situation, the leaders from Tujuh Koto, Sembilan Koto, and Batin Duo Belas or more commonly called Dubalang tujuh, Dubalang sembilan, and Dubalang Duo Belas, trying to chase the ghost away by reading all kinds of spells that they could. However, all in vain. In fact, the behavior of the ghost was crazier than before. Almost at any time, day or night, he always came annoying the children to cry and scream in fear.

"We have done all kinds of ways, we have tried, but the pirau ghost still did not want to get out of this country. What should we do now? "Asked Dubalang Tujuh confused.

"How about if we talk about this problem to the king?" Suggested Dubalang sembilan.

"I agree. He has a supernatural power and a powerful king, doesn’t he ?" Said Dubalang Duo belas.

"Alright then! Let's go together and meet our king, " said Dubalang tujuh.

And finally they had an agreement, after that all the dubalang immediately went to the King of Jambi. Arriving at the palace, they immediately report all events that are befalling their country.

"Forgive me, my king! We would like to report something to you "said Dubalang duo belas.

"Say it! What on earth has happened in this country, Dubalang? "Asked the King of Jambi curious.

"sorry my king! A few days ago, the Pirau Ghost always came to disturb our children. At first they were amused and laughed, but eventually they cry and scream of fear, "said Dubalang Duo belas.

"Forgive me, my king! We've tried so many ways, but the ghost always comes to disturb us, "added Dubalang sembilan.

"how about the face of the Ghost, dubalang? Have you ever seen ? "Asked the King of Jambi.

"no, not yet my King! We just heard his laughing when the children were crying and screaming, "said Dubalang Duo belas.

Hearing that news, the reports of  dubalang, the King of Jambi just smiled while stroking his thick beard which is already graying. Then he rose from his seat and walked around dubalang.

"Alright then. Just go back to your region, then inform all of your citizens to make Lukah”. Ladies and gentlemen, Lukah here just like a fish trap that usually used by the fishermen to catch the fish. “Alright then. Just go back to your region, then inform all of your citizens to make Lukah”.  so every person will make it! "The command of the King.

"Forgive me, my king! What for is that? Is it for fishing? "Asked Duabalang Duo belas confused.

"Come on dubalang, it’s simple. Just do it! Do what I told you before. Do not forget, after they have already made the lukah, put it on the top of a hill immediately and tied it on strong pillars. After that, every morning and evening you climb up the hill to see all the lukah! "The King's command.

Hearing the explanation from the King, the dubalang tigo immediately excused himself to execute, to do the command of the King. None of them dared to re-ask the king. On the way home, they kept wondering to themself about the King's command just now.

Arriving in each country, the dulabang tigo directly informed the king's comment to all the citizens. Of course, The citizens were surprised when they hear the command. When they asked it to the dubalang, they do not get a definite answer. All dubalang also did not know what is the purpose of the King. However, because it is the king's command, willy nilly the residents had to make lukah immediately, although they were very confused and did not know what is the purpose of the King. then they put the lukah on the top of a hill which is not far from their homes. Every morning and evening all the dubalang climbed up the hill to see and look into the lukah. On the 1^st day, the 2^nd day, the 3^rd day till the 6^th day they climbed up the hill to see and look into the lukah, but it has not shown any signs of Pirau Ghost.

 But in the morning of the seventh day, when Dubalang Duo belas climbed up to the top of the hill to check out the lukah. He was very surprised when He saw something terrified in a lukah. His face just like a human, but he was small and horrified. he was also able to speak like a human. When Dubalang Duo Belas approached him, the strange creature had a sound which is already familiar in his ear.

"Hey, listen! I think I often hear that voice. It is the voice of the Pirau Ghost , isn’t it? "asked Dubalang Duo belas in his heart.

After he made sure himself that the sound was actually the voice of the Pirau ghost, then he immediately reported it to the King.

"Forgive me, my king! I was just from the hill. I find the strange creature trapped in a lukah. Is he the Pirau ghost which always disturbs us? "Asked Dubalang Duo belas.

"you are right, dubalang! It’s true! Let’s climb up the hill and bring me to him! “ said the king of Jambi.

"okay my king! Follow me! "Said Dubalang Duo belas while going to the hill.

Before climb up the hill, he also invite Dubalang Sembilan, dubalang tujuh and all of his citizens to join in taking the strange creature in the lukah.

"have you known what is this?! This creature named Pirau Ghost which always disturb your children, "said the King.

"Understand my king!" Replied the dubalang all at once.

"Dubalang! Give me a sharp sword! I would like to cut the body of this ghost, "said the king to dubalang sembilan.

Hearing the threat by the king, the pirau ghost immediately asked for forgiveness to the King and all of his citizens.

"forgive me, please forgive me! Do not kill me! If you let me go from this trap, I will fulfill all of your requests. You are a wise king, aren’t you? "

"Well, I will let you go! But i only have two requests. First, after going out of this trap, leave this country and never come back again to disturb my citizens, especially small children. Second, give the Pinto-Pinto ring to me, now. Give it to me! "Said the king.

Ladies and gentleman, the Pinto-pinto ring is a ring which has a great power, a great supernatural power.

The Pirau ghost agreed with the request of the King. After releasing from the trap, soon he gave pinto-pinto ring to the King, and left Jambi forever. Since then, the Jambi was never disturbed by the Pirau ghost. The conditions return in peace and quiet, and this situation made people become very happy in doing their daily activities again.

Several years later after the incident of the Pirau Ghost, King of Jambi suddenly want to prove the great power of pinto-pinto ring which is given by the ghost. But because he didn’t  want to be known by the people in Jambi, so he told the people that he would like to go back to his country in Keling, India.

After he is in his country, the King of Jambi immediately prove the miracle of the pinto-pinto ring.

"Hey pinto-pinto ring! Make this Mumbay City as reigned of pearls, jewels, and the diamonds!” asked the king.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the city suddenly change become sparkling. All the corners of the city filled with pearls, jewels and diamonds. How happy the king to see the beautiful scenery and tempting. But as a wise king, a few years later he sent one of his sons named Sultan Baring to substitute him as a King of Jambi.

The people of Jambi were so happy, because he is also a wise king like his father. It is said that Sultan Baring king subsequent the other kings and sultans, such as Sultan Taha Syaiffudin and Raden Ino Kartopati.

Thus the story of the King and Pirau ghost from Jambi, Indonesia. The story above belongs to the category of fairy tales that contain moral value that can be used as guidelines in our daily life. One of the moral value of the story above is the virtue of discussing in solving all the problems. This case shown by the attitude and the behavior of Dubalang tujuh, Dubalang sembilan, and Dubalang Duo Belas. When they were not able to solve the problem, they immediately consulted to find a way out. In Malays life, discussing or deliberation is upheld, respected and honored, because of discussing all the difficulties faced easier to solve.

Another lesson to be learned from this story is the science is very important in human life, because of the Science, all difficulties can be overcome easily. Therefore, everyone is required to study hard in order to have the knowledge. According to the elders of the Malays, the benefits of the science is not only for personal gain, it is also beneficial for the community, the nation and the state. That is why, in Malays life, the knowledge is very important. 

Teks Pidato "No Smoking"

NO SMOKING !

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Good morning all …
The honorable the judges, the honorable my teachers, the honorable my seniors and my beloved friends . We must give thanks to our god, because of god’s blessing we can stand here until today . First of all , I would like to introduce my self. My name is ……., I sit in ………..,.
My beloved teachers and friends ,

Today I will deliver a speech about smoking entitled “Smoking is a bad habit in our lives”.

It is very nice following the polemic in many magazines about smoking, after I have investigated for so long time, I think smoking is very negative for all people. Hereby  I would like to tell you reasonable argumentation about that.

The first is from health side, accordance with our investigation during this time, the negative effect of smoking 40 % is back to the smokers themselves and 60 % is to the people who are around the smokers, so the smokers make trouble not only for them but also to the other people. It is ok, there are many cigarette companies in our country that can help our country but I think it does not have meaning (useless) if our health is bad, a health is the most important thing in our life. For example we have much money but we cannot enjoy it because we are sick seriously, we may not eat that others can, oh… what a pity we are. I still remember what the wise man has said: “looking for money is easier than buying a health”. After thinking for long time I think it is true because no one sells a health in this world even doctors, the only thing they can do is curing, but it is still fifty-fifty because no doctor is able to guarantee someone will be healthy or sick, because that is Allah’s business none can intervene him.

Happy audiences, ladies and gentlemen

The smokers will be sickly or easily to get disease because their body is weak. Usually the smokers will get hard disease like suffer in the lung, cancer, impotent and so on. There are many persons who are dead caused by that disease. Oh… unbelievable that is very big deal for the smokers, I am sure the smokers have known about this unfortunately they are not aware.

for someone who is addicted in smoking is very difficult to leave it, then he does not have cigarette and in the same time he do not have money.

My friends,

As we know smoking is one part of the daily activities of the majority of Indonesian society. most smokers know the dangers of smoking but they never tried to stop smoking. Because that, we as the younger generation must be convinced that smoking is bad habits in life. Smoking is a bad habit because of three factors, among others:
1. Contain poison substances
2. causing diseases such as cancer.
3. expensive.

The honorable my teacher and friends,

The first factor of smoking is bad habit is contain poison substance. we should not consume cigarettes because it is not good for health. I’m sure you know there are many substances in cigarette smoke is dangerous. For the example, nicotine substance.. That substance is very dangerous and can cause various diseases. not only dangerous for smoker, it is also dangerous for us if we near the smoker. As we all know, smoking is bad for health, smoking can cause our lungs to be infected, This may even devellop into something more deadly, like cancer of the lungs.

There is tobacco and nicotine inside a roll of cigarette. These are the things people who amoke get addicted to. These two things are deadly and harmfulto our body and brain. A person who smokes usually dies earlier then someone who doesn’t. Smoking can lead to blood clotting in the brain and blocked arteries.
  so if there is a smoker near you. Say to him or her for stubbed him/ her cigarette for a moment with good polite.

Do you know? In this little tiny thing (a cigarette), there are more than 4000 dangerous substances that will lead the ones who smoke it to death. Some of those evil substances are nicotine, the substance that causes addictive to smoke over and over again. Tar, the substance that causes lung cancer. Carbon Monoxide, the substance that blocks oxygen circulation within blood. Andcarcinogen, the main actor of all cancer caused by smoking.

Are those 4000 evil substances not enough to make us to stop smoking???

And wait. Those terrible things of smoking are not the worst thing. The super worst thing of smoking is the passive smoker. Yeah, the bad effects of smoking habit are not only monopoly of the ones who smoke only (active smoker) but also those innocent people who inadvertently inhale the smoke of cigarettes. The super worst part is that passive smokers are three time more dangerous that the active smokers . Just remember our beloved ones who don't smoke, our friend, our family or our children.

My friend,

Next, I will talk about the second factor. That is, smoking cause various diseases like cancer, disorders of pregnancy, fetal disorders, and etc.
 One of the factor of many Indonesian people who died were smoking. The majority is a student!! Many students who died because of smoking and drugs. It was very disappointed.! one of the young generation died with the wrong way. !
smoking habit also produces behavioral effects that are bad for the smokers. And so many the negative effect of smoking.

The government should impose various laws on smoking, smoking in public places should be banned and people caught smoking should be fined a minimum fee of RM500. This should teach the people as it is quite an expensive lesson!

School are also good places to teach about the dangers of smoking. I suggest that smoking and its ill effects should be made part of the physical education curriculum . The teacher could show the students some pictures of what a smoker’s lungs look like. Trust me, this will certainly work as a smoker’s lungs are often charred black. Nobody would want their lungs to end up like that.

Also , students found in possession of cigarettes should be expelled without for the warnings if we give them a chance, they may make the same mistake over and over again. Any student caught smoking should also be expelled. The student might just burn the whole school any day!

So ladies and gentlement, lets all do our part and ban smoking. It is good for everyone, whether it is the smoker or the people around him.
Can we stop smoking now??? I beg you.

My beloved teacher and friends ,

Last, cigarette is expensive. Did you know?? Cigaratte price is 7-10 thousand rupiah or more than it for one pack. Can you imagine a student or a smoker spent his money to buy a pack of cigarettes every day and calculated every week, every month and every year.? If one day for buy a pack of cigarette is 8 thousands , So in one week he spent 56 thousands, in amonth he spent 240thousands and in year he spent 2.880.000 . it just one pack for a day. If 2 ,3, or 4 packs a day??? How many?? So many money , for smoking. This is cause a family got economic crisis and a student can not use his pocket money for school.
Smoking is not positive activity for us, young generation. So guys. From now, let we say “ Go Studying Stop Smoking!” . And be the best student for our country and school.

Drs Kim and Kate say:
"Giving up smoking is not easy for the smoker or their family and friends. Nowadays everyone knows that smoking is bad for health so look after your body and if you never start smoking you will never have to know how hard it is to stop."

Indeed, the habit of smoking is not as easy as we say. It needs great effort and courage. But we can start stop smoking right now by life healthy style. Remember all bad things that we'll get if we still consuming cigarettes. Remember those innocent of passive smoker who will get the same misfortune if they inhale the poisonous smoke we produce. Remember our children who will be damage to be near with us who still smoke. Just remember all those things. And please stop it. It's enough. Stop smoking NOW! 

Stop it now. Stop it now. Thank you.

SUKU DI JAMBI

INFORMASI TENTANG SUKU DI JAMBI:

ü      Melayu Jambi

ü      Batin

ü      Kerinci

ü      Penghulu

ü      Pindah

ü      Anak Dalam (Kubu)

ü      Bajau

NAMUN, Suku Kubu atau Anak Dalam dianggap sebagai sukutertua di Jambi, karena telah menetap terlebih dahulu sebelum kedatangan suku-suku yang lain. Mereka diperkirakan merupakan keturunan prajurit-prajurit Minangkabau yang bermaksud memperluas daerah ke Jambi. Ada sementara informasi yang menyatakan bahwa suku ini merupakan keturunan dari per campuran suku Wedda dengan suku Negrito, yang kemudian disebut seba gai suku Weddoid.

GAMBAR MENGENAI SUKU ANAK DALAM (KUBU):

Orang Anak Dalam dibedakan atas suku yang jinak dan liar. Sebutan "jinak" diberikan kepada golongan yang telah dimasyarakatkan, memiliki tempat tinggal yang tetap, dan telah mengenal tata cara pertanian. Sedangkan yang disebut "liar" adalah mereka yang masih berkeliaran di hutan-hutan dan tidak memiliki tempat tinggal tetap, belum mengenal sistem bercocok tanam, serta komunikasi dengan dunia luar sama sekali masih tertutup.

Suku-suku bangsa di Jambi pada umumnya bermukim di daerah pedesaan dengan pola yang mengelompok. Mereka yang hidup menetap tergabung dalam beberapa larik (kumpulan rumah panjang beserta pekarangannya). Setiap desa dipimpin oleh seorang kepala desa (Rio), dibantu oleh mangku, canang, dan tua-tua tengganai (dewan desa). Mereka inilah yang bertugas mengambil keputusan yang menyangkut kepentingan hidup ma syarakat desa.

Strata Sosial masyarakat di Jambi tidak mempunyai suatu konsepsi yang jelas tentang sistem pelapisan sosial dalam masyarakat. Oleh sebab itu jarang bahkan tidak pernah terdengar istilah- istilah atau gelar-gelar tertentu untuk menyebut lapisan-lapisan sosial dalam masyarakat. Mereka hanya mengenal sebutan-sebutan yang "kabur" untuk menunjukkan status seseorang, seperti orang pintar, orang kaya, orang kam pung dsb.

Pakaian Pada awalnya masyarakat pedesaan mengenal pakaian sehari-hari berupa kain dan baju tanpa lengan. Akan tetapi setelah mengalami proses akulturasi dengan berbagai kebu dayaan, pakaian sehari-hari yang dikenakan kaum wanita berupa baju kurung dan selendang yang dililitkan di kepala sebagai penutup kepala. Sedangkan kaum pria mengenakan celana setengah ruas yang mengge lembung pada bagian betisnya dan umumnya berwarna hitam, sehingga dapat leluasa bergerak dalam mela kukan pekerjaan sehari-hari. Pakaian untuk kaum pria ini dilengkapi dengan kopiah.

Kesenian di Provinsi Jambi yang terkenal antara lain Batanghari, Kipas perentak, Rangguk, Sekapur sirih, Selampit delapan, Serentak Satang.

Upacara adat yang masih dilestarikan antara lain Upacara Lingkaran Hidup Manusia, Kelahiran, Masa Dewasa, Perkawinan, Berusik sirih bergurau pinang, Duduk bertuik, tegak betanyo, ikat buatan janji semayo, Ulur antar serah terimo pusako dan Kematian

Filsafat Hidup Masyarakat Setempat: Sepucuk jambi sembilan lurah, batangnyo alam rajo.

CANDI MUARO JAMBI

GAMBAR:

CANDI MUARO JAMBI

CANDI MUARO JAMBI

Komplek candi itu dinamakan Candi Muaro Jambi karena terletak di Kabupaten Muaro Jambi, tepatnya di desa Muaro Jambi.Disebut komplek karena lokasi itu tidak hanya menyimpan satu candi melainkan puluhan candi. Namun, dari puluhan candi itu hanya beberapa yang selesai dipugar, sisanya masih berupa reruntuhan. Adapula gundukan-gundukan tanah bekas reruntuhan (menapo).

Candi-candi yang bisa diamati yakni;

ü    Candi Gumpung,

ü    Candi Tinggi,

ü    Candi Tinggi I,

ü    Candi Kembarbatu,

ü    Candi Kedaton,

ü    Candi Astano,

ü    Candi Gedong I,

ü    Candi Gedong II dan

ü    Candi Kotomahligai.

Cagar budaya ini bisa ditempuh dengan dua cara, jalan darat atau jalur sungai. Bila memilih jalan darat maka harus menyeberangiJembatan Aur Duri. Sedangkan bila memilih jalur sungai, wisatawan terlebih dahulu menuju Pelabuhan Talang Duku, lalu menyeberangi Sungai Batanghari ke desa Muaro Jambi.

Memasuki areal komplek, wisatawan akan disambut Candi Gumpung yang berdiri kokoh. Candi yang dipugar tahun ini 1982-1988 ini dikelilingi pagar tembok sepanjang 150 x 155 m, dengan gapura utama berada di sisi timur. Ketika candi itu dipugar, ditemukan arca Prajnaparamita yang kemudian disimpan di Museum Situs yang terletak berhadapan dengan Candi Gumpung.

Di sebelah timur laut Candi Gumpung terlihat candi yang menjulang lebih tinggi. FM Schnitger dalam laporannya pada tahun 1937menyebut candi setinggi 7,6 meter itu dengan sebutan Candi Tinggi. Pada candi induk terdapat tangga naik menuju kedua teras candi dengan tubuh bangunan makin mengecil pada puncaknya. Di seberangnya berdiri, Candi Tinggi I yang masih dikelilingi pagar kawat. Menurut Samiun, pemandu wisata, candi itu belum selesai dipugar.

Semakin masuk ke dalam, pengunjung akan menjumpai CandiKembarbatu. Saat pemugaran ditemukan gong kuno dari perunggu bertuliskan huruf Cina yang kini menjadi koleksi Museum Negeri Jambi. Selain itu juga ditemukan pula lempengan-lempengan emas, batu akik bertuliskan huruf Jawa kuno dan keramik Cina sekitar abad 10-12.

Candi lainnya yang tidak boleh dilewatkan yaitu Candi Kedaton Candiitu paling besar ukurannya dan masih dianggap angker oleh penduduk setempat.

Yang menarik dikaji dari candi-candi ini yakni ukuran dan bahan penyusunnya. Dibandingkan candi-candi di Jawa, ukuran candi di situs ini tergolong tidak terlalu besar. Mereka juga menggunakan batu bata dan kerikil untuk menyusun candi, berbeda dengan candi-candi di Jawa yang menggunakan batu-batu berukuran besar.
