Imlek 2560

2009-01-26T00:05:00.004+07:00

Chinese new year is coming. This 2560 is the year of Ox. It is said that this is a very hard one. The struggling year. Since Ox is symbolizing the hard work. What ever it brings, let us take it.

Mostly people in Indonesia knew and called Chinese New year as Imlek, or Sincia as mostly Hokkian people called this spring celebration. But in Bangka island, Belitong, West Bormeo and some parts of Sumatera where the Hakka community live, this celebration known as Ko Ngian, Ko Ngien, Ko Nian or Ko Nien. What ever it is called we hope this year will bring more prosperity, more happiness and more peace with good fortunes. Kiong Hi Fat Choi !

Sam Po Kong Temple

2009-01-16T09:46:00.006+07:00

As a my travel gift to Semarang, i post this beautiful temple of Sam Po Kong Temple complex to commemorate The Great Admiral of Zheng Ho. This temple long time ago was used to be a small mosque. Sam Po Kong is the local name for Zheng Ho , a moslem eunuch from China mailand who travelled to Java in the 15th century as the ambassador of China dinasty. Local peope called this temple complex as Gedung Batu ( Stone Building ) built at the old location of an ancient stone cave where his boatman rested for illness. It is probabbly the Stone Building name originated. But the facts behind the temple and its relation to Zheng Ho is still doubted by many historians. Some historians believed that Zheng Ho never landed in this place. Meanwhile The Sam Po Kong is not Zheng Ho, it is another history of Sam Po Thai Jien ( Three Great Man ) who traveled to Java for gemstones from different era. Since historical facts and local myths blended each other with differents facets, it makes the history turned tobe a just story and finally the just story become Another History. So what part do you believe ?

Atap Ilalang

Thatch seems to be the Asian original handmade roof. You could find this wild weed roof from Indonesia to Malaysia, from Japan to China and mostly at Asian countries. It is a water and rain drop proof. Warm in the cold weather and cold in the hot season. It is about 3-5 centimeter thick. Since the weed drying up due to ages, it is absolutely easy flamable. In Indonesian remote villages it is now still used as housing roof. " Ilalang or Alang-Alang " is a wild weed as the raw material for making this thatch ( Atap ).
