Abstract:
Mappadendang is a culture in Buginese society especially Sidrap Sidenreng Rappang regency. It emerges as an expression of gratitude to the god. This paper presents how Mappadendang become the culture as result of thought and language and interpret its meanings. Mappadendang culture is one of the traditional party activities carried out after the rice harvest. The Mappadendang tradition is a unique tradition carried out by the Bugis community as a form of gratitude to the Creator for sustenance in the form of an abundance of rice harvested. And usually this tradition is done every year after the harvest season is over. This activity was carried out by several women and men. The tools used are in the form of a large and long mortar and several pestles used for each person involved in it. The woman here will perform movements such as pounding rice on a mortar, but creating a synchronous rhythm between one collision. The Mappadendang harvest ritual is a Buginese custom for a long time, and has been passed down from generation to generation in that place, which is followed by all farmers. This ritual is carried out by pounding rice in a long mortar which usually has six holes, up to twelve called Palungeng, using a mashing tool which the Bugis tribe calls a pestle. During the ritual, the rice beaters wear traditional clothes called bodo clothes. Apart from being a form of joy, the mappadendang ritual is also intended to preserve the cultural heritage of the ancestors which it is feared that the younger generation will increasingly abandon it. The sensitivity of the people of Bacukiki in preserving the culture of their ancestors is still very strong. Every year the people of Bacukiki carry out the Mappadendang tradition as a form of gratitude to the one and only God to welcome the harvest festival.
