FALSAFAH CERITA DAN MAKNANYA YANG TERSIRAT PADA BATU MEGALITIK DI LUAK TANAH MENGANDUNG.

This study focuses on the philosophy of the story and its implicit meaning in the megalithic rocks that are abundant in Luak Tanah Mengandung, Negeri Sembilan, that covers an area of Ulu Muar, Jempol, Terachi, Inas and Gunung Pasir. The theory of "Teksdealisme", which Mana Sikana popularized, was applied, emphasizing the principles of presence, collision, reinforcement and superiority. This study uses written materials in the library such as books, journals or seminar papers. The study's objective is to understand the philosophy of the story and the meaning behind the megalith in Luak Tanah Mengandung. It also aims to identify the influence of the philosophy of the story and meaning of the megalith on the customs, culture and heritage of the Luak Tanah Mengandung community and suggest efforts for the conservation and preservation of the megalith. The stories and meanings analyzed are the history, customs, culture, and heritage behind the narrative of megalithic rocks. On the other hand, the study also analyzed the narration by selected local figures to understand the story behind these megaliths. It was realized that the community would preserve the stone if they knew and understood its significance, symbolizing pride and identity. This study can also guide all parties that the stone will always be preserved if the community knows the history, culture and heritage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
