Art and Philosophy: Harmony of Giring-Giring Dance, Manganjan Dance, Tambun Bungai Dance of Kalimantan Tengah

,


INTRODUCTION
Without Tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd.. Without innovation, it is a corpse (Sir Winston Churchill).
Tradition, though it has existed throughout history, is not historicizing tradition as in walking through time without the touch of other traditions, localities, religions, economies, politics, gender, and elsewhere (Lumbanraja, 2021;Murgiuanto, 1993;M. T. Telhalia, 2017bM. T. Telhalia, , 2017a;;T. Telhalia, 2023).Traditions are mutable to the extent of going backwards with lack of care.Either it turns into more labor or better.Tradition has the potential to change, whether the change is inherent or a change that comes from outside the tradition that is preserved (constructed).Tradition in Indonesia encounters religion, for instance, and tradition is preserved and even undergoes improvisation or richness.
Tradition in Indonesia according to researchers consists of various types of traditions as far as Indonesia stretches from east to west (Andriany et al., 2023;Lumbantobing, 2022;D. A. Saputra et al., 2023;S. E. Sinta et al., 2022;Suriani & Betaubun, 2022;Tobing, 2015;Trisiana et al., 2023).One of them is tradition in dance.Dance as an art is a dance that develops for traditional communities which is basically intended for local or traditional communities as an art of life or for the benefit of certain regional customs.In addition to dance as part of life, dance as an art continues to the means.The means that researchers mean are educational means and entertainment means.The types of dances in Indonesia are so diverse from Sabang to Merauke and have distinctiveness as values, capabilities and also act like attitudes.
For instance, based on researchers' observations, dance or any other type of art performance is often objectified as a dance to welcome officials or "important people."What if the context of the dance is changed?What if the context of dance is changed?For example, why is dance not consistently performed in religious communities or dance as a refresher for work in the fields or rice fields?Or maybe dance and all its historicity have been abandoned by many young people.Or perhaps the impression of dance itself as a body language that means nothing as a conjecture or perhaps dance enables one to imagine the subject matter, meaning and material of dance.

METHOD
The present study is based on qualitative research with data retrieval through literature review, image retrieval through videos (YouTube) and images through online media (Andriany et al., 2023;Charmaz & Thornberg, 2021;Dinata et al., 2023;Eribka et al., 2023;Fransisko et al., 2024;Kristiani et al., 2023;Manuputty et al., 2023;Munte, 2022bMunte, , 2023b;;Nopitri & Irdayani, 2023;Nursusanti et al., 2022;Prasetiawati, 2022;Rosen et al., 2023;Shaw, 2023;Silipta et al., 2021Silipta et al., , 2023;;Sriwijayanti, 2023;Tedy et al., 2023).Researchers basically would like to see how far and how much the experience of dancers and dance in Central Kalimantan is able to survive even though it seems as if the dance has become lost and unmaintained.This research includes research subjects from the researchers themselves who have gained an understanding of dance and also experience and researchers experience growing up in Palangka Raya as concrete evidence that the researchers' data comes from the activities they have been doing.

Tarian Giring-Giring, Musikalitas Budaya dan Dayak Kalimantan Tengah
The history of the Giring-Giring dance of the Taboyan Bawo and Siang Murungi Dayak tribes as far as the researcher's thoughts and searches through Kompas, researchers have seen that the history began in a settlement on the Barito River known as Witu.Giring-Giring dance was originally referred to as or named Tolag Totai dance which has the meaning as a segment on and through bamboo and/or wooden stalks (Kompas, 2021).Dabambu, technically, was originally inserted with corn kernels so that it makes a sound or sound during or when played.According to legend-as far as Kompas is concerned-there lived a young man who was in a village and then got lost in a cave for two days and two nights in the cave.The young man heard the sound of falling water as music.After coming out of the cave, the young man saw many villagers dancing together while planting rice.Then the young man made a Tolang Totai musical instrument which is also called Pendopo (Kompas, 2021).
The same history but with a different way of presenting it says that according to the Ma'anyan Dayak and Lawangan Dayak tribes living in the southern interior, the Giring Giring dance originated from the Ganggareng dance, formerly referred to as Nampak.This dance narrates the joy of the village community who welcomed the arrival of Dayak fighters who had just finished fighting.Based on this story, researchers began to conclude that the Giring Giring Dance, Tolang Totai Dance, Ganggereng Dance, and Gantar Dance were the golden beginnings of cultural arts in Central Kalimantan.The word Giring-Giring itself means dancing together or accompanying.
Therefore, his parents believed that little Bungai had the powers of the gods.To test this, his father hung little Bungai on a high log in the forest for 7 days and 7 nights (Kompas, 2021).Not only that, Bungai Kecil was also cradled in a bay for 7 days and 7 nights where the water was quite deep (Kompas, 2021).There was almost no food and drink.After his parents passed the test, it turned out that little Bungai was still healthy, fit, and healthy without defects.Meanwhile, his cousin Tambun was also like Bungai.Bungai and Tambun lived like twin brothers who didn't want to be separated.
If one of them fought, the other would help.
If Tambun was sad, Bungai was sad too.Although their childhood was full of oddities, joys and sorrows, both of them grew up to be noble individuals.They are smart, kind, gentle, ready to help others, take a little, give a lot, intelligent, dexterous, quick and unyielding in defending the truth.These two children were like one soul in two bodies with leadership qualities.That's why the villagers respect and love them.According to a Dayak proverb, Bakena Mamut Menteng means Beautiful, Polite and Brave (Alimulhuda, 2017;Eribka et al., 2023;Silipta et al., 2021Silipta et al., , 2023;;Sulistyowati et al., 2022).During battles against other tribal enemies who wanted to control their territory, Tambun and Bungai never lost and always won the fight.
Then Bungai's eldest brother became king, Nyai Undang, in the Pematang Sawang area of Kupang Island and one day was attacked by enemies from another tribe.At least 1,000 soldiers surrounded Nyai Undang's territory from the south and north with weapons and equipment (Alimulhuda, 2017).Nyai Undang was threatened, but due to the courage and strength of Tambun and Bungai, the enemy attack with great force was defeated and driven away from Nyai Undang's area.Nyai Undang was extremely grateful to her brother and cousin Tambun and Bungai.Since then, both of them received the honorary titles of Tumenggung Tambun Terjun Ringkin Duhung and Tumenggung Bungai Andin Sindai.

Tambun Bungai Dance and Art Space
Tambun and Bungai dances are commonly performed by several female dancers in one costume to make the dance more interesting.Tambun Bungai Dance is the traditional dance of the Central Kalimantan region which tells the story of two heroes of the Palangka Raya fighters, named Tambun and Bungai, who repelled the invaders who wanted to control and seize the spoils of war owned by the people of the homeland (Apandie et al., 2022;Apandie & Rahmelia, 2020, 2022;Kristin et al., 2022;Merilyn, 2018Merilyn, , 2020;;Pransinartha, 2022;Pransinartha et al., 2023;Rahmelia & Apandie, 2023;Sapriline et al., 2023;Sarmauli & Pransinartha, 2022;Wilson, 2022).Tambun and Bungai are legendary heroes of the Dayak Ot Danum tribe from Gunung Mas Regency, Central Kalimantan province.
Tambun and Bungai are recognized as legendary figures who have magic and they are the ancestors of the Dayak tribe.The ancient history in the Dayak country called Tetek Tatum or meaning the original call always tells about the struggle of Tambung and Bungai (Adellia et al., 2023;Casati et al., 2013;Dandi & Veronica, 2023;Elvira, 2019;Pattiasina et al., 2022;Pradita, 2021;Pradita & Veronica, 2023;rudie, 2023;Rudie, 2021;Salmanezer et al., 2023;E. J. Saputra et al., 2023;Seruyanti et al., 2023;Sihombing, 2015Sihombing, , 2019Sihombing, , 2022;;Susanto et al., 2022;Veronica, 2022).In ancient times there were 3 heroes named Lambung or known as Maharaja Bunu, Karangkang Amban Penyang or Maharaja and Sangiang Lanting or Maharaja Sangen living in the interior of Kalimantan.The three of them lived in the Kahayan river valley in the middle of the island of Kalimanan.They lived by farming and harvesting forest products.  . Kurniati, 2016).Tumenggung Sampung married Nyai Endas and gave birth to eight children.One of the eight children was famous for his bravery, his name was Bungai.So was the older brother of Bungai's father Tumenggung Saropoi.He married and later had a fat son named Tambun.Since childhood, Bungai was beautiful.In addition, his character and disposition were also good.Since childhood, Bungai was known to be brave and not giving up easily.
Bungai was known to be brave and unyielding if a person has high hopes and desires.Many of her unusual behaviors are different from other children.Therefore, his parents believed that little Bungai had the powers of the gods.To test this, his father hung little Bungai on a high log in the forest for 7 days and 7 nights.Not only that, Bungai Kecil was also cradled in a bay for 7 days and 7 nights where the water was quite deep.There was almost no food and drink.After both parents passed the test, it turned out that Little Bungai was still healthy, fit and healthy without any defects.
Nyai Undang was grateful to her brother and cousin Tambun and Bungai.Since then, both of them received the honorary titles of Tumenggung Tambun Terjun Ringkin Duhung and Tumenggung Bungai Andin Sindai (Qanita, 2019).Kupang Island, called Pematang Sawang District in this story, is the town of Bataguh located near Kuala Kapuas, the capital of Kapuas District today.As Tambun and Bungai paid homage to their homeland as parents, they lived in Tumbang Pajangei.Tumbang Pajangei was located north of Kuala Kurun, the capital of today's Gunung Mas Regency.They lived with their wives.Tumenggung Tambun married Princess Karin Likon Lanting and Tumenggung Bungai married Princess Bulan Bawin Pulang.They spent their old age in Tumbang Pajange until they passed away.According to Dayak folklore, both of them gave birth to many descendants of Dayak heroes in the future.

CONCLUSION
The conclusion of the results of this study shows all the diversity of Indonesian dances even though all dances are not explored in detail, but researchers announce the historical space, meaning and also the uniqueness of the Dayak Giring-Giring dance, Manganjan Dance and Tambun Bungai Dance originating from Central Kalimantan owned by the Dayak Tribe, especially the Ma'anyan Dayak which is abundant with cultural wealth, distinctive, style and also has an integrative communal meaning that relates to one another, namely religion, culture, economy, social, gender, philosophy and art.
