Batak culture is the most different from other cultures that exist in Indonesia and even the world. Ranging from customs, kinship, language, arts, beliefs, and not least also the principle of the Batak itself.
Talk about principle, the principle of the Batak people are very different from most other ethnic principle. Many people know someone as Batak not only of style of speech, but the principle of his life. Want to know what the principles of the hobo?
1. Anakkonhido Hamoraon Diau (My son is my property).
Having a child is an invaluable wealth to the tribe of Batak. The child would be worth more if the child is male, especially if it is the eldest son, is like a great blessing for the family of the tribe of Batak. The boy will be the heir to the clan of elderly men.For Batak families who do not have a boy, for example, if a child 1 to 5 are still women, parents will still try crave a boy so that his descendants even became 7 and even 9 people.
2. Hagabeon, Hasangapon, Hamoraon ( Success, Honor, Wealth).
It is a measure of success in Batak tribe. Being successful it has to be successful, rich, and honored. Success in question can be successful in the fields of education, business, career and others. Honor the Batak tribe depicted in daily life, which when associating always polite, has a high social position in the association and in custom.To wealth, wealth is actually the Batak tribe is relative, depending on how we compare and interpret. Batak people rich if more and more to give to others, the more others will avenge giving it to him, as well as vice versa. So life was full of Batak people giving and receiving blessings.
3. It will not married before living established.
Before marriage, the Batak required to settle both for men and women, so do not be surprised if you find a lot of old virgin and virgin old Batak tribe, it's because of the demands of this one. Nevertheless, everyone agrees with this principle because it seems you try to imagine, you get married but have not got a job, you'll want to eat what?
In addition, the demands seem to settle down positively correlated with the cost of the wedding because of the cost incurred for the wedding was not a little Batak people, far more than most other married of tribes.
4. Dalihan Natolu.
It is a sacred principle of belonging to the tribe of Batak because every tradition and Batak event surely these words are always spoken. Dalihan Natolu are three main rules that must be obeyed as the Batak, the Somba Marhula-hula (Salute to the family of the wife), Elek Marboru (must be able to protect women), Manat Mardongan Tubu (being careful to a friend with the same surname).Without Dalihan Natolu, Batak people's lives will not have a close kinship as it is today. Dalihan Natolu as well as real-life fundamentalism aligned with national and state life are regulated by the Pancasila as the foundation of our country.
5. Treasure may be poor, but they must be rich
If a person classified as poor in economic terms, he's not necessarily have the same status in terms of customs. Often there is a king in the indigenous people who do not finish their studies, and those that are economically must respect the traditional kings to the exclusion of economic status.6. There will return home before success.
This principle embraced by nomads Batak. Return home before successful only when the marriage ceremony family and there was a family who died, the rest there is no reason to return home before it can be brought back to the village of luxury cars, or set up a big house in the village.Hence, the ground overseas such as in Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Borneo we find the Batak people are self-employed with the aim of "success first and then return home".
7. Whatever do, which is important halal!
Being a public transportation driver metromini or microbus, tire repairman, welder, and a motorcycle taxi driver was so important lawful and not harm others. Associated with the seventh principle, it is better than unemployment perspiring halal because unemployment is a taboo upfront Batak people let alone become beggars or buskers.8. Let the goat in the village itself, but the bull overseas.
In the village to be underestimated or abused, but when overseas there is no reason to accept the same. Many people Batak successful because this motivation, first swallow bitter kampong life, now becomes tajir abroad.Do not be surprised if many of the Batak people who hold strategic positions in the government, well-known in the legal field, singing, sports, and others, all because of this principle.
9. Surname could change the fate.
I ever ride public transportation in Jakarta, I also happen to have a little money so that day I did not eat I'll be sufficient for incidentals. When in public transportation, I asked the driver which sounds Batak language, "what lae surname".Incidentally one surname with me and when I want to give the cost, he refused even forced to re-enter money to the purse.
Batak people are embarrassed about his Batak will make himself regret. There is no harm in using the surname if we really Batak.
10. Music is the medicine of stress.
If the Batak people are tired, stressed mind rather than break even pick up a guitar and sing. Any ugly voice, still it is best for him to compose himself and his mind. And indeed, after singing a few more, his mind will be back to normal and her face like a shining back.Do not be surprised if your Batak neighbors dawn at 05.00 playing the Batak songs loudly. Calm, he had no intention to offend, he just needs a little time for expression.
11. Destroyed for a friend.
Principle children Medan, terrain Batak but yes hehehe. Batak people willing to do anything for his friends, so do not ever doubt the loyalty of fellow Batak long as they do not cheat each other. The same loyalty will also be addressed to his open from Batak because in their eyes it was the same man.That is the principle that only exists inside the Batak. This principle led to differences exemplary because things above exemplifies postitif things to all men.
