One of the cultural heritages in the form of oral traditions that still persists until now is addinging-dinging rituals. This ritual was found in South Sulawesi, precisely Selayar Islands Regency. Routinely the Selayar people in Tenro perform this ritual. The implementation has also been scheduled, namely every last Monday in Muharram. Despite its peak on Monday, the Tenro community had already carried out several activities in preparation.

 

The various activities and devices used in this ritual are symbols that are born from the community itself. The symbols themselves contain the meaning and value that is the source of local wisdom.

This research is a qualitative research that uses several methods in data collection. In primary data collection, field research was carried out using recording techniques and interviews. In addition to primary data, of course secondary data is also needed to better complement this research data.

 

Based on the results of the meaning of the activities and devices used in this ritual, the local wisdom found is: appreciation to the ancestors; environmental maintenance; strengthening of a sense of solidarity; and strengthening the tradition of mutual cooperation.
