History
Red and white colors taken from the color of the flag state of Majapahit Kingdom. Actually it is not only a kingdom of Majapahit who wore a red and white flag as a symbol of greatness. Before the Majapahit, the kingdom of Kediri was wearing a red and white pennants. In addition, the flag of war Sisingamangaraja IX of the Batak lands were wearing red and white as color flag, bearing the twin swords with the basic white color light red and white. Red and white colors are the flag war Sisingamangaraja XII. The two swords symbolize the twin Piso style of densely packed, heritage of kings Sisingamangaraja I-XII. when the war in Aceh, the fighters in Aceh have been using the flag of war banners in red and white, in the back of the image applied to the sword, crescent , the sun, and stars as well as several verses in the Quran. At the time of the Bugis kingdom of Bone, South Sulawesi before Sporting Palakka, Red and White flag, a symbol of power and greatness of the kingdom's Bone Bone. Flag Bone was known by the name Woromporang. At the time of the Java war (1825-1830 AD) Prince Diponegoro was wearing a red banner of white in its struggle against the Dutch. Then, the colors of the revived by students and then the nationalists in the early 20th century as an expression of nationalism against the Dutch. Red-white flag used for the first time in Java in 1928. Under colonialism, the flag was forbidden to use. It was adopted as the national flag on August 17, 1945, when independence was declared and has been used since then as well.
The color meanings
Flag of Indonesia has a philosophical meaning. Red means courage, white means purity. Red symbolizes the human body, while white symbolizes the human soul. Both are complementary and perfect for Indonesia.In terms of history, since time immemorial both red and white color contains a sacred meaning. Color red color similar to the Java sugar / palm sugar and white color similar to rice. Both these materials is the main ingredient in the cuisines of Indonesia, especially in Java. When the victorious kingdom of Majapahit in the archipelago, the banner color used is red and white (white banners brother). Since the first red and white colors are used by the Javanese for salvation ceremonies content was four months after the baby in the womb in the form of porridge fed some red dye. Javanese people believe that pregnancy begins from the merging of red elements as symbols of the mother, the blood that spilled when the baby is born, and white as a symbol of the element's father, who planted in the cave garba.
Another Philosophy
"In one occasion, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X on his meeting with the student in Literature, Monash University states that:"
Red-White Flag, according to Sultan, has a long historical sequence. Not only products August 17, 1945, but the product since XII century during the time in Palembang and Singasari Sriwijya to the Mataram era, known as the flag of "Sugar Klapa". For the Javanese, continued the Sultan, the Red-White flags are like a dagger, which is the personification of self-owner. For it later emerged the trust, the Red-White flag should not be placed on the ground. "Despite the fact it does not matter, but people obviously Java is not going to do that. Especially if the Red-White burned," he said.
Whereas in the Java community at the event slametan, Tumpengan and special celebration, there is grain Sengkala Porridge (Congee glutinous Red - White) comprises: White Porridge, Porridge Red, White Porridge in the middle of the Red, White Porridge Red in the middle. Containing Philosophy: the same as mentioned above, the White means the origin of life, ie, before man was born from Sana, then there is the World / Earth (red) man's place of birth, through meetings "Father" and "Mother" we exist, the symbols therein White Red (when Mother contains no red dot / fetus us, then when we are born we have to be human in the holy spirit, symbolized: Red White therein.
If in China has been known Yin-Yang symbol for thousands of years ago, which meant something more akin to the Red and White, then the symbol of our nation also has a Red and White, which means that the Indonesian people have a holistic view, of the macrocosm and Microkosmos Life is very religious which is evidently written by Nature.
Red White And understand, means understanding that in the philosophical meaning of the Meaning of Life is a Symbol, Spirit, Soul Indonesian nation.
"(Excerpt Sumardjo Jakob writing):Prof. Moh Yamin on the book "6000 Years Sang Saka Merah Putih" which was never reprinted since 1958, reviewed:"
* Explained, red and white symbol of the sun as a symbol of the moon. Red and white mean "the substance of life." Not only explained the meaning of "substance of life." This book wants to prove, Red and White has become a symbol of the Indonesian people since their arrival in the archipelago 6,000 years ago.
* The meaning of red and white is not enough that is collected from the archaeological traces of red, white, and black can be found at various prehistoric relics, temples, and traditional houses. The artefacts were only the expression of collective mind tribes in Indonesia. So, archeology collective mind these are to be dug out and signed authority-cultural anthropology or anthropology-art. Such minds can still be found in the environment of indigenous peoples to the present.
The Orientalist has accused the nation color blind in the midst of rich natural colors. Really this nation color blind? Or this nation is more spiritual than modern humans with a more worldly worship of different colors that seemed limitless?
* Nature of spiritual and worldly
More spiritual essence of nature, simpler, more singular. While the more mundane existential nature, complex, and pluralistic. Indonesian nation premodern view life from a spiritual rather than worldly direction. This is why the use of simple color symbols to a single direction. If called color-blind, meaning blind carnal, but spiritual wealth.
* These differences essentially seen only on the basic difference, namely men and women. All things known to man can only be categorized in-antagonistic dualism, male-female. The sun was male, female months. And tens of thousands of other categories.
* The separation of "man" - "woman" was not good because it will be impotent. Potential or "living substance" emerging dualistic if couples were diharmonikan, mated, ditunggalkan. That's why the single red and white to duumvirate. One but two, two, but single. Duumvirate red-white to the potential, the substance of life.
* Harmony rather than synthesis. Synthesis of red-white is pink. Indonesia remained the Red and White Flag, duumvirate. Differences in the synthesis is not recognized because the two disappeared into one. Unity in Diversity does not mean a plural into a single entity. Fixed plural plural, only a matter of life ditunggalkan. A contradiction, paradox, which is illogical according to the modern mind.
* In the modern mind, you should choose a red or white or pink. Man or woman or a transvestite. In the minds of premodern Indonesia, three of them recognized that there is, red, white, pink. Pink is the Sole, paradoxically, Substance of Life, because it essentially Paradox Yang Tunggal. If all this comes from the singles, and if all of this dualistic, Yang Tunggal contain both absolute paradox aka human incomprehensible. But that's Substance of Life which allows everything is there.
* The Single is metaphysical, the potential, being. The singles that made the Self-plural (Becoming) in various dualistic pair. This monistik thoughts and emanations, across from the minds Samawi religions. It must be remembered, red and white has 6000 years old, long before the great religions into the archipelago.
* The color of red, white and black in prehistoric stones, temples, the banner of war. "White" is a symbol of the sky or the World Over, "Red" a symbol of the human world, and "Black" symbol of the Earth or the Underworld. The colors were a symbol of the cosmos, the colors of the three worlds.
* Nature of mind is only appeared in the agricultural community. Their obsession is the growth of crops (rice, pulses) for the purpose of human life. New plants grow if there is harmony between heaven and earth, between the rain and soil. Between white and black so that it appears red. This can lead to a farm community in Indonesia "color blind".
* Blind no such color-woven fabrics, batik fabrics, Asmat shields, custom home decorations. Although essentially a white tricolor, red, black, translations may vary. White to yellow. Black to blue or dark blue. Red to brown. That's the colors of Indonesia.
* Life and death
Australian anthropologist, Penelope Graham, in his research in East Flores (1991) found red and white meaning somewhat different. Red and white colors associated with the blood. Their phrase, "blood does not equal", there are white blood and red blood. Human white blood was cold and the hot red blood. The white blood substance of living and dead red blood substances. Human white blood brings new life, birth. Red blood brought death.
* Blood poured from the white men and women lead a new life, but red blood poured from the men and women meant death. This meaning is likely to restore the red and white for women and for men, because only men who fought. Maybe this is the relationship between red and courage. Red is bold (defense of life) and white is sacred because it contains "the substance of life."
* Why is red above and white below? Why is not reversed? Is not that red and white human nature Overworld? Bold red (dead) and white is alive? The red man and white women? Red and white sun and the moon? Red hot and cold white? That is, sky-white-women support the human-red-man. Human origin is from heaven. Human roots above. That sangkan-direction, the origin and end of life. Reverse banyan waringin breech. Empty the contents came from. Immanence of the transcendent. Red comes from white, male from female.
* Obviously, the Red-White from primordial thinking of Indonesia. Red-white "substance of life", potential, paradoxical forces that balance all things: a potent impotent, helpless to full power, become infertile, infertility, lack of a sufficiency, the sick were healed. Red and white are the hope of salvation. He is his own powers, a single positive and negative.
* Who determines the Red-White as a symbol of Indonesia? Is he emerged from the nation's collective unconscious? Emerged from the depths of intuition arkeotip nation? We do not know, because red and white for granted as a condition of modern nation to have the mark of nationality.
So do you take for granted that white-red flag did not come from just a color, so many historical traces of red and white became a symbol of the nation and the Country, Indonesia.
Red-White is the soul of Indonesia ....
