Java my childhood memories, my home

Rice fields

My childhood in the countryside of Java is a treasure trove of memories. Growing up there was an unforgettable experience. My long-lost friends and I used to have so much fun playing in the rice fields with buffaloes. We would hunt for fish and fruits in the jungle, and when the rain poured down, we would light a fire and stay inside an uncovered hut in the middle of the rice field, cooking the fish and corn we had gathered. The warmth of the fire and the company of friends made those rainy days special. I really miss those moments.

Java is the most populated island in the world, governed by Indonesia. This island holds a special place in my heart as it is the homeland of my ancestor, mother, father, and myself, at least until I moved to the capital after finished high school. The cultural and governmental distinctions between Java and the rest of Indonesia are quite significant, and I'd like to share some of these differences with you.

First and foremost, the language. Javanese is completely different from Bahasa Indonesia, which is a variant of Malay. While both languages share an Austronesian common ancestor, they have evolved separately over thousands of years. This divergence is fascinating, especially considering historical kingdoms like Srivijaya, which had close linguistic ties to both Malay and Javanese.

Another key distinction is in the realm of traditional spiritual teachings. The ancient Javanese spiritual practices, once a cornerstone of the island's cultural identity, have nearly vanished in modern times. These teachings have merged with Islam, the dominant tradition in Java today. It's primarily the elderly who still retain knowledge of these ancient beliefs.

Music is another area where Java stands out. The gamelan, a traditional ensemble music form, reflects a blend of influences from Chinese and Indian cultures, yet it is deeply rooted in Javanese tradition. This music is a testament to Java's historical openness to external influences while maintaining its unique cultural identity.

These distinctions are just a few examples of what makes Java such a unique and rich cultural landscape. There is so much more to explore and understand about this incredible island, from its history to its traditions and beyond.
