Synopsis of The Ruler of Han Dinasty: Minahasan Ancestors
The Ancestors of Minahasa
Fantastic!!! Yes, the book you’re reading right now opens the dark veil of ancestors of Minahasa. The author will guide you step by step to trace back the original identity of Minahasan people.
Using historical comparative linguistic and by understanding the technique/the way of reading Pin Yin, the author will accompany readers to understand so many important words in Minahasan Language, which were not only absorbed language, but in truth were originated from Chinese language, that had changed not only in structures and forms, but its syllables still indicates the words of origin. In some cases, it had changed in forms, syllables and meanings, due to influence of other languages.
The readers will be amazed and touched when hearing and understanding the content and context of The Song of Karema (sang by Tonaas Walian in traditional ritual ceremonies), containing big secret about deep and undivided soul connection between children offspring and their ancestors who were warriors and nobles of Han Raya Dynasty. The secret is connected to stories of civil wars in China, causing a tragedy of separations between childrens and parents.
Using etno-socio linguistic approach, the author proves that there are so many Minahasan words and expressions of family names, locations, ancient ritual song prayers, etc., that can be traced back in the matter of its origin and context, particularly in language and history of Han empire dynasty in China, until third century AD, namely the era of Three Countries civil war, San Guo (Sam Kok).
The author also tells stories about social sphere in palaces in the era of Han Dynasty, with its various leading figures including their roles. Dramatic and touching. Between loyalty and betrayal, moral bravery and compromise for the sake of self-interest, sacrifice and fear….heartbreaking stories behind family separations.
Written by an autodidact outside academic tradition. This work is precisely original and disclosed from the heart with high degree scientific verification. So many findings proved by the author, even it can not be disputed. Through various test in campus pulpits in academic world, and in public world, the findings get serious attention and enthusiasm, even from leading figures in academic field, including a professor in ethnumusicology, Profesor Perry Rumengan, who was amazed and dumbfounded by this book.
He was the first academic who has initiative to organize scientific activities in campuses and public society, in order give promotion to these great findings. Prof. Perry also promote efforts of policy makers to make revisions and corrections in general scientific knowledge and understanding of mythology about Minahasa that so far is still a mystery.
These findings can become a review and reflection about Indonesia in modern era in the context of the past and future. In the ideal concept, The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, with its motto, “Bhineka Tunggal Ika,” proclaimed by minority and majority groups, immigrants, indigenous, and other sociological terms, is worth to be questioned further regarding its nature and benefits.
