Local Wisdom in the Adding-dinging Ritual of the Tenro Community in Selayar Islands Regency, South Sulawesi

One of the cultural heritages in the form of oral tradition that still survives until now is addinging-dinging rituals. This ritual was found in South Sulawesi, precisely in Selayar Islands Regency. Regularly the Selayar people in Tenro perform this ritual. The implementation has also been scheduled, i.e. every last Monday in Muharram. Despite its peak on Monday, the Tenro community has carried out several activities before as preparation for preparation. Various activities and devices used in this ritual are symbols that are born from the community itself. The symbol itself contains the meaning and value that can be created as a source of local wisdom. This research is qualitative research that uses several methods in data collection. In primary data collection, field research was carried out using recording and interview techniques. In addition to primary data, of course secondary data is also needed to better complement this research data. Based on the results of the meanings of the activities and devices used in this ritual, the local wisdom found is: appreciation to the ancestors; maintain survival, preserve the environment; strengthen a sense of solidarity; and strengthen the tradition of mutual cooperation.
