Abstract

This study examined Cembengan as an implementation of the Nebu sauyun concept in the tradition of giling tebu (milling sugarcane) at the Tasikmadu Sugar Factory (PG), Karanganyar, Central Java. The concept of Nebu sauyun can be found in Cembengan. This concept is the result of the thought of Prince Sambernyawa (Mangkunegara I). His thought is based on the principle of harmony as his efforts to uphold the existence of Pura Mangkunegaran. On the other hand, Mangkunegara IV as the successor to power also applies the principle of harmony, one of which is through the economic development field in the context of realizing the people welfare. The problem found was how the principles of harmony can be implemented internally and externally through Cembengan. This problem was examined through literature study using a cultural studies approach. The data obtained were processed through historical analysis. The results of this study found that Cembengan is a form of assimilation of the grave pilgrimage culture between Chinese and Javanese. In its development, this tradition extends to the preservation of temanten tebu rituals and traditional arts.
