There are many versions of the legend that is circulating in the community that tells the story of Kebo Kicak. One of the legends circulating among the story of mouth stated that because it is ungodly parents, then Kebo Kicak dikutk by his parents that have a head Kebo (buffalo). Thus arose sebtan Kicak Kebo. After being condemned have kebau head with fixed-bodied man, Kebo Kicak study with a powerful clerics who mandraguna. After years of study on the religious scholars, Kebo Kicak eventually became the pious and aware of its past mistakes. Kebo Kicak has exceptional ability, both in terms of religion and magic.
At that time, in a Duchy Majapahit later called Jombang, there is a powerful robber named Surontanu. Surontanu is villain number one and the most feared by people who live around or in Jombang no single person is capable of capturing Surontanu. Once, Kebo Kicak heard of an insurrection in the community was then ordered by his teacher to membasma anger. Kebo Kicak down the mountain and stop the evil Kebo Kicak. After a few days of adventure, Kebo Kicak both managed to find Surontanu and science collide supernatural powers. The fight brlangsung lma all until Surontanu by miracle managed to get k in a swamp cane. Kebo Kicak was followed and entered into a swamp located in Jombang now. Both Surontanu and Kebo Kicak that goes into the marsh cane never to return until now.
As for the other versions of the origin of the Jombang, namely :
One other version tells that Kebo Kicak is the figure knight and bold ransacked the kingdom of Majapahit to find her real father named Patih Pangulang Universe. After Kicak Kebo met with Patih Pangulang Universe, the father filed a prerequisite for Kebo Kicak show proof that he is really his son. Proof is done by lifting the black shirt in the Brantas river so Kicak Kebo Ijo pickpocket had to fight with. After successfully proving that he was the biological child Patih Pangulang Universe, then Kicak authorized Kebo became the ruler of the West.However, lunge Kebo Kicak not stop there, high power ambitions make him willing to fight with brother seperguruannya, Surantanu. Kebo Kicak fight with Surantanu for bull fighting heritage that has been recognized as belonging Surantanu. Location bout Kebo Kicak and Surantanu move. Most areas of their bout later immortalized as the name of the area. Said that the story, the battle lasted two brothers with a vengeance. Both clashing magic to bring light green (green) and brother (red). Of merging the word green and brother appear this designation Jombang area.
Of the two versions of the origin of the Jombang above, more people who believe in the second version. Meanwhile, the word "Jombang = Ijo Abang". There are many meanings that can be used to make human and on a color or some combination thereof. In fact, other than interpreted, color element often used as a kind of instrument to mean something. Simply put, other than interpreted, color also can interpret a phenomenon. Meaning the process is also common in Jombang deep kedaerahannya symbol is represented predominantly by the colors red and green.
It was also the color of the two words appear acronym Jombang, consisting of green (green) and brother (red). Until now, both the color was believed to be the first origin of the word Jombang, stands for green and brother. In an official literary output of local government (LG) local, Monograph Jombang, green meaningful fertility as well as the attitude of devotion to God Almighty, while the brothers interpreted as daring nature, dynamic, or criticism. However, different from the "official cognition" was, of Jombang society has its own way to make sense of existence as well as their cultural backgrounds. Green represents the culture of the students, clergy, or more specifically Islam, which comes from coastal communities. While the brother is believed to represent the culture of the people abangan sensible nationalist, from the community rural and historical background Mataraman (Javanese).
Ringin Contong.
Ringin Contong (Indonesian: Banyan Tower) is a landmark that characterizes the city of Jombang. This triggers pride and boosters elements Jombang society, both located in Jombang local level and citizens already live in another city. Such as community theater Ringin Contong STKIP PGRI Jombang mengembari ludruk ITS students Tjap Toegoe Heroes. Meanwhile, residents of communities in and around Jakarta Jombang deliberately put the water tower form Ringin Contong the organization entitled Pagerijo logo, the acronym of the Society Arek Jombang (Indonesia: Kids Group Jombang).
History.
Pre 20th century.
Why Ringin Contong seen by some citizens Jombang so important as an icon of the city nicknamed these students? It's good we search Ringin Contong significance of various viewpoints.First of ethnographic studies or sourced from folklore as a wealth of folklore / traditions of collective Jombang, the story Kebokicak Coral Kejambon. Once upon a time when the pursuit Kebokicak against Surantanu and Bull Tracak Kencana which will be used as the sacrifice associated emergence pageblug / refractory disease outbreaks in the hermitage Shower Cukir, Kebokicak sheltering under giant trees. After seeing straight giant tree finally stopover place is called Ringin Contong.
Development.
Both banyan tree planted by first Jombang district head Raden Arya Duke Soeroadiningrat V or more familiarly called Kanjeng Sepuh on February 22, 1910, to coincide with the laying of the first stone gazebo Jombang district. On that date Kanjeng Sepuh once planted two banyan tree as a symbol of shelter. One kunthing banyan tree planted in front of the gazebo, while the other is planted right where Ringin Contong now.
As a reference point zero.
The third stipulation Ringin Contong as a reference point zero distance between the regions in Jombang district and inter-city downtown these students. This decision probably in line with the determination of municipal boundaries Jombang by the Dutch government which at that time was the capital of Jombang Afdeeling located in Surabaya residency. This determination is exactly what happened on 20 September 1877 which was published in the gazette no. 172 (Staatblad van Nederlandsch-Indie Besluit van den Gouverneur-Generaal van Nederlandsch-Indie van 20 September 1887 no.2 / c).Water tower built by the Dutch.
The fourth water tower built in 1929 by the Dutch government. Although the building is not ringin cone in question, but the vast majority of the water tower Jombang considers an integral part of the site Contong Ringin. Ringin position Contong at Zero Point indeed has a very valuable as the epicenter of the town of Jombang. Because zero is identical to the blank, and in the void there is awareness of the Supreme One. That is at zero, that is actually a source of strength as spoked wheels are the fulcrum on the axis point / as who is in the middle of the wheel. Ringin Contong our analogy as the axis of a wheel region called Jombang.Comparative zero reference point in other cities.
For comparison purposes is the Equator Monument in New York City which is a marker on the surface of the earth's equator, where the sun is in a straight line above the earth, so that no shadow arising from the sunlight that hits objects. Equator Monument are both at ground zero, only difference is the position and function of each. Ringin Contong in micro scale as a starting point that connects the distance between regions. While the Equator Monument is the zero point of a macrocosm called earth beneath us.Regardless of the interpretation of each person as well as elements of society in Jombang related significance of the location and the cultural heritage named Ringin Contong, it would be nice if the citizens, especially in the city's students participated uri-uri or preserve an icon of Jombang. Jombang deserve so juxtaposed with cities with a distinct identity owned. Let Jakarta has Monas, Surabaya has Tugu Pahlawan, Equator Monument Pontianak place, and Jombang proud of its Ringin Contong.
