Sumatra

It belongs to an island in Indonesia. It can also be said to be a natural museum full of strong indigenous colors. The original boat-shaped longhouse is still preserved here, and the smell of cannibal tribes can still be smelled. There are so many races and complicated languages here that there are three capitals. It is Sumatra.

Brief introduction:

Indonesia is an archipelago country composed of more than 13.000 islands, with Kalimantan, Java and Sumatra in Borneo as the largest. Sumatra is the fifth largest island in the world and a narrow island running from northwest to southeast, giving birth to three capitals: Giant Harbor in the south, Padang in the middle and Medan in the north.

Sumatra and Malay Peninsula dominate the Strait of Malacca and control the traffic between India and Taiping, which is not only geographically important, but also greatly influenced by external influences since ancient times. It is also a concentration of overseas Chinese in Indonesia. Among the more than 30 million residents, apart from Chinese, Indians and Europeans, I can be roughly divided into 10 ethnic groups. The best known are Malay, West Malengen, Garo, Tuktuk, Tumok, Simanindo, Ambari, Batak Bataks (also known as Madas), Milan Pola, Milankabao, Aceh and Nias.

Among the Indonesian islands, Sumatra is an area rich in natural resources and cultural landscape. During the Dutch colonial period, oil, rubber, coffee and pepper were all supplied. It was also home to important oil fields in Indonesia, as well as natural gas fields, so it was called the black vault. On the narrow island of Sumatra, the Pegunungan Mountains stretch almost all over the island. There are about a hundred volcanoes in these mountains, of which more than 10 are still active. The eastern part is almost all lowland swamps, across the Strait of Malacca, facing the Malay Peninsula.

Customs and people's feelings:

There are too many indigenous people in Sumatra and the language is very complex, especially the capital Medan is the most complex area in Indonesia, where primitive Malays, Madas, Aceh, Meilanpola, Chinese, Indians and Europeans live here. Mount Mada lives with the Garo tribe, one of the six major tribes of Mada [Batak]. The motor people are Christian. They like to eat dog meat and pork (B1 for dog meat and B2 for pork) and live in an Ada rooftop tin house [in the early years, the roof was covered with palm leaves]. The women here have iron head skills, and like Indonesian women, they do not use their hands, but use their heads to top things. There is also a custom here that people are buried next to their homes after death without opening another graveyard.

The roofs of most Garo buildings are hung with sheep's heads (there are also on the roof of the airport). The sheep's head is a sign of the Garo people and can ward off evil spirits. Here, the number of buffalo heads is taken as the standard for getting a wife. Because in an agricultural country, people are generally required to make a living by farming {planting upland rice} and growing fruits, so each family has at least five children, and only 10 can be considered a large family. Walking on the road, you can see not only the woman with the top of her head, but also the bus painted red and green, with people or luggage piled up on the top of the bus.
