INTRODUCTION
The study of language subject
we also deal with ideogram as our material in this second
semester . Oxford dictionary
definition said that the
ideogram is a symbol used in writing system that represent the idea, rather
than the sound forming the name of a thing . and from web search An ideogram or ideograph
(from Greek ἰδέα idea
"idea" + γράφω grafo "to write") is a graphic
symbol
that represents an idea
or concept. Some ideograms are comprehensible only by familiarity with prior
convention; others convey their meaning through pictorial resemblance to a
physical object
why did i choose
Analyzing the state symbol of
Indonesia ? Because, I realize that almost the
citizen of Indonesia do not know
or forget what the real meaning of our state symbol
. We know if we have short knowledge
about our symbol of state it will give little effect in understanding our
country which in the fact has a great moral message from the symbol means. To
summarize up the reasons which be mentioned above, I decide to choose it or
analyze it as my title to fulfill my final project in Linguistic subject.
We
all knew what is the symbol of our country ,are not we ? Yes, the Garuda
bird. But,
perhaps still a
lot of curiosity, why we never find it in the zoo.
Garuda bird is similar to an eagle. But the eagle is a fictional character which is exists only in the world of puppets or fairy tale. The
figure of Garuda appears in the
epic Ramayana and Garudeya story.
How is the short
history why
it is become a symbol of our country?
Both the Garuda and the eagle are a mighty bird that is often used as a
symbol of the state. Since 1989 for example, Jakarta set bondol eagle as a symbol of
Jakarta City ,there are also Haliaetus leucocephalus eagle or hawk which is
became a symbol of the United States
because of his mighty, and it big size.
In Europe there is also a white-tailed sea
eagle. His body is more muscular, with a wing expanse of 2.5 m. the
flap of
his wing has a tremendous power. he was
hunting prey, it flies without wings flap.
From the high ground, he spun round
and round, then dived rapidly .toward the prey as he thrust forward his nail.because of
his Greatness pushed the Germans to chose the white-tailed
sea eagle as a symbol of the country, until now
The story of valor and white-tailed sea eagle that had spread
to the west coast of India. His courageous to reattack the enemy
also spreated by poet of India in the past .So,
in their stories
they make, eagles
also appear as ResiGaruda.
According to the story, the Garuda is a vehicle commonly used by
Batara Vishnu.
From
this
Indian
myth,
the javaness poet Dharmawansa
Anantawikrama Uttunggadewa knew
and
spreaded the
name of the
eagle
in
East
Java
in
991-1016 ,Although
they did not see
the
own form
of the
bird, they
had
imagined and immortalize it as relief tample of Kedaton and Kidal.
And it really immortalize as Arca Airlangga (the anchestri of wisnu)in
Belahan tample.
since
the proclamation the independence
of Indonesia
in
1945 Garuda is
depicted as
a whole
. His
head was
turned
to the
right
like
all
other
countries
eagle
emblem ,
But,
he
carried
a shield
containing
the emblems
of Pancasila,
the amount of his feather swing are 17,
his tail feathers are 8,
the tail feathers under shield are 19,
and the small feathers on his neck are 45,
This is very precise
with the independence day of Republic of Indonesia, his feet extend the benner of javaness ancient "Bhineka
Tunggal Ika", which means unity in diversity
(from many sourching)*
Ø The
shield that put like necklase it is simbolize as the fortress of Indonesi .On
this
shield
contains
five
symbols which
each
symbol
represents
the precepts
of the
"basic
state"
ideology.(Pancasila).
v The
center
,there
are five-angled
star
symbol
that
symbolizes
the first
precepts
of “Belief in the one and only God”.Star emblem is intended as a light like
a God who became a light for human spirituality.While
the black
background it
symbolizes the
natural or
original
color ,
which
shows
that
God
is not
just a
human
invention but
the source
of
everything and has been there before all things
in this world exists.
v In
the right bottom there is a chain that
symbolizes the second precepts of Pancasila “Just and civilized humanity”. The chain consists of a rectangular-shaped chain
and ring
which relate to each other in a circle.
Rectangular chain symbolizes male, while the circle symbolizes women.The Interrelated
chain
which
also
symbolizes
that
every
human being,
male
and
female,
need
each
other
and
need to
unite
to become
strong
like
a
chain.
v At
the
top right
there is
a picture
of banyan
tree
that
symbolizes
the thirth precepts of Pancasila “TheUnity of Indonesia “,
the banyan tree is used
because it is a big tree where many people can take shelter under of it , Like all the people of Indonesia can
"shelter" under the auspices of the Indonesian state .In
addition, the banyan
tree
has
shoots
and
roots
that
spread
everywhere,
but still come from the same tree, as well as ethnic diversity
united in the name of Indonesia.
v Then,
on the left top is a picture of the bull's head that symbolizes the fourth precepts of Pancasila “Led by the wisdom of populist
policies in the Consultative and Representative.
The bull's head is used because it is
social animals who like gathering by each other, as
well as
meetings
where
people
have
gathered
to
discuss
something.
v The left bottom there are rice and cotton which symbolize the five
precepts of Pancasila “Social Justice
For
All
people of
Indonesia”
Rice and cotton are used because it
is a basic need of every human being ,as like food
and
clothing
as
the main requirement,
to achieve the prosperity which is
the main destination for these fifth precepts.
v On the
shield
there is
a thick
black line
across
the middle
shield ,That line
represents
the equator
who
cross
through the
territory of Indonesia.
Red
and
white
that
become
the background
on the
shield
it
is
Indonesia's national
colors,
,
which
is also
the
color of
the
flag
of Indonesia.
The red symbolizes
bravery,
while
white
symbolizes
purity.
At
the bottom"Unity
in Diversity" which
was written
with
Latin letters,
which
is the
motto of
the Indonesian state
of the
Garuda
Pancasila,
there
are
gripped by
a white
ribbon,
that reads
“
BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA “ is a
word
in the
Old Javanese
language
which
means
"unity
in diversity”.
These words
were
taken
from the
MPU
Tantular
Kakimpoi
Sutasoma
essay,
a
poet
from the
kingdom of
Majapahit
in
the 14th century.
That Words are describe the unity and integrity of Indonesian
nation which consisting of many islands, race, tribe, nation, customs, culture,
language, and religion.
Conclusion
every
symbols that include as ideogram which every symbols meaning refer to our
background knowledge than every symbols have own meaning that related to it
symbol and history of it determination.
When
I knew or after finding out more clearly the meaning of Garuda symbol and all
of symbols in it, they have close meaning with the function of the thing which
have been illustration as a symbol and the history of the symbol is very
suitable
After reading or analyze the means
of the symbol can increase our nationalism as the citizen of Indonesia.
