Tuwoh: The Way of Life and Local Wisdom of Palm Sugar Collector in the Charang Sub-district, Yaring, Pattani

2023-04-07T14:46:05+07:00

The research aimed to study palm sugar collectors' way of life and local wisdom in the Charang sub-district, Yaring district, Pattani Province. It is qualitative research. The sample consisted of eight agriculturists with one year's experience harvesting and producing palm sugar. The research tools were semi-structured interviews and participant observations. This article examined the data using both content analysis and descriptive analytics.
The findings of this study revealed that 1) the lifestyle of palm sugar collectors aligns with Islamic principles, known as "Tawakkal to Allah." These principles include delegating all tasks to God, leading a self-sufficient life, leveraging community resources to establish a career for family support, and fostering interdependence among neighbors by sharing food and
possessions. 2) This study can identify four key factors that contribute to the wisdom of palm sugar collectors: 1) The fresh sugars are presented from spoiling-they place Takian sticks at the bottom of the cylinder and pack them in a bamboo tube; 2) They immerse the palm sugars in mud in the field, preventing the palm trees from sending glucose to the flowers and allowing them to flow naturally; 3) They gather the ashes from the stove that boils the palms and place them on top of the palm trees to extract more sugar from the bunches; and 4) A traditional cleaning method involves blanching the cylinder to clean and disinfect it. As a result, palm collectors, whose livelihoods depend on natural resources and local knowledge, rely on palm trees as a bridge to foster relationships within their community.

Representation of Confucianism’ Li in “Beijing Quadrangle”

2024-03-05T11:30:25+07:00

This academic article discusses how "Siheyuan" – also known as the Beijing Quadrangle–symbolizes the significance of "li," the Chinese tradition system that aligns with Confucian philosophy. It is an important mechanism for organizing a hierarchical society with varying statuses, genders, and ages so that the residents can live harmoniously and balance under the same roof by planning a house called Siheyuan. The concept of "li" is reflected in the Siheyuan architecture through the plan of houses arranged in a
hierarchical pattern concerning the residents' different statuses, roles, duties, genders, and ages. The arrangement of the internal space of the residences, including size, form, position, and direction, indicates and organizes their residents in positions consistent with the residents' roles and responsibilities defined by Chinese social relations. The highest rank of the establishment is the main house, which serves as an ancestor worshipping place and a
residence of male homeowners; whereas, sons lived in the eastern and western side houses. As for daughters, they lived in the smaller house
located in the most inner area. The servants lived in the inverted house in the outer area, where they had the lowest living conditions. The
arrangement of the buildings within Siheyuan reflects a stratified society in which men had power over women, elders had more power than their
subordinates, and masters had power over their servants. The important status of each person in the family is not only reflected in the layout of the Siheyuan houses but also in other elements such as the roof style, the size and height of the buildings and rooms, and their decorations. Compliance with patterns corresponding to the different residences' statuses brings
harmony in society and family with a class system under the patriarchal concept of feudalism, the foundation that has fostered stability for Chinese society and culture up to the present.
