Symbolic Meaning, Cimbingan Tradition, Chinese Ethnicity, Decorate the Grave, Ancestral RespectAbstract
This research describes the Cimbingan tradition which is carried out once a year by visiting the
graves of ancestors and cleaning and decorating the graves. Ethnic Chinese still strongly hold
the belief to always honor ancestors, so this tradition is still carried out to this day. This research
aims to reveal three important focuses, namely: the function and meaning of each equipment
used, the worship procession of the Cimbingan tradition, and the symbolic meaning in the
Cimbingan tradition. The method used in this research is qualitative descriptif. This research uses
data collection techniques in the form of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with
primary data sources and secondary data sources. Based on the research, it can be concluded
that there is a meaning contained in each equipment used such as the meaning of candles and
incense which means as a light for the ancestors in the afterlife, besides the offerings of food and
drinks which means a form of attention from children to parents. Furthermore, afterlife money and
duplicate items made of paper which means a form of fulfilling the needs of ancestors in the
afterlife. Furthermore, the five-color paper means a form of description of the ancestors' homes
in the afterlife. In addition, there are three stages in the procession of the Cimbingan tradition
where there is a preparation stage, a prayer stage, and a closing stage. The meaning in this
tradition is a form of filial piety of children to parents, where children still remember and show
attention to parents even though parents are gone.
