It is said that Bude Trieng is not a toy, although it is now played by children.
In the past, Bude Trieng was a weapon to deceive the arbitrary Dutch colonials into Aceh, the sound of the boom of Bude Trieng so loud that the occupiers thought that the fighters possessed such sophisticated weapons.
As a result, when the Dutch heard the bang of Bude Trieng, they ran away from where they originally wanted to be attacked.
Acehnese shrewdness in war, deserves thumbs up, they have a million ways to make the Dutch fog, Bude Trieng one example.
Now Bude Trieng is a children's toy ahead of Idul Fitri, a few nights before Lebaran, Bude Trieng boom has been heard in the villages in Aceh.
The people of Aceh usually burns Bude Trieng beside the river stream or irrigation, so the explosion sounds louder and the sound of the explosion can be heard along the river. Genius is not it?
Although burning Bude Trieng is not a recommendation, but whose name is customary, inevitably must still be executed.
