Know the rice pounder (Jingki), the Aceh Community Traditional Puncher Tool
For some people in Aceh today is not so familiar with this traditional tool. a tool used to pound rice into rice and also pound rice into flour is part of the life of the people of Aceh before the existence of advanced technology today.
Jingki or some who call it jeungki is a traditional tool made of wood options found in the forests of Aceh used to pound rice, rice, sago and others.
Formerly, jingki almost in every house of the people of Aceh and in the month of ramadhan jingki will be busy used to process the flour for the cake at the time of the feast day. However, along with the development of the jingki era is very often not used anymore. Only Acehnese in the shelter may still use Jingki. Meanwhile, if in the city only displayed in the museum only.
Jingki's way of working is driven by the foot at a more endpoint of the passenger so that it will lift the other end and give a strong blow. At the tip of the lever is installed a skeleton consisting of 2 (two) perpendicular portions connected by a timbreal timer (drive) which makes jeungki going up and down. While at the end point to pound the dimple is used Alu (Alee in Aceh language).
The existence of Jingki used to teach the meaning of togetherness and cooperation in the team because Jingki could not operate or run if only one person. In addition, the social meaning is very closely also with the jingki. That is a bit about Jingki or Jeungki as traditional Acehnese pestle. hopefully useful.
