Cleaver is a tool that reflects the critical acumen and power in life also symbolizes the strength and courage to protect the rights and truth. Is characteristic, both as weapons, agricultural tools, symbol, ornament, or souvenirs.
According Trance siksakandang karesian Canto XVII, Cleaver is the weapon of the farmers and agriculture has its roots in the culture of Sundanese people.

Description. 

Cleaver is known as a traditional thing people of West Java (Sunda) which has a sacred value as well as having magical powers. Some researchers claim that the term "Cleaver" is derived from the word kudihyang (kudi and Hyang).
Cleaver (also) comes from the word Ujang, which means man or to human. Humans are powerful as King Siliwangi.
Kudi is taken from the ancient Sundanese means weapons that have magic power magic, as a talisman, as repellent reinforcements, for example, to dispel enemies or avoid danger / disease. These weapons are also stored as an heirloom, which is used to protect the home from danger by putting them in a crate or a specific place in the house or by putting it on a bed (Hazeu, 1904: 405-406). Meanwhile, Hyang can be equated with the notion of God in some mythology, but for the people of Sunda Hyang has a meaning and a notch above the Gods, this is reflected in the doctrine of "Dasa Prebakti" which is reflected in the text of Torture Trance Kanda Karesian Ng mentioned "Gods of consecrated in hyang ".
In general, Kujang had understanding as heirloom that has a certain strength that comes from the gods (= Hyang), and as a weapon, from earlier today Kujang occupies a very special position in the community of West Java (Sunda). As an emblem or symbol with niali-philosophical values ​​contained therein, Kujang used as one of the few aesthetic emblem as well as government organizations. In addition, Kujang was also used as a name of various organizations, unity and of course also used by the provincial government of West Java.
In the past Kujang can not be separated from public life because of its function as a Sundanese agricultural equipment. This statement is contained in a codex Torture Trance Kanda Karesian Ng (1518 AD) and the oral tradition that developed in several areas including Rancah area, Kudat. The evidence reinforces the claim that Cleaver as farm equipment we can still see today in Baduy, Banten and Pancer Pangawinan in Sukabumi.
"All kinds of forging, there are three different kinds. Prabu is the Weapon: sword, abet (whip), Pamuk, machetes, teundeut pesos, dagger. Giant who made his god, because it is used to kill. Weapons the farmer is: Cleaver, baliung, homeopathic, kored, tapping knife. Detya who made his god, because it used to take what can be tasted and drunk. Weapons pastor is: when Katri, expression pesos, pesos dongdang, Pangot, pakisi. Danawa who made his god, as used to cut off everything, That's three different types of weapons on the prabu, the farmer and pastor. So if we want to know it all, ask the blacksmith. "
- Trance siksakanda ng karesian Canto XVII.
With the development progress, technological, cultural, social and economic Sundanese people, Kujang also experienced growth and shift shape, function and meaning. From an agricultural equipment, cleaver developed into an object that has its own character and tends to be a valuable weapon symbolic and sacred. The new form of the cleaver as we know at this time expected to be born between 9th century to the 12th century.

Kujang parts. 

Characteristics of a cleaver has tajaman side and part names, among others: papatuk / congo (which resembles an arrow tip Cleaver), eluk / reparation (the indentation on the back), cistern (arch prominent on the abdomen) and the eyes (small holes covered with metal gold and silver). In addition to form a very unique material characteristics tend to be thin cleaver, the material is dry, porous and contains many natural metal elements.
In Bogor Pantun as told by Anis Djatisunda (996-2000), Cleaver has a variety of functions and forms. Based on the function, Cleaver divided among four others: Kujang Heritage (emblem of grandeur and safety protection), Kujang Pakarang (to fight), Kujang Pangarak (as a ceremony) and Kujang Pamangkas (as a farming tool). While based on the shape of the bar there called Kujang Jago (like the shape of a rooster), Kujang Ciung (like a bird Ciung), Kujang egrets (herons resemble birds / bango), Kujang rhino (rhinoceros resembles), Kujang dragon (mythological animal resembling a dragon) and Cleaver Kuhl (like frogs). Besides, there is also a typology cleaver-shaped blade with a leather puppet heroine as a symbol of fertility.

Mythology. 

According to the old man there who gives a very noble philosophy of the Kujang as;
Ku-Jang-ji rek neruskeun padamelan sepuh karuhun urang
Janji untuk meneruskan perjuangan sepuh karuhun urang/ nenek moyang yaitu menegakan cara-ciri manusa dan cara ciri bangsa. What is it?

Na Yuda Wiwaha Goods ("Koran Agency".
How are 5 qualities Nations;
Arts;
Bases,
Indigenous,
Literacy,
Culture
Actually there are many implicit philosophy of Kujang which is not just a weapon for defeating the enemy in time of war or just used as another tool.

History Form Kujang. 

Kujang value as a talisman or amulet, first appeared in the history of the Kingdom of Padjadjaran Makukuhan and Panjalu. Precisely during the reign of King Kudo Lalean (also called King Horse Lelean on the ground and the Kingdom of Sunda Panjalu Kudat). King Horse Lelean / Kudo Lalean also known as Bunisora ​​and Hyang Guru in Jampang for being a recluse or hermit who qualified in Jampang (Sukabumi).
Since then, Kujang gradually kings and nobles used it as a symbol of the Kingdom of authority and supernatural powers. One time, Prabu Kudo Lalean doing penance somewhere. Prabu the sudden inspiration to redesign Kujang form, which has been used as an agricultural tool.
Surprisingly, the latest design which is in the King's mind, shaped like the island of "Java Dwipa", which is known as the island of Java in the present.
After receiving that inspiration, immediately commissioned Mpu prabu Kudo Lalean Supo Windu, a blacksmith of the royal family. He was asked to make a blade like the one in the mind of the King. Initially, Mpu Windu Supo upset about the form of weapons must be made. So before doing the work, Mpu Windu Supo meditation, prabu telescoped nature of the mind.  Finally, it can be a shadow in such a neighbor prototype ( prototype ) such weapons had in mind Kudo Lalean .
After the meditation was over, Mpu Windu Supo start work. With magical touches enriched values ​​of spiritual philosophy, then so be a weapon that has a high strength. This is a unique Kujang shape, and becomes a powerful magical object. This weapon has 2 pieces of the striking characteristics. The shape resembles Java and there are 3 holes in a spot on the blade. This is a weapon that the next generation is always associated with the Kingdom of Padjadjaran Makukuhan.
Java itself is a form of philosophy of the ideals of the King, to unite the small kingdoms of Java into an empire headed by the King of Padjadjaran Makukuhan. While the three holes in the blade symbolizes the Trimurti, or three aspects of the Godhead of the Hindu religion, which was also observed by Kudo Lalea. Three aspects of the Godhead refers to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. Hindu Trinity (Trimurti) also represented three major kingdoms of the time. Kingdoms, among others Pengging Wiraradya, which is located in the eastern part of Java; Kambang White Kingdom, which is located in the northern part of Java, and the Kingdom of Padjadjaran Makukuhan, located in the West.
Kujang develop further shape the next generation . Different models have sprung up . When the growing influence of Islam in society , Kujang have experienced their shape resembles the Arabic letter " Syin " . This is an attempt of Pasundan region , namely King Kian Santang ( known also by the name of King Borosngora , and Bunisora ​​Suradipati of royal Panjalu ) , which intends clicking for conversion Pasundan people . Finally Kujang nuanced philosophy of Hindu culture and religion of the past , have been reinvented in accordance with the teachings of Islamic philosophy . Syin itself is the first letter in rhyme ( sentence ) creed in which every man will testify one God and Muhammad as his messenger . By delivering sentences creed and faith in the hearts of this , then every human being automatically converted to Islam .
Manifestations of Islamic values ​​in Kujang arms are extending the blade conform to the shape of the letter Syin. Cleaver latest model should be able to remind the owner with his loyalty to Islam and its teachings. Five holes in Kujang has replaced the meaning of Trimurti. The fifth hole symbolizes the 5 pillars of Islam (pillars of Islam). Since then the model Kujang describe two styles blend designed Kudo Lalean King and King Kian Santang. However Kujang authority as full heirloom weapon "other powers" and could give certain powers to its possessor, remain attached.
During its development, Kujang weapons no longer used by kings and nobility. Ordinary people also often use the same Kujang like the king and nobles. In the Sundanese people, Kujang often seen on display as decorating the house.
It is said that there is a kind of belief that relates to luck , protection , honor , dignity and other . However , there is one thing that should never be done . Namely Kujang display in pairs on the wall with a sharp blade next to the line of sight . It is a taboo or prohibition . Moreover , one should not take a shot of him standing between two Kujang in that position . Reportedly , this will cause the death of that person within 1 year , but no more could be less .

Did You Know About Bats.

Maybe you only know the name, but do not know what it is and how to bat. Bats are flying mammals that can be derived from the order Chiroptera with both front legs evolved into wings. Bats are nocturnal animals, also called nocturnal animals.

Bats .

Due to activity on the prowl at night bats difficult to use eyesight and bats use radar waves to be ultarsonik . Mechanism fruit bat radar to monitor the environment more sophisticated than previously thought by scientists .
In an article in ScienceDaily , a research team led by Nachum Ulanovsky of the Weizmann Institute of Israel and Cynthia Moss of the University of Maryland reported that Egyptian fruit bats ( Rousettus aegyptiacus ) adapt to the complex environment using two tactics .
That is, changing the beam width of the sound waves, similar to the mechanism of human vision eyes adjust the focal point to see specific things, and change the emission intensity of the sound waves.
It is obtained Ulanovsky and the team after testing five Egyptian fruit bats to locate and land on a mango-shaped plastic that is placed in various locations, dark conditions, given a snag in the form of nets, and supported 20 voice recorder microphone.
A recent study also conducted a biologist at the University of Southern Denmark called the bat as the first mammal known to have a super-fast muscle. The muscles that often makes the creature known in Indonesia as the 'bat' that can hunt down meal.
Super fast muscle is located in the throat and make it able to generate bat echolocation. Echolocation is a process in which
issued bat sound waves and the waves bounce back after hitting her prey.
When bats are closer to the prey, he will issue a 160 'calls' per second. This phenomenon is called 'terminal buzz'. The discovery of super-fast muscle is so explanation of why bats can issue a call that much in a very short time.
This is remarkable because the muscular part of the group (animals) are very rare. However, super-fast muscle it only allows calls only within certain limits. However, it is enough for bats to gather information about prospective prey.
To be able to produce this conclusion, Elemans and several colleagues conducted an experiment with a type of Daubenton's bat. Bats were released in a large cage filled with worms that have been hanging on a thin wire.
From there it can be seen how the pattern of the bat in catching prey. Including the resulting sound waves to determine the exact location of the prey.
In addition, bats are one of the mammalian order that acts as a biological control of malaria spread of livestock diseases and arthropods spreader.
"The tail can bat more than 500 fish prey on insects in one night, so it is conceivable that a bat colony consists of 10,000 head could take five million heads of insects every night," said Bat experts from LIPI Biology Research Center, Prof. Dr. Ibn Maryanto Ris , in Bogor, West Java, on Monday.

Bats catch prey. 

Ibn said , the loss of bat populations can threaten the outbreak of malaria . Given the presence of bats is very important for the balance of the ecosystem and useful for human life .
The current condition of Indonesian population numbers dwindling bat habitat destruction due to bat.
In Indonesia there are 225 kinds of bats which consists of 77 types of fruit eaters and play a role in pollination, the remaining 148 types of insect eaters that are not directly help people in eradicating pests and diseases.
Bats with the main feed insects majority live in the cave, foraging at night to use his echolocation, so as to catch prey such as insects slightest very easily.
Continued increase in the population of Indonesia resulted in increased pressure on natural resources.
"Forest area causing dwindling bat population from Megachiroptera group also decreased," Ibnu said.
Habitat destruction and limestone karst area that is habitat for bats has threatened extinction of the creatures of the night.
"Karst became prime bat habitat. Exploitation for purposes of industrial limestone caves which destroys almost all karst in Indonesia led to the extinction of the types of bats, "Ibnu said.
In addition, the conversion of forests to plantations and agricultural areas are also the cause of declining bat populations in the wild, due to the loss of food resources and perch.
Large-scale use of insecticides in agriculture threatens the existence of insectivorous bats food sources and can also indirectly cause a decrease in population.
"Maintaining habitat is essential for maintenance of the animal population. Disruption to the ecosystem of the cave will cause ecological balance of the process is interrupted so that the impact on humans, "he said.
According to Ibn, the government must prevent the destruction of biota mining limestone cave due to industrial use.
Due to the impact of the extinction of cave fauna can affect a wider area outside the cave. Insect pests such as rising population, declining production of commercial fruit bats and services that are indirectly supported limestone cave bat habitat.
"Efforts to conserve the types of bats are very important, and should be done in earnest, given the role of bats is very valuable for ecological processes that are beneficial to humans," said Ibnu.
Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Looks like a little monkey with wings when flying. Bats can be very powerful in the air. Their wings are thin can make them fly.
Brown bat can catch 1,200 mosquito size within one hour. In Bracken Cave, Texas, there are 20 million mexico without a tail bats that live there and eat about 200 tons of insects .. every night.
Vampire bats that suck blood. Relax, there are only three species of vampire bats in the world. If you are traveling in parts of Central and South America, you might see a vampire bat bite a cow and then sucking the blood from the bite wound.
Bats do not get fat. They can digest a banana, mango, and other fruits in about 20 minutes.
At least 10 people in the last 50 years have contracted rabies from bats of North America. Bats use echo in the dark to see anything around him.
