A Legend Of Batee Raya

That day around 1832
AD. Some peoples who originally thought Peusangan were stunned by a
large rocks that have a height of up to 8 meters more and diameter (circumference)
30 meters.

People from this Peusangan
is estimated to be the first person to open residential areas in
gampong which later became known as Gampong Batee Raya, District of Juli,
Bireuen.

"Our ancestors have always been
tells that batee (rock) it
has been great, "said Abdul Hadi, Keurani (Secretary) Gampong Batee Raya.
Abdul Hadi is a landowner directly opposite Batee
Raya.

The soil on Batee
The Kingdom itself is the customary land of gampong.

Many stories are evolving
related Batee Raya (large rock) on it flat and broad it. Even
as told Junaidi, the top is enough and can be for
accommodate a group of people who want to
pray.

At the back of the rock
it also has a ladder (resembling) that can be used to make things easier
visitors stepped up to the top of Batee Raya.

"Until the 1970s,
kenduri blang is still implemented around Batee Raya, "said Abdul Hadi in
an interview with me.
accompanied by Keuchik Junaidi M. Nur and Keurani Cut, Mukhlis.

It is said, according to the story
the legend of the great-grandmother of Gampong Batee Raya, inside the Batee Raya is found
assorted plates, cups and other buffet appliances. Society
Gampong Batee Raya once, according to a growing story, used to take the tool
a buffet for the needs of a conch within Batee Raya. When society
and then go to Batee Raya, there is a door that opens with
itself, until people can take plates, cups and so on
from inside Batee Raya.

However, the door was finally
closed forever after one of the inhabitants of the village
and then took the plate from inside Batee Raya, at the time
return it to Batee Raya, swap it between one with
his plate.

"So, if someone takes
and borrow plates or cups from inside Batee Raya, must be returned intact
as when taking it and should not be exchanged, "said Abdul Hadi.

here is actually a lesson
that we can learn that we must be honest with this life. Once,
after that no one else can take plates and equipment kenduri
other than in Batee Raya. Nevertheless, kendang blur still running
until the 1970s at a location adjacent to Batee Raya.

The true story of Batee Raya
is a story about the former farmers of the garden
spending their time in the plantation area in the hills of Dusun Kuta
bato which is about 4 kilometers from Gampong Batee Raya center in Dusun
4-way intersection.

Keuchik Batee Raya, Junaidi
M. Nur said, first before the conflict raged great, generally society
Batee Raya has a second home in the plantation area to look after and maintain
the result of his garden. not infrequently, within a week, people divide the time of three days
stay in the gardens and four days in residential areas or vice versa.

"In fact, at times
certain, for example, at harvest time, gampong lonely because society is rare
go home, "he said.

In plantation area with
800 hectares of land (400 hectares)
other is a sleeping land), Junaidi said, about 200 hectares is the land of the head
hybrids and other 200 hectares planted with various kinds of crops,
such as, rubber, cocoa, corn, areca nut and palm. Corn was once
plant mainstay peasant kebuh Batee Raya.

"But now the community
lack of business capital to cultivate his own garden estate. Finally some
the community into garden labor owned by several owners of capital, "said
keuchik.

For that he hoped,
government can facilitate smallholder plantation business in Batee Raya through
giving of venture capital. Thus, the land of sleep can be utilized to be
productive land.

"We also hope
the government can do the hardening of the road to the people's plantation. For
this, if it rains, people can not cross it. If you're on
gardens and do not hurry down to the village, people must get ready
trapped in the plantation. The public must wait for the rain to stop and the road
dry. It usually takes hours, "explained the keuchik.

"We are looking at development at
some places have started to feel the echoes. But we expect attention too
can be given to Batee Raya. Such as the provision of venture capital and people
hardening of roads to plantations, "Junaidi values.

"It would be nice if
place and surroundings of Batee Raya is refurbished, because so many
curious people visit to see it, "said Keuchik
Junaidi M. Nur.
