Jeungki (community term aceh) is a traditional tool for pounding rice into rice. In addition to pounding rice, jeungki is also used to pound rice into flour. Now the traditional tool of jeungki for the people of Aceh has long been abandoned and is no longer used by aceh people to pound rice.

In this post I just give back the memory that in Aceh there is a tool called jeungki. Jeungki is a traditional Acehnese rice pounder, hopefully our next generation will never forget what jeungki looks like.

Steemian, jeungki made of hardwood materials such as merbau wood and other hardwood species. Why wood should be strong wood for jeungki to be used in a relatively long time. Besides being made of hardwood will also produce a hard blow and have good quality for pressure when pounding rice.

Jeungki consists of several parts, which have different names and functions. However, when working all components are interconnected with each other, the first one is "jeungki" then "alu" and the last one is "leusong", and the three names are combined then named jeungki.

Steemian, for the Jeungki process. Where the way jeungki operation is driven by humans by putting feet on jeungki then up and down when stepped on. For that it takes a pair of frames about 1 meter then jeungki will rise and fall when in stepping on. If a steemian friend ever stepped on a part of jeungki, it will certainly feel very soft, but it produces a distinctive and loud sound when the pestle attacks the leusong.

Jeungki is now increasingly rare from time to time, jeungki has lost the era with modern technology. In the past almost every house in aceh has jeungki, but now the name of traditional tool jeungki we do not see anymore. If there is still aceh in every gampong there is only one jeungki from many houses of aceh citizens.

Jeungki's presence once taught the meaning of togetherness and teamwork because Jeungki can not operate or run if only one person. In addition, social meaning is also very closely with jeungki. This is a piece of the story about the traditional tool jeungki aceh. Hopefully useful for steemian friends about what is jeungki. thanks.
