Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: The construction of Harmonious Life is a value which has been practiced by the Malay community since long ago. This context can be viewed and found in the scroll text of Sang Nila Utama Museum’s collection in Riau Province. This study aims to explain and reflect on the construction of harmonization values that exist within the Riau Malay community. To explore harmonious life construction values in the manuscripts of the Riau Malay community, this study uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The result of this study shows that the construction of harmonious life in the Malaya Riau community manuscripts refers to three contexts; First, transcendental values foster compassion for the Creator. The second consists of values that are transactional in the context of blessed commerce. The third refers to relational values to maintain human relations in interacting and communicating. It can be concluded from these three contexts that the construction of harmonious life in the manuscripts of the Riau Malay community does not only emphasize transcendental-based values but also accommodates communal values.
