Walasuji : Jurnal Sejarah dan Budaya

Walasuji means:

1. Historically: walasuji expressed in the lontarak symbol "sa" means seuwaE (singular or esa), which is the origin of the lontarak letter. The lontarak letter that was formed was simplified by the shahbandar of the Kingdom of Gowa, named Daeng Pamatte. The lontarak letter was then used to record various events that occurred in the life of society and government in the past.
2. Culturally: walasuji is in the form of a rhombus and contains a philosophical meaning of the Bugis-Makassar people called sulapak epplasi tauwe (four squares in humans). At the top are the head, the left and right are the hands, and on the lower side are the feet. Besides, meat (symbolized by black), blood (symbolized by red), bone (symbolized by white), and air/oxygen (symbolized by yellow). The four symbols that makeup humans are often manifested in a variety of cultural activities.
