INTRODUCTION

Riau Malay culture is a culture that cannot be separated from its various traditions. One of them is an oral tradition, a form of cultural community expression, for example, storytellers, spells, expressions, proverbs, and basiacuong (Suryadi, 2016). Basiocung belongs to the type of oral literature that developed in Kampar. The oral tradition of basing is used when holding traditional ceremonies (Lozici et al., 2015). Basiacuong is a good and correct language teaching in the Kampar Malay customary order, so Basiacuong becomes the language of instruction that must be used in the association between link mamak and other link mamak, as well as between link mamak and their nephews in various customary events or not, such as opening "Conference" during weddings, jambu meals, engagements, weddings, festivities, link mamak coronations, circumcisions, and others.

The word literature in Indonesian comes from Sanskrit; the base of the word "sas" in the derivative verb means to focus, teach, give instructions or instructions, and the ending "tra" generally displays equipment and facilities (Princess, 2022). Thus, literature means tools for teaching, instructional novels, instructional or teaching novels, for example, literary silpa, architectural novels, kama sastra, and instructional novels on the art of love. The prefix 'su' means good or beautiful (Amir, 2013). Tradition is very diverse, both in terms of form and way of expressing it (Soares et al., 2023). From simple and well-known traditional forms to complex ones.

Phrases are words known by residents from generation to generation, with the meanings and symbols listed therein (Rahmawati, 2014). Expressions are phonological/graphemic aspects of language factors that contain meaning. This interpretation is equated with idioms which are constructions of elements that alternate and each member has a meaning only because it is with the others (Egeten, 2016). Traditional expressions known to the public are symbols understood by the people who use them. A complete understanding of this traditional expression was put forward by several experts, including Athailla, who argued that traditional expressions are expressions that are known by the supportive community (Atdi, 2020).

A parable is a sentence that expresses a person's situation by comparing the surrounding environment, which is always preceded by comparative words from the surrounding environment (Sarman, 2017). The parable begins with the words back, exemplary, panenka, for example, septum, and so on (Indahsari, 2019). Pantun is the result of an old literary work of poetry in the form of an original poem whose form consists of four lines of verse, with the rhyme formula ab-ab, usually 8-12 syllables (Amar, 2016).

According to etymology, the word siacuong comes from the word samba, which means: to worship or humble oneself, and the person who utters the sentence siacuong will not swell his chest. He will always choose the words that best suit the interlocutor. Etymologically, Cuong comes from the word acting, which means flattering or respecting others in communication. Basiacuang tradition is one of the regular activities that use figurative words as a means of communication. Basiacuong follows existing rituals and the customary rules governing Basiacuang and the procedures for using the word siacuong (Pratami, 2022). �Siacuong is one of the cultures that can enrich the culture of Riau. Riau Province has several like cultures, and some are not, so these cultures are extinct. Various cultures and performances include Mahjong, Mendu, Randai, Nadihin, Manmandu, Berdah, Kayat), Bakoba, Basiacuong, and Pacu Jalan.

According to research that Basiacoung is an oral tradition that conveys aims and objectives symbolically and is spoken in rare traditional ceremonies of the Kampar Malay community (Yohana & Husmiwati, 2015). Basiacuong is a local culture that has wisdom that needs to be maintained as oral literature. Basiacuong has an influence in shaping personal characters who are intelligent interpersonal (Alhafiz, 2021). Previous research explained that the function of Basiacuong, which is an oral tradition in the Limo Koto Kampar community, among other things, encourages people to be skilled at speaking, enhancing manners, and giving lessons or advice to the community as a means of staying in touch, encouraging people to work together and help each other in everyday life conslitently (Yunus, 2013).

Research of basiacoung, the results of his research explained the procedures for implementing Basiacoung (Iqbal, 2020). Then the results of their research are manifestations of communicative character values ​​in the Basiacoung tradition (Susanti et al., 2022). The novelty of research is describe the structure, the literary genre, and the message contained basiacuong in the bakampuong nemo event at Batu Belah village.

Based on the description of the background, the purpose of this research is to describe the structure of basiacuong bakampuong nemo, the literary genre in basiacuong bakampuong nemodi, the message contained in basiacuong bakampuong nemo in Batu Belah village.

The tradition in Kampar, which the people often use at every moment, is figurative language that is directly conveyed so as not to offend others. In this tradition, you can learn manners, morals, customs, and politeness respecting the opinions of others; all of that is in the Basiacuong tradition, which is carried out in every event. The basiacuong tradition in Kampar has become a legacy from the past. However, it can be seen that now that this tradition has begun to fade, the Kampar people rarely have their traditions in every event; in fact, this tradition is only held at traditional and fun events. Because according to people who are in Kampar with this tradition, it will be a waste of time, that is the view of the Kampar people towards this tradition.
