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 benefit of this research is that it can
contribute knowledge about oral traditions, especially in the Bakampuang Nemo
oral tradition and help the understanding of connoisseurs of oral literature in
their work, especially in the Basiacuong oral tradition.

Furthermore, for the basiacuong genre in Bakampung Nemo,
there are three types: the Traditional Expression genre with 20 data, the
Parable genre with 14 data, and the Pantun genre with 8 data. Finally, the
mandate contained in basiacuong bakampung nemo, namely that you should follow
the example that was imposed by the link mamak and the people of the house
because there is an attitude of respect and the way you look polite both in
terms of answering and asking questions. Let the generation be able to follow
the example of what is applied in the kampong Nemo tradition; at this stage,
the generation should be able to be like the link mamak and the people of the
house where before they start a conversation or negotiation they must first ask
permission from their elders.
Finally, regarding the mandate in the basiacuong
tradition in kampung Nemo. The message or message that can be seen in speaking
using basiacuong is: you should follow the example applied by the link mamak
and the people of the house because there is a respectful nature and the way
you look polite both in terms of answering or in terms of asking. Let the
generation be able to follow the example of what is applied in the kampong Nemo
tradition; at this stage, the generation should be able to be like ninik mamak
and the people of the house where before they start a conversation or negotiation
they must first ask permission from their elders because who knows something
will go wrong later speak in conveying something or talk to link mamak in the
basiacuong.
Another mandate that can be taken is that we, as
generations or successors, even those of us who have never been married, should
consult with our parents, mamak, to know what is best for us and our families.
That is why the successor should be able to perpetuate the basiacuong tradition
in this kampong Nemo because a lot can be found about the applicants who come
to the house. Overall, the message that can be learned from the basiacuong
tradition in Kampar is that the generation that inherits this tradition should
learn or add insight by understanding the basiacuong method because by learning
the basiacuong method, there are many manners that we can emulate the knowledge
we gain. As a generation, it will be able to respect elders more and appreciate
those who are small, and also learning this tradition it will show how we speak
to be authoritative; manners are also taught in the basiacuong tradition.
From the results of this study, the oral tradition of
basiacuong. 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.
CONCLUSION
Based on the research results, the first
basiacuong structure is the opener, namely the opening of the call. At the
calling stage, the Datuk asks lumbago only the problem of why the link mamak
was invited to the kampung nemo, then the opener asks permission to start the
conversation with the Datuk. The second structure is the content; this
structure discusses the application and sign of application. The third
structure is the closing which ends with the open sea, which means dissolving
the event and going home. Furthermore, for the basiacuong genre in Bakampung
Nemo, there are three types: the Traditional Expression genre with 20 data, the
Parable genre with 14 data, and the Pantun genre with 8 data. Finally, the
mandate contained in basiacuong bakampung nemo, namely that you should follow
the example that was imposed by the link mamak and the people of the house
because there is an attitude of respect and the way you look polite both in
terms of answering and asking questions.
