摘要：Indonesia, like other Asian countries, didn’t have a dominant written
tradition as many of the Western nations did. Written records and
documentation were largely created and kept by the ruling or intellectual
branches of the society. Oral tradition dominated among the common
people. Legends, history, knowledge, wisdom – all were passed on to the
next generations through storytelling traditions. Dominant oral tradition is
believed to be one of the major factors contributing to the low appreciation
in Indonesian society of written records and documentation.
