CENTRAL JAVA CULTURAL ART

Javanese culture is one of the old culture figure. Javanese culture rooted in Central Java culture originated from ancestors who settled on the banks of the Solo River thousands of years before Christ. Human fossils of ancient Javanese who now inhabit the Sangiran Museum in Sragen Regency, is a witness of history, how old the earth of Central Java as a residential area which in itself is a cultural region. From the ancient cultures that then grow and develop classical Javanese culture figure who until now continues to move toward the culture of Indonesia.
The word is derived from classical Clacius words, the names of people who have succeeded in creating literary works that have "high value". So high literary value Clacius work was called "Clacici". And Clacici is nobility / aristocracy, while Clacius including nobility, therefore, works of art that have a high value is called "classical art".
Bengawan Solo is not only famous for its song creation will Gesang, but more than that valley known as the place where so many fossils and relics discovered early history of life on this earth.
In 1891 Eugene Dubois found the remains of early humans who were given the name "Phitecanthropus Erectus" in the Sandpipers, Ngawi residency of Madiun. It turned out that the fossils of more ancient (older) and more primitive than the Neanderthal fossils found in Europe before. Excavations continued until around the year 1930-1931 was found for human fossils in the Ngandong and Kedungbrubus Sangiran area. This fossil is older than that found in Germany and in Peking. In contrast to findings in other parts of the world, the discovery of fossils found in Java Pleistoceen at all levels and not only on one layer only. Until it is clear human development since the form of 'keorangan'nya early (homonide), are from other parts of the world's discoveries were not given such a complete picture. It is expected by early humans lived in small groups, possibly even families consisting of six shingga twelve individuals. They hunt animals living along the river valleys. How to live like this seems to keep going for a million years. Then discovered the remains of artifacts consisting of tools of stone axes at a site near the village of Pacitan, in a layer of earth which is estimated based on geological data and the year was 800.00 associated with Pithecanthropus fossils that have evolved further. Thus, it is estimated that since at least 800,000 years ago the hunters on the island of Java already has a culture.
Human and culture is a very tight unit. Both of them can not be separated. There is no human culture, there will be no culture in the absence of his supporters, namely humans. However, human life is not how long, he then died. So to establish a culture, supporters have more than one person, even have more than one derivative. So must be forwarded to the next descendant offspring.
