MALANG
 |
The name " Malang " is
still researched its origins by historians. Malangkucecwara written on the
emblem of the city, according to one hypothesis is the name of a sacred
building. The name it self is sacred buildings found in two inscriptions of King
Balitung of Central Java, the inscription Mantyasih in 907, and the 908
inscriptions found in one place between Surabaya - Malang. However, where is
the real sacred buildings Malangkucecwara it, historians are still not getting
the deal. The parties expect that the location of sacred buildings in the area
is mountain Buring, the mountains stretching to the east of the city of Malang
where there is a mountain peak named Malang. Proof of the correctness of this
conjecture is still underway as it turns out, to the west of the city of Malang
also there is a mountain named Malang. Malangkucecwara name consists of three
words, namely mala meaning fraud, falsehood, and falsehood ; angkuca which
means destroying or destroy; and Icwara which means " God ". Thus,
Malangkucecwara means " God has destroyed the evil ".
Previous hypotheses, perhaps in
contrast to the opinion of Malang suspect that the name is derived from the
word "Denied" or "hinder" ( in Javanese means Malang ).
Once Sunan Mataram who wants to spread its influence to the East Java has been
trying to occupy the area of Malang. Residents of the area to fight a great
war. Therefore Sunan Mataram assume that the local people to obstruct, deny or
poor on the intent of Sunan Mataram. Since then, the area was named Malang.

prosperous area. Then there was communication between the traders, including
traders from China with the locals. The area became crowded by locals with
trading between dealers. As a result, the goddess of heaven was annoyed and

Thus, the highland people who want to Palembang would often say to me Lembang.
So did the immigrants who entered the River Musi said it would be to Lembang.
Once when Princess Ayu Sundari
and his retinue are still in Bukit Seguntang Mahameru, there is a ship that
crashed on the coast of southern Sumatra. Three sisters were there was the son
of Alexander the king. They survived the crash and stranded on the Mount
Seguntang Mahameru.
They welcomed daughter Sundari Ayu.
