The Legend of Mr. Tapa and a pair of dragons
Tapaktuan is very famous for a Legend of Tapa and Dragon Princess. The story is very lively in the community there. This story is very easy to we can hear from A to Z. The Legend is accompanied by ornament ornaments that have the shape and appearance as it is in the story. It's good I tell a little about the Legend of Tapa Tapa and the Dragon's Daughter.
"Once upon a time, in the past, in Aceh Selatan lived a pair of dragons. This pair of dragons, has a daughter called the Dragon Princess or the Youngest Princess. This princess is beautiful. This beautiful princess, according to the story obtained from sea kepas when finished a devastating storm that drowned a ship from mainland china.
It is said that, at that moment, a pair of dragons are down a sea of waves. The male Dragon suddenly stopped, stunned to notice a black spot in the middle of the sea. The black spot caught his eye. Lamat-lamat black dot is getting closer to the dragon caused by the current wave of the sea. The Male and Female Dragons continue to notice the black dot. As the black dot drew closer, the Dragon saw the wood of a ship and among the woods was a tiny baby stuck on a floating wood.
This tiny baby floats in the waves until finally a pair of dragons that help and nurture their nest. Because a pair of dragons do not have offspring and the tiny baby that they make as a child picked and named with the Youngest Princess or better known by the Princess Naga. Syahdan, a pair of dragons and the youngest daughter inhabiting a land around Batu Itam Village (now-red name) Tapaktuan District, South Aceh.
Indeed at that time it is often seen the entry of ships - merchant ships from foreign countries to the South Aceh region to buy spices that thrive in the area. According to the story, patchouli, cloves and nutmeg is the most abundant commodity in the mainland of South Aceh, so the water traffic in the area is quite crowded.
Still a long story that I will tell you in the future.
