National history

EDITOR
Origin in Sulawesi
According to the Bukit epic La Galigo, the first Bukit kingdom was luwu, located in the northeastern part of the peninsula, and the earliest kingdom is mentioned as Luwu in the history books of the Bukit kingdoms. But here's the paradox: according to existing research, the Bugi kingdoms arose mainly from rice farming and were mostly located inland, whereas the Bugi kingdoms described in La Galigo were commercial and located on the coast or on both banks of the river. The new view is that the Luvu Kingdom was not the original Bukit kingdom, and that the Luvu Kingdom was a multi-ethnic state in which the Bukit were outsiders who ruled over the indigenous people.
One idea is that the Bugi people lived around Lake Tempe and Lake Sidenreng on the south peninsula of Sulawesi. Fish stocks here and Animal resources The rich, periodic ebb and flow of Lake Tempe, which serves as a reservoir for two local rivers, makes the area convenient for experimental rice cultivation. On the hillsides, upland rice is cultivated and fishing and hunting are collected. Around 1200 AD, the Bugis imported large quantities Chinese porcelain (mainly through Southeast Asian countries), as well as the Gujarat region of India Textile raw material Iron ore was also discovered in the luwu area. This led to an agricultural revolution among the Bugis, where rice cultivation became mainstream and the population expanded to the rest of the peninsula. The next 400 years of development led to the emergence of various historical Bugi kingdoms and the transition of society from primitive tribal society to the primary form of hierarchical state.
Early kingdom
In the 14th century in the southwestern peninsula area of Sulawesi appeared a number of associations between the Bugi people People from Makassar The establishment of a small country. At the beginning of the 17th century, these countries generally converted to Islam. In the 1630s, the Makassar gowa Kingdom conquered various Bugi kingdoms and unified much of the southwestern peninsula. Around 1667, Dutch East India Company The United Bugis defeated the kingdom of gowa and captured its capital Makassar .
The rule of the Malay Peninsula
Due to years of war in the southwestern Peninsula, some Bukit and Makassar people began to migrate to other parts of the Southern Islands in the 17th century, with many migrating to eastern Kalimantan. In the 17th century, the Bukit settled in the Malay Peninsula along the Krang and Selangor rivers, and established their rule in Selangor around 1710. In 1772, Daeng Parani (also translated as Daeng Parani), a Bukit, proclaimed himself Deputy King of Johor in the Riau Islands (where the capital of the Kingdom of Johor was located), and assumed the real power of the Kingdom of Johor, with the Sultan of Johor as his puppet. He also made several of his brothers deputy Kings of the remaining sultanates in the Malay Peninsula, holding real power there, and his nephew Rajarumu became Selangor The first Sultan. The Bugis control all of today Peninsular Malaysia .
The expansion of the Bugis in the South Ocean islands was in conflict with the Dutch. Selangor allied with Riau against the Dutch in Malacca. The Bukit king Haji (nephew of Temberani) personally led the battleship to the Malay Peninsula and died in June 1784. The Dutch took control of Riau. At the end of the 18th century, the British intervened and installed a Malay sultan there, and the Dutch army withdrew. King Ali of Bukit Turu ousted the Malay sultans after seizing power, causing many years of disputes in the Malay world. The result is that both sides lose. In the 19th century, Bukit power gradually disappeared in the Malay archipelago.
Activities in northern Australia
The Bugi and Makassar peoples had periodically sailed to northern Australia to trade with the indigenous peoples before the European discovery of the continent.
