Abstract :

AbstrakSriwijaya adalah salah satu kerajaan “tertua” di Nusantara serta salah satu kerajaan terbesar yang pernah  hadir  secara  politis  di  tanah  air.  Namun,  sebetulnya  Kerajaan  Sriwijaya  justru  kerajaan“termuda” di Nusantara secara penemuannya, karena nama Kerajaan Sriwijaya baru “tergali” dan muncul ke permukaan di sekitar awal abad ke-20 setelah ditemukannya beberapa prasasti. Tulisan ini mencoba memaknai secara semiotis prasasti-prasasti tinggalan Sriwijaya yang ada di Kota Fo-shih, Musi, Wijaya, Palembang. Penelitian sebelumnya mengenai prasasti Kedukan Bukit, Telaga Batu, dan Talang Tuwo belum banyak membahas tentang makna di balik bentuk fisik prasasti-prasasti tersebut. Dengan menggunakan metode semiotika, penelitian ini berusaha mengungkapkan makna berbagai bentuk prasasti yang selama ini sangat bernilai dalam menguak kota Palembang di masa Kerajaan  Sriwijaya.  Hasil  analisis  semiotis  pada  bentuk  prasasti  Kedukan  Bukit  mengungkapkan ibukota Sriwijaya sebagai Kota Dagang, Kota Agama dan Kota Pelajar yang dikunjungi banyak orang. Bentuk prasasti Telaga Batu menandakan simbol Kota Pemerintahan yang bersih, serta bentuk prasasti Talang Tuwo menandakan simbol Kota Wisata yang makmur dan beruntung. Dengan segala pujian seperti ini, dapat dikatakan bahwa Kota Fo-shih sebagai ibukota Sriwijaya adalah kota metropolis pada masanya.Kata kunci: ibukota, prasasti, semiotika, SriwijayaAbstractSrivijaya  is  one  of  the  “oldest”  kingdoms  in  the  archipelago  and  one  of  the  largest  empire  ever present politically. But in fact, the kingdom of Srivijaya was “the youngest” kingdom in the country because the name of Srivijaya kingdom was just “unearthed” and came to the surface in the early 20th century after the discovery of several inscriptions. This paper attempts to interpret the physical forms of Srivijaya inscriptions in the city of Fo-shih, Musi, Wijaya, Palembang. Previous research on the inscriptions of Kedukan Bukit Telaga Batu, and Talang Tuwo did not discuss about the meaning behind the physical form of the inscriptions. Using semiotics as method, the study seeks to unravel the various forms of inscription that has been very valuable in revealing the capital city of Sriwijaya, which is now named Palembang. The semiotic analysis on the form of Kedukan Bukit inscription showed Srivijaya was the City of Commerce, Religion and the City of Education visited by many people. The form of Telaga Batu inscription indicates the symbol of a clean government, and the Talang Tuwo inscription marks the symbol of a prosperous and successful city. Based on such praises, it can be said that the Fo-shih as the capital city of Srivijaya, was a metropolitan at that time.
