I. INTRODUCTION
Lampung is a province on the southern tip of the island of Sumatra, which has a strategic location because it is close to the Sunda Strait and the island of Java. Lampung Province has ethnic and cultural diversity. The cultural diversity comes from ethnic Lampung and other ethnic groups in the Lampung area.
Lampung Province has a motto on the regional symbol of “Sai Bumi Ruwa Jurai”. The meaning of the motto is Sai Bumi which means the Great Household with rooms and Ruwa Jurai which means two elements of the community who live in the Lampung Province. So, “Sai Bumi Ruwa Jurai” means a place of two inhabitants, which means a great household for the two groups of natives and immigrants (ruwai and jurai) who live in Lampung (Firma Sujadi, 2013: 4).
One of the areas in Lampung that is rich in culture is West Lampung Regency.
