Kingdom of Bone in the historical record established by ManurungngE Rimatajang in the year 1330, reached the peak during the reign of glory Latenritatta Towappatunru Daeng Serang Datu Mario Riwawo Aru Palakka Malampee Gemmekna Petta Torisompae Matinroe Bontoala ri, mid 17th century (A. Sultan Kasim, 2002) . Bone royal greatness can give lessons and wisdom sufficient for the Bone now in order to answer the dynamics of development and social changes, economic changes, shifts in culture and in the face of trends that are global.
Learning lessons from history and take the kingdom of Bone in the past at least there are three things that are fundamental to actualized and brought back to life because it has a rapprochement with the needs of Bone in an effort to organize society towards a better life.
These three issues are:
First, the lessons and wisdom in politics and governance. In conjunction with this field, the system in the past royal Bone upholds the sovereignty of the people or in modern political terminology is known as democracy. This is evidenced by the application of the representation of interests of the people through their representative institutions in the tribal council called the "ade pitue", ie seven customs officers who acted as advisor to the king. Everything that happens in the kingdom of deliberation by ade pitue deliberations and the decision conveyed to the king to be implemented.
Also in penyelanggaraan government is promoting the principles of humanity and deliberation. This principle comes from a clever Kajaolaliddong messages Bone scholar who lived during the years 1507-1586 who had submitted to the King of Bone as proposed by Wiwiek P. Yoesoep (1982: 10) that there are four factors that raise the kingdom, namely:
1. Seuwani, Temmatinroi matanna Whitewater MangkauE mitai munrinna gauE (King's eyes were closed not due to any act of thinking).
2. Maduanna, Maccapi Whitewater MangkauE duppai there '(the King must be smart to answer the words).
3. Matellunna, Maccapi Whitewater MangkauE mpinru there '(the King must be smart to make the words or the answers).
4. Maeppa'na, there mpawa surona Tettakalupai tongeng (Duta not forget to submit the correct words).
Messages Kajaolaliddong among others can be interpreted into a deep meaning for a king how important feelings, thoughts and will of the people understood and addressed.
Second, the lessons and wisdom from the history of Bone lies in cooperation with the view that putting another area, and approach to diplomacy as an important part of efforts to build the country for the better.
The urgency of such a view was evident when we trace the tops of the triumph of Bone in the past.
Carnival of the Kingdom of Bone
And as the monumental form of this view is known in history will be agreement and pledge with the kingdom of Bone, who gave birth Wajo and Soppeng TELLUM POCCOE or another as "Ri LaMumpatue Timurung" which is intended as an effort to strengthen the royal position in the face of challenges from the outside.
Then the third lesson and lessons can be learned from the history of the kingdom of Bone is a rich cultural heritage with a message. Humanitarian messages that reflect human intelligence Bone in the past.
Many references have been learned from the essence of Islamic teachings in the face of life, in answering the challenges of development and in facing the changes sooner. But most important is that the spirit of religiosity of Bone can be answered with the times with all forms of change and dynamics. Similarly (county Bone) possessed great potential, which can be utilized for development for the prosperity of the people. Potential can be quite diverse, such as in agriculture, plantations, marine, tourism and other potentials.
So the people with different backgrounds and educational experiences can be developed and utilized to encourage the implementation of Bone development itself. Although Bone has a history and cultural heritage are sufficient, the potential of natural resources and human resource support, but it should be underlined if the present and for future developments Bone will be faced with many changes and challenges of development are quite heavy. Therefore we need thoughts, ideas and proper planning in organizing historical heritage, cultural wealth, and potential into a governance and development.
