CultureNagarakretagama mention their Royal culture and graceful, with a taste of the fine arts and literature, as well as a complex system of religious rituals. The major event in the calendar of the country held each first day of the month of Caitra (March-April) when all the representatives from all the conquered territory of Majapahit came to the Palace to pay tribute or taxes. Majapahit area simply divided into three types: palaces including the capital and the surrounding area; areas in East Java and Bali which were directly headed by officials appointed by the King; as well as the conquered territories in the archipelago that enjoy broad autonomy. [32]The capital of Majapahit in Trowulan is a large city and is famous for its large religious celebration held each year. Buddhism, Shiva, and Vaishnava (devotees of Vishnu) adopted by the inhabitants of Majapahit, and the King considered at once practiced Buddhism, Shiva, and Vishnu. Nagarakertagama is not at all offensive about Islam, but it is very likely there are some muslim courtiers or servants at that time. [2]Walaupun batu bata telah digunakan dalam candi pada masa sebelumnya, arsitek Majapahitlah yang paling ahli menggunakannya.[33] Candi-candi Majapahit berkualitas baik secara geometris dengan memanfaatkan getah tumbuhan merambat dan gula merah sebagai perekat batu bata. Contoh candi Majapahit yang masih dapat ditemui sekarang adalah Candi Tikus dan Gapura Bajang Ratu di Trowulan, Mojokerto. Beberapa elemen arsitektur berasal dari masa Majapahit, antara lain gerbang terbelah candi bentar, gapura paduraksa (kori agung) beratap tinggi, dan pendopo berdasar struktur bata. Gaya bangunan seperti ini masih dapat ditemukan dalam arsitektur Jawa dan Bali.Catatan yang berasal dari sumber Italia mengenai Jawa pada era Majapahit didapatkan dari catatan perjalanan Mattiussi, seorang pendeta Ordo Fransiskan dalam bukunya: "Perjalanan Pendeta Odorico da Pordenone". Ia mengunjungi beberapa tempat di Nusantara: Sumatera, Jawa, dan Banjarmasin di Kalimantan. Ia dikirim Paus untuk menjalankan misi Katolik di Asia Tengah. Pada 1318 ia berangkat dari Padua, menyeberangi Laut Hitam dan menembus Persia, terus hingga mencapai Kolkata, Madras, dan Srilanka. Lalu menuju kepulauan Nikobar hingga mencapai Sumatera, lalu mengunjungi Jawa dan Banjarmasin. Ia kembali ke Italia melalui jalan darat lewat Vietnam, China, terus mengikuti Jalur Sutra menuju Eropa pada 1330.In this book he mentions he visited Java without explaining in more detail the places he visited. The King mentioned Java mastering the seven Kings of subordinates. It is mentioned also in this island there are a lot of clove, cubeb, nutmeg, and a variety of other spices. He mentioned the King of Java is very luxurious and wonderful, full of gilded with gold and silver. He also mentioned the Mongol King attempted to attack several times, but always failed and successfully driven back. Of Javanese Kingdom mentioned here is Majapahit visited at one time in the 1318-1330 during the reign of Jayanegara.EconomyMajapahit was an agricultural country and the country's trade. [21] the taxes and fines paid in cash. Javanese economy had been partly know the currency since the 8th century during the reign of Medang Kingdom which use the granules and pieces of gold and silver. Around the year 1300, during the reign of the first King of Majapahit, an important monetary change occurred: pieces of the Interior was replaced with money "kepeng" i.e. pieces of copper imports from China. In November 2008 about 10.388 pieces of ancient China coins weighing about 40 kg were even unearthed from the backyard of a resident in Sidoarjo. Ancient Relics Conservation Agency (BP3) of East Java, make sure that the coins were from Majapahit era. [35] the reason for using foreign currency is not mentioned in the historical records, but most scholars suspect that the increasing complexity of Javanese economy and then the requisite money small fractions or dime Majapahit currency system to be used in everyday market transactions. This role is not suitable and cannot be met by the gold and silver are expensive. [32]Some reflection of economies of scale in the land of the Javanese collected from a variety of data and the inscription. Canggu inscriptions dated 1358 mentions 78 as much as a point of passage for boats crossing place form within the country (mandala Java). [32] the Majapahit inscriptions mention a variety of occupational specialities, ranging from gold and silver Smiths to drink vendors, and butchers. Although many of these jobs are already there since the days before, but the proportion of the population who seek income and cutting edge search outside agriculture has increased during the Majapahit.According to Wang Ta-Yuan, China merchants, commodity export Java at that time was the pepper, salt, cloth, and old brother bird, while commodities imports were pearls, gold, silver, silk, ceramic items, and items from iron. Its currency is made from a mixture of silver, Tin, lead, and copper. [36] in addition, the record of odoric of Pordenone, a Roman Catholic monk from Italy who visited Java in 1321, mentions that the King of Java is full of gold, silver, and jewels. [37]Prosperity of Majapahit, allegedly because of two factors. The first factor; Brantas River Valley and the Bengawan Solo River in the lowlands of Northern East Java is well-suited for farming rice. At the time of Majapahit's Prime building various irrigation infrastructure, partly with the support of the Government. The second factor; Majapahit's ports on the northern coast of Java, probably plays an important role as a port base to get Moluccan spices commodities. Taxes levied on commodity spices passed through Java is a source of important income for Majapahit. [32]The nagarakertagama States that the kemashuran ruler Wilwatikta has attracted many foreign merchants, of whom traders from India, Khmer, Siam, and China. A special tax imposed on foreigners who settled mainly semi-permanent in Java and do work other than international trade. Majapahit had its own officials to supervise the traders from India and China who settled in the capital as well as various other places in the region of Majapahit in Java.Structure of GovernmentMajapahit had a structure of Government and bureaucratic arrangement that regularly during the reign of Hayam Wuruk, and apparently the bureaucratic structure and has not changed much during its development.
