Editing Central Java (section)

== Coat of arms and symbols ==
The motto of Central Java is ''Prasetya Ulah Sakti Bhakti Praja''. This is a Javanese phrase meaning "A vow of devotion with all might to the country". The coat of arms of Central Java depicts a legendary flask, ''Kundi [[amrita|Amerta]]'' or ''Cupu Manik'', formed in a pentagon representing [[Pancasila (politics)|Pancasila]]. In the centre of the emblem stands a sharp bamboo spike (representing the fight for independence, and it has 8 sections which represent Indonesia's month of Independence) with a golden five-pointed star (representing faith in God), superimposed on the black profile of a ''[[Candi of Indonesia|candi]]'' (temple) with seven ''[[stupa]]s'', while the middle stupa is the biggest. This ''candi'' is reminiscent of the [[Borobudur]]. Under the ''candi'' wavy outlines of waters are visible. Behind the ''candi'' two golden mountain tops are visible.

These twin mountains represents the unity between the people and their government. The emblem shows a green sky above the ''candi''. Above, the shield is adorned with a red and white ribbon, the colours of the [[Indonesian flag]]. Lining the left and right sides of the shield are respectively stalk of rice (17 of them, representing Indonesia's day of Independence) and cotton flowers (5 of them, each one is 4-petaled, representing Indonesia's year of Independence). At the bottom, the shield is adorned with a golden red ribbon. On the ribbon the name "Central Java" (''Jawa Tengah'') is inscribed in black. The floral symbol of the province is the ''[[Michelia alba]]'', while the provincial fauna is ''[[Oriolus chinensis]]''.
