Rangkiang usually used by people in ancient times to store grain which has been in the sun and ready to again be the rice though. in this Rangkiang people put the rice, but now are a little distance we could see rangkiang, because those people are no longer used as a storage Rangkiang rice. so slowly that the Minang culture symbolized by rangkiang this will fade and disappear.
