Describe "poblana costume." Â
To begin with, the title by which she is known translated as “The Chinese Pueblan,” is not correct. In those days, “China” was a term used for all Asians, so it does not conflict with the recorded story. In it, her name was Mirra and she was born in India to a noble family but was kidnapped by Portuguese pirates while still a child. She later escaped, took refuge in the Jesuit Mission of Father Francisco Javier and was converted to Catholicism. At her baptism Mirra took the Spanish name of Catarina de San Juan.
Mirra’s native dress was the sari, a costume which consists most1y of a long strip of bright1y colored silk which can be draped in many ways, from demure to highly provocative. The China Poblana costume, which did not appear until long after her death, also featured a long shawl but there all resemblance ends.
The rest of the costume has nothing to do with India and was not worn until nearly a century after Catarina’s death. The contemporary version consists of a white blouse lavished with embroidery, beads and sequins and low cut enough to expose considerable cleavage, a skirt called a castor which is also beaded and sequined in geometric or floral patterns, a white underskirt adorned with something called enchilada stitching, an intricate crisscrossing of lacework around the bottom edge which peeped coyly from under the castor.
A belt called a loop, either of brocade woven or heavily decorated cloth, silk-embroidered satin shoes, a scarf to fill the low neckline for church going and the shawl worn looped over the elbows and sweeping the floor on either side, complete the colorful costume.
La china is usually described or painted as pleasingly plump but never fat, slender waisted and graceful in all her movements. Â
What was the importance of stone, stick, and shell symbols in the Maya Empire?
The Mayan number system was developed by the ancient Maya civilization of Central America. Similar to the number system we use today, the Mayan system operated with place values. To achieve this place value system they developed the idea of a zero placeholder. The Maya seem to be the first people who used a place value system and a symbol for zero. Beyond these similarities there are some significant differences between the Mayan number system and our modern system. The Mayan system is in base 20 (vigesimal) rather than base 10 (decimal). This system also uses a different digit representation. The Mayan numbers are based on three symbols:
Â
Some refer to these symbols as shells, pebbles, and sticks, which may have been the original counting items. These symbols can be combined to construct 19 digits (0 - 19). And with the use of the place value system any positive integer can be formed.
