"China" Etymology

[edit]

This article needs a section about the origins of the word "China." Why did this dress/caste get named "China?" What does clothing and the woman it describes in Puebla Mexico have anything to do with a country across the Pacific Ocean? Thank you.Solar3939 (talk) 03:20, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you look up the designer of the dress, her nickname is China Poblana and she was born in 1607, so no one may actually know. She was Asian but not Chinese. Rumors are that she was from India. I think that is best told on the designers page, but perhaps a paragraph of possible word origin should be okay.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 22:42, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This article is very confusing in it's current form. Is it about a garment, a person, or a sculpture? Some additional context would be helpful. Also, what does this phrase mean in english?

[edit]

The China Poblana is a dress. This article needs context, sources, and expansion. My hands are pretty full right now, but I'll do what I can.--Rockero 16:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Chinese Pueblan"

[edit]

Someone might want to mention the references to the Spanish caste system. A "Chino/a" is one of the castes. In fact, if you zoom in on this image, you will see the term: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/CastaSystemVirreinato.JPG

China Poblana

[edit]

A "China Poblana" is a woman of this caste from the state of Puebla. In the Mexican folklore, there is a particular dress, which consists of a peasant blouse, a long skirt (not full like that of Jalisco) with Mexican-themed embroideries in the front. These are often done in [Chinese]beading (hence the mention of China). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.147.236.205 (talk) 14:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. I was looking at the picture mentioned above with the link and it appears to me that this fits the designer's ancestry to a tee. Though I will agree that Poblana is possibly the reference for Puebla. As I mentioned above, possible origins of the word would be a great addition to this article. Especially for the ACNH fans who are looking this up.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 22:52, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article on the person

[edit]

I'm going to start a separate article on the person. This current article makes no sense going switching back and forth between clothing and a person. Bhny (talk) 15:30, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone add the correct pronunciation to this?

[edit]

Not a Spanish speaker but would like to know how to pronounce it and please take the time to record the audio for those who may not be able to follow the pronunciation key.MagnoliaSouth (talk) 22:54, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
