【篇一:玛雅文化实地考察报告(英文)】
2015 yucatan trip report overview of yucatan trip
the state of yucatan is located in southeastern mexico, which is the major component of maya region. specially, it has its own government. we started our field trip from merida, and made a tour around archaeological sitesto uxmal, izamal and chichen itza, among which uxmal and chichen itza are the main ruling and ceremonial sites of maya region. after that, we went to cancun, a famous tourist city situated along the coast in southeastern mexico. city tour in merida
merida is the cultural, financial and political capital city as well as the largest city of
yucatan peninsula. it is famous for its rich mayan history and culture as well as some of other remarkable mexican
archaeological sites, which makes it one of the most important tourist cities in mexico. thought back to the history of merida, we know that it was once a colonial city, making it have a mixed culture of both local mayan custom as well as spanish one. as we walked around the street in merida, we can see a lot of catholic buildings, which are mostly influenced by
prehispanic style as well as some european style such as french. typically, they organized their traditional town in a spanish style. standing in the main street, there is the
governors? palace on one side, and some catholic church buildings on the opposite, which is
considered to be an organization form that can protect the city. the picture on the left is a famous structure in merida, the merida
cathedral. according to our teacher, the cathedral was built on the top of
one of the ruined mayan city. the spanish rushed in the mayan city and
forced maya as slaves to build a new religious center in the center of the
city for them, which makes the cathedral look exactly a spanish style. it is
a catholic church that built by mayas, which makes it still remain some typical characteristics of the local custom. for instance, it was highly decorated with beautiful lights all along its walls ad roofs. what is more, they added some traditional mayan carvings on the wall above the doorway as well as the windows. attractively, the windows were usually decorated with colorful drawings like some human figures or geometric patterns.
after that, we also looked around other building along the way. on some structures, we can see a mixed style of french and spanish. usually, there are some human figures like royal women and men, or heroic warriors carved on the wall. typically, we can see the figure of a warrior standing on the hanging head of another dead man, which may show the victory and power of the warrior.
besides, we walked around the local market. i felt like i have been back in china at the first sight, since i have never seen any
market that selling fresh meat in the us. in the us, people usually by
meats and vegetables in supermarkets, which are well packed and the
meats are usually stored in refrigerator separated by different parts of
the animals. it is really an interesting experience by comparing the market in merida and that in china, which
makes me think about the differences between developed and developing countries through a tiny scope. physical environment
merida is located in the northwest part of the state of yucatan, which is not along the coast. the state of yucatan is a flat area which is only a little above sea level. through the whole state, it mainly has three land types —volcano, tropical rainy forest and rocky mountain. the yucatan peninsula is an area with karst topography whose bedrock is mainly covered by
limestones. (that should be the reason that traditional mayan structures were mostly built with limestones.)as a result, there is very little surface water, not to mention drinking water.thus,
we could find a lot of caves and sinkholes called cenotes that can be used by the mayas to access the ground water.
as for the climate, yucatan features a hot and humid climate, and have an average annual high temperature of about 33
degree centigrade. thus, it is suitable for varies kinds of crops and fruits to grow in this area. besides, yucatan peninsula has only two typical seasons — tropical wet and dry climate, which means residents need to store water for dry season.merida?s rainy season mainly run from late may to october, during which residents would definitely do all they can to store the water for the rest of the year. as is mentioned in gallopin?s article, the maya region in mexico was separated into highland mexico and lowland maya, and “one condition separating these two settlement adaptation is the availability of water.” (gallopin, 1).from this reference, it is apparent that water is a main contributing factor for the development of an area, as we know that lowland maya was once a thriving region. it sounds quite reasonable that gallopin claims: “however, in those areas of the southern maya lowlands without such water sources and with an abundant though seasonal rainfall, reservoir
management may also have centralized population aggregates.” (gallopin, 3). wherever have abundant source of water, it can attract people to gather or set up a tribe, because only if with enough water can they fulfill their needs for daily lives as well as agricultural irrigation. agriculture
in many parts of maya region, they are short of water but have rich soil, clay and iron. as a result, traditional mayan economic system is largely based on agriculture. it has large area of farmland within the entire mexico, but their production efficiency is pretty low because their
agriculture is mostly based on labor force rather than high-tech equipment. however, it is also apparent that water is a dominant factor for agriculture.according to gallopin?s article, the maya lowland have an average four-month period of annual drought, which is definitely making it a challenge for farmers to provide enough water for their plants and crops.
consequently, building different kinds of reservoirs is their solution to cope with the problem of seasonal unavailability of water. depressingly, they do not have a high probability of
irrigation, which means it is difficult for them to grow any plants that need a large amount of water regularly. thus, they mainly grow plants such as corns, coffee beans as well as cotton.
according to dunning?s article about mayan culture and agriculture, “ancient maya
agriculture was highly varied in nature, adapting to a
changeable mosaic environments and responding to shifting cultural pressure.” (dunning, 1). the region of lowland maya have a large variation in rainfall, soil and biological process, which makes it impossible to use a single agricultural model through the whole region. so the ancient maya developed great diversity of adaptive patterns for their agricultural system as well as civilization.
however, after they enter the north america free trade area, the traditional agriculture systemsface a severe challenge. a considerable number of rural residents are rushing out from rural places to seek for better job opportunities in either large cities in mexico or illegally travel to america, leaving large areas of vacant farmland. hence, the output of agricultural products keeps falling down in recent years. this situation makes mexico?s food supply gradually transferred from self-sufficiency and exported-oriented to imported-oriented, which may also serves as an obstacle in the process of developing and industrializing within the mexico nation. economy: exported-oriented
besides agriculture, mayan economy also relies on craft production and trade. people earned money mostly by
exporting their products like textiles, agricultural and sideline products.in recent years, they also develop e-commerce as a new channel to stimulate their economy. regarding the fact that mexico shares boarder with united states, which is a well-developed country, it generates couples of manufacturing industries and automobile industries. generally speaking, the industrial system of yucatan area is an exported-oriented one and mainly based on light industry. it has vastarea for plants, which means it can provide those developed countries with all kinds of industrial raw materials such as cotton and rubber. according to the article by dr. south, those exported-oriented manufactures are called maquiladoras, which are “based on
labor-intensive assembly of imported components” (biles, 3). also, dr. south
mentions that there is a “changing exported-oriented industry in mexico and posits that the flying geese metaphor, a product cycle variation, provides a conceptual understanding of a transitioning industry.” (south, 4). not surprisingly, there is abundant cheap labor force in mexico, which means the
governments may try their best to create job opportunities for them. thus, a lot of developed countries may tend to choose mexico as a transition base for their industries.
【篇二:玛雅文化作文450字】
在世界古代文明史上,玛雅文化似乎是从天而降,又戛然而止。在哥伦布发现美洲大陆之前,玛雅文明就早已集体失踪,异常璀璨的文化也突然中断,给人类世界留下了巨大的困惑。 自从1839年美国人斯蒂芬斯在洪都拉斯的热带丛林第一次发现玛雅古文明遗址以来,世界各国考古人员在中美的丛林的荒野上共发现了一百七十多处被弃的玛雅古代城市遗址。 随着对玛雅文明的进一步考察,人们又惊奇地发现,几千年前的玛雅人竟有着无与伦比的数学造诣,有着谜一样的文字。玛雅人那时就已经测算到地球年为365.2420天,他们测算的金星年为584天,与现代人的测算误差仅为7秒。这是多么令人难以置信的数字啊! 玛雅人创造了二十进位计数法,数字演算可沿用到四百万年以后。这样庞大的天文数字,只有在现代星际航行和测算星空距离时才用得上。他们的象形文字由八百个符号和图形组成,词汇量多达三万个。他们还有精美绝伦的雕刻、绘画
和青铜艺术。 玛雅文化之谜,也许有一天人们会解开。那一天远吗?
