Nails, Symbolize the Arrogance and Indetity of a Nation (Eng)
Steemians colleagues that I am proud of, the status of my post Steemit tonight wants to share around the nails. Steemians, have beautiful nails may be for some people is for beauty appearance or as accessories only. In essence, the era teaches that the nail is a symbol of arrogance and identity establishment, and affirmation of influence on a faction of the nation.
So that's why people are very busy nowadays to lengthen the nails and take care of it as beautiful as possible in order to look attractive appearance. Once as a child, in the confession of a friend in a book he once read, he very often clean the nails with young star fruit to clean his nails. But he likes to use cigarette ash to clean the nails by rubbing so that the nails become shiny.
But today for most women, nail-raising seems a necessity. There is even a nail as the basis for making a decision. There is also my female friend, tells that when she accepted the offer of a young man who wanted to be his lover, he first seen is the boy's nails. Because according to my female friends, nails assessed able to represent and give answers clean or not the owner of the nail.
So friends Steemians often clean the nails if you want to hook a woman of his choice. By having a dirty nail will be considered by the woman as a symbol of grossness. So it is considered something unpleasant for some women in general. For that you should never underestimate the nails, although very small attached to the fingertips, he is able to make indetitas and the character of the nail owner.
So with that, another era, then another nail meaning. But in the 15th (fifteenth) and a few afterward, nails are likened to a symbol of one's establishment. That century, people who have long nails identical to someone who works with the index, not with energy. So defined at least those who have long nails is a foreman at the port, or people berpenggaruh in the environment.
Hence in those days, if there are foreign ships docked at the port of Aceh, the owners of these ships are not hard to find workers unloading goods or loading goods, simply by looking for people who have long nails. Because they have a lot of workmen who can be used whenever needed. In the coolest terms of the day, the long-hoofed person at that time was the boss of the company owner for the employment service provider.
As experienced by Frederik de Houtman and Cornelis de Houtman, the Dutch first pioneered the trade mission to Aceh. Both are representatives of a Dutch trading company, Zeewsche reeder Balthazar de Moecheron. When they arrived at the Port of Aceh, they were only looking for men who have long nails in order to facilitate his trading business in the port of Aceh at that time.
However, when it was Portuguese had first put his nails around the waters of the Strait of Malacca. At that time the Portuguese incited the Kingdom of Aceh in order not to accept the Dutch trade mission, because the Portuguese era was eager to monopolize the spice trade in Aceh. When the Portuguese were hostile to the Dutch nation. Hence in this case, the nail for the Portuguese is a symbol of influence and power.
At that time the King of Aceh was affected, so the two Dutch trade envoys, Frederick de Houtman and Cornelis de Houtman were detained. Due to the failed economic negotiations, Cornelis de Houtman was murdered, while Frederick was arrested and taken prisoner. Both Dutch ships were finally sailed back to the Netherlands.
On another occasion, in November of 1600, the Dutch citizen Paul van Caerden, a friend of Pieter Both's shelter again ordered two ships from the Brabantsche Compagnie to re-establish trade relations with Aceh. Then when arrived at the Port of Aceh, the Dutchman is still looking for men who have long nails in order to get the services of the Acehnese.
Then Paul van Caerden succeeded in establishing a joint trade agreement with Aceh, but because then Aceh was still instigated by the Portuguese people not to cooperate with the Dutch. And the content of spices was unloaded again from Dutch ships, so they were the Dutchman returned to his country without bringing any results.
It was then that Federick de Houtman escaped from the Acehnese prisoners and boarded the Van Caerden ship to flee the Acehnese prisoners. But Federick de Houtman abandoned his intentions and returned to surrender to the King of Aceh. Stories and stories about this event are summarized in De Europeers in den Maleishen Archipel, and Het handelsverdrag van V Caerden, in JE Heeres: Corpus Diplomaticum. Where is told about the diplomacy of trade of the Dutch people to the Malacca Strait.
Steemians, this is a story about nails in the history of antiquity. But today nails have other value, nails are considered to represent the identity of the owner who reflects the clean and beautiful, charming and seductive. Therefore, today, nails symbolized a lot of new business opportunities, so nail salons are everywhere to always beautify the appearance at the fingertips. Even young women are willing to pay a fortune in order to obtain beautiful and beautiful nails. For that friend Steemians, a story about cleaning the nails with starfruit and cigarette ash, not his time anymore.
Yet other times, nails are considered as pride and arrogance. So people who have managed to affect a class or place so often nicknamed was able to stick his nails.
However, the small horn found in the fingertips with a wide range can be given meaning and different purposes but depending on the time and period of its use. Nails remain nails. But one thing to keep in mind, do not ever try to pinch with long nails, because it will hurt our skin. Steemiasn's friend of mine is not to confuse anyone, hopefully useful and especially for myself. Hopefully the Friends of Steemians read it.
