Why do you call Koreans "bonzi"? I hate Korea, too. )

Koryo bonzi (Korean:) is a derogatory term used by China people to address Koreans, and is generally called "bonzi" directly.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Korean Peninsula has been a vassal state of China. Historically, South Korea has never been an independent country, as can be seen from the name Seoul. The relationship between South Korea and China, explained in words, is the courtiers of the Han people. A dependent country attached to China.

By 1905, the Qing government was too busy to help and take care of this small country. As a result, the Japanese occupied the Korean peninsula and began to colonize South Korea for 40 years.

After Japan occupied the Korean peninsula. At that time, many Koreans joined the Japanese colonial government's police force, but the Japanese narrow island ideology was at work, and they didn't trust the Koreans. Although these North Koreans are both respectful and loyal to the Japanese, the Japanese are still wary of them and have not equipped the police with weapons. When these Koreans maintain social order in the streets, because they have no weapons, everyone takes a big stick to the streets. This stick became a symbol of North Korean politics.

At that time, whenever Koreans opposed Japan, these Korean policemen with sticks severely beat these protesters with sticks.

It is said that these Korean policemen are more ferocious than the Japanese when attacking their compatriots. They chased their compatriots everywhere with big sticks in their hands.

At that time, a western journalist interviewed on the Korean peninsula and witnessed this scene. He also took a famous photo and published it in Europe. The photos of South Korean police chasing their compatriots with sticks shocked the world. This shows that the world's barbaric behavior towards Korean politics at that time. A policeman with a big stick is called a Korean stick. That is, "barbarian with a stick" was the name of pol.ice in Korea at that time. As the saying goes, it is pol.ice who kills others with a stick.

Koreans have become barbarians in the eyes of westerners. Because of Korea, people call it the Korean nation. So at that time, westerners called Koreans Korean bonzi. And spread to all parts of the world. Koryo bonzi is an insulting name for Koreans by westerners.

The first source is that the word "Korean bonzi" comes from the handyman of the Korean tribute mission in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Korea was a vassal state of China in ancient times, and it needed to send missions to pay homage and tribute to Emperor China on a regular basis. The tribute mission consists of three envoys (ambassador, deputy envoy and clerical officer), officials, translators, medical officers and handymen. Historian Luo Jizu pointed out that "Bangzi" was originally a Korean name for illegitimate children. Because of their low status, these people can only serve as handymen in the missionary groups introduced to China. In his book von, he has the following discussion:

"Koryo Bonzi" Recorded in Qing Dynasty Literature

"Before liberation, Koreans were called' Koryo Bonzi', and I didn't understand the so-called. It was banned after liberation. However, why its meaning is still unclear. And reading Wang Yiyuan's Liao Zuo Wen Jian Lu, there is a cloud:' The followers of Korean tribute envoys, except those who rush to serve, are called' great'. Women in other countries commit adultery, that is, they are buried as official prostitutes, and their children are called "sticks", which is despised by the whole people. The temples are fluffy and must not be wrapped with a net towel; ACTS in Wan Li, not by car; The ground is covered with grass, and you don't sleep on the kang. Covering humble and hardworking people in the countryside. "I know that he is an illegitimate child and has been attacked from generation to generation, so he is divided into a class, just like the fallen people in Zhejiang. In the first year of Yongzheng, the fallen nation was ordered to be eliminated, but the custom remained unchanged. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Commerce demanded a discount and then cut it down. According to Yang Shoukun's "Si Chong Zhai Wen Bie Chao", according to a letter from Zhejiang gentleman and Jiangsu alternate Tongzhi Lu Hongchang, there were more than 20,000 people scattered in various counties in Zhejiang. When I arrived in Xiaoshan, my husband's family once heard that corrupt men and women married themselves and provided cheap services, which was still the case in the early years of the Republic of China. Completely eradicate fear after liberation. North Korea' s "stick" should have been returned to the people as soon as possible. " [ 1]

According to Huang Puji, the history department of Nanjing University, Bangzi originally wrote "Bangzi", which originally referred to the humble servant of the Korean tribute mission in the Ming and Qing Dynasties; Because of their humble status and low quality, these people stole in China and violated the law and discipline, which brought great trouble to the government and people of China, thus creating a bad impression on Koreans in China. In addition, the Ming and Qing dynasties treated the mission with a soft attitude, which sacrificed some interests of the officials and people along the way, which led the Korean people to blame the North Korean mission for the inconvenience. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, China people used to call North Korea "North Korea", hence the nickname "Korea Bonzi". It evolved from a specific title to "Koryo Bangzi", a general term with derogatory meaning, which reflected the contradiction between the Korean mission and the China people along the way in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. [2-3]

The record in Guo Zuo Wen Jian Lu written by Wang Yiyuan during the reign of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty was the earliest record about the word "bonzi". [4] According to the map of "Korean national wives" in the first volume of "Imperial Palace Map" in the 16th year of Qianlong (175 1), it contains the following page number: "Korean nation, commonly known as Korean bonzi." [5] In the thirty-first year of Qianlong (1766), Hong, the North Korean envoy who came to China, also recorded their experience of being called "Korean Bonzi" by China's children in the capital (now Beijing, China): "There is a car full of young women who look at it from the curtain, which is quite gorgeous. Zhong Ping looked him straight in the eye and didn't shy away, pointing out that he was surprised. The car watcher sitting in front of the curtain muttered curses and was unconscious. However, there are dozens of children, scrambling to shout' Koryo Gangzi', shouting and chasing. I urged Zhong Ping to run, just to avoid embarrassment. " [6] The above facts tell the truth. During the Kanggan period of the Qing Dynasty, China people generally used the title of "Koryo Bangzi" for Koreans.

The second origin

After the September 18th Incident, Japan recruited a large number of Koreans from the Korean peninsula that it had annexed to China due to the shortage of daily management personnel in the occupied areas. Because these Koreans are more ferocious than the Japanese after coming to China, they are called "two devils" by the locals. However, the Japanese don't trust Koreans. Without Korean weapons, these people use Korean women's laundry sticks as beating weapons, so the locals call them "Koryo sticks".
