Why do Chinese people call Koreans sticks?

Calling Koreans Goryeo Bangzi

1. One theory:

South Korea’s own explanation is that the Koreans (also called Goryeo) fought with the Han army. At that time, he bravely hit the horse with a stick, which gave the Han people a big headache, so the Han people called North Korea the Korean Bangzi.

2. A theory:

The Korean Bangzi originated in Northeast China in the last century !

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese, who coveted the Northeast, began to penetrate and colonize the Northeast on a large scale, which reached its peak after the fall of Northeast China on September 18. The most important thing for colonization is immigration. Especially in the early days, most of the Japanese personnel in China were soldiers, and people were also needed for daily governance and management! However, due to Japan's domestic situation, funding and other issues, it was impossible to transfer enough manpower from Japan. Therefore, Japan recruited a large number of South Koreans (North Koreans) from the Korean Peninsula, which had long been "merged" with Japan at that time, to come to China. After receiving the education of the so-called "Japanese and Koreans have the same ancestors", the Koreans began to help the tiger after coming to China. However, the Japanese do not trust the Koreans at all, so these North Korean policemen do not have any weapons in their hands, and they are not as good as the Chinese pseudo-police, who also issue a baton.

In desperation, these South Koreans used the laundry sticks used by North Korean women to wash clothes as weapons for beating people. These South Koreans carry a stick with them and beat anyone they see unpleasantly with the stick. Since these South Koreans are more ferocious than the Japanese, the common people secretly call them Goryeo Bangzi.

3. There are two theories.

One theory is that the late historian Luo Jizu discussed it in his book "Feng Chuang Yu Yu". The full record is as follows:

Bangzi Before liberation, North Koreans and Koreans were called "Korean Bangzi", which I didn't understand. It was banned after liberation. It’s not a good name. But its meaning is still unclear. When I read Wang Yiyuan's "Liaozuo Seeing and Weddings", there is a saying in it: In addition to the Korean tribute envoys and servants, those who run around and serve are called "sticks". When women in that country engage in prostitution, they become official prostitutes, and the sons they give birth to are called "sticks", which is looked down upon by the people. The hair on the temples is not allowed to be wrapped in a net towel; when walking thousands of miles, one is not allowed to ride on a horse; one is not allowed to lie on the grass on the ground and is not allowed to sleep on a heated kang. Cover the lowly and laboring people in the country. When I first found out that he was an illegitimate son, he was inherited from generation to generation, so he classified himself into a class, just like the descendants of our Zhejiang Province. In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, an order was issued to abolish the descendants' status, but the customs remained unchanged. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Commerce asked for the abolition. The article in Yang Shouhao's "Sichong Zhaiwen Biechao" stated that according to the petition of Lu Hongchang, a gentleman from Zhejiang and a candidate fellow magistrate of Jiangsu, it was stated that there were no less than 20,000 fallen people scattered in various counties in Zhejiang. When I lived in Xiaoshan, my wife's family, I had heard that men and women who had fallen from the common people married themselves and worked as lowly servants. This was still the case in the early years of the Republic of China. Complete eradication may occur after liberation. The "stick" of North Korea should have returned to the people of Qi soon.
