What country is the Bangzi from? Why is it called a stick?

Source 1: The word "Korean bonzi" comes from handyman of Korean tribute mission in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Korea was a tributary country of China in ancient times, so it needed to send missions to pay homage and tribute to Emperor China on a regular basis. The tribute team consists of three envoys (ambassadors, deputy envoys and clerical officers), officers, 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.

According to the research of Liu Yonglian, a professor at Jinan University, the word "bonzi" has nothing to do with the servants called "home" or "helper" in the North Korean mission, but a local dialect in China, which has a contemptuous meaning and is not only used with "North Korea".

According to the records of Qing history, there are some aborigines in Northeast China, called "Grand Bangzi". In addition, the literature confirmed that there were still titles such as "Shandong Bangzi", "Shaanxi Bangzi" and "Poor Bangzi" in Qing Dynasty, and "North Korea Bangzi" was just one of them.
