When it comes to sticks, many people think it is corn, here is the Korean Oh, why call Koreans "sticks", some people say that calling Koreans for sticks is to praise them for their great meaning, it is very wrong, it is rumored that the name of this stick can be "big".
Share an interesting little story
During the Qianlong period, the king of Korea came to see the Qianlong Emperor, and Qianlong set up a banquet in the Forbidden City to invite him to dinner, and before the meal, the palace ladies each brought a basin full of water soaked with flower petals, and the King of Korea thought that it was an appetizing soup given to everyone by the court, so he took it and drank it, and in order to show his sincerity, he also praised this "soup dish" as delicious and delicious.
The Qianlong Emperor laughed and said, "Hahaha, you are such a big mallet." ”
The king of Joseon could not understand the meaning of this, thought he was praising himself, and quickly got up and knelt down to thank the emperor for his praise.
This funny move made everyone present laugh, and since then, the Koreans have been called "sticks" by everyone, implying the ignorance of the Koreans, but the good villain is also the name of the emperor.
Where did the "stick" first come from?
According to records, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Yiyuan's book "Records of Liaozuo Observations" recorded that in addition to the Korean tribute envoys, their running servants were called "sticks".
The book describes the word "stick" as follows: "The women of his country have committed adultery, that is, they have not been admitted to the official prostitutes, and the sons born of them are "sticks", and they despise the Qi people. Fluffy sideburns, no net towels; The disciple travels thousands of miles and is not allowed to take it; Lying on the ground through grass, not sleeping on the fire. The lowly and laborers in the country. ”
What are the claims for being called sticks?
- Title of Korean servant: As mentioned above, the stick at that time meant that the Korean state had a system, and women had children born of disloyalty, and from birth they were inferior, slaves, etc., and there were many restrictions and a very low status. But why is it called a stick? It may be that the Korean pronunciation transliteration of "slave", "lower person", and "bastard" is more similar to that of a stick, so it is called "stick".
- When Japan occupied Northeast China, the bottom security guards were basically Goryeo (formerly known as South Korea) people, because they were "second-class citizens", the Japanese did not trust them very much, and would not give them real guns, so they were equipped with a mallet for each of them, and the Koryo people had the legendary use of the mallet to fight, saying that the mallet was specialized in hitting the horses of the Han people, and the Han people at that time called these people "Goryeo sticks".
- Japanese derogatory name for Korea: The Korean word for stick originally referred to the traditional trousers worn in their own country, but later after "Japan-Korea union", it became a derogatory term for Koreans by the Japanese.
- The last theory is that Goryeo (the old name of Korea) is rich in ginseng, and the northeast of the mainland Nagada, ginseng production is high, when the Koryo people called ginseng "stick plant A", the ancients slowly passed it on as "stick", then where is this ginseng? Merchants would say, "Koryo sticks"! Later, people used to call Koreans "Goryeo sticks".
There are also many people who think that Koreans love to eat "sticks", even corn cobs are not spared, Koreans think that corn cobs are rich in more nutrients, in the eyes of Xiaobian is their lack of materials, others do not want can be a treasure, not brazen to say, Xiaobian's hometown corn cobs are enough for them to "enjoy" for a lifetime.
epilogue
I have to say that the origin of the word "stick" is more or less with the discrimination and contempt for Korea in different places, but it all originates from folk legends, and has not seen an authoritative explanation, and can only be used as a talking point after tea.
