Why did Japan and North Korea look down on China after the Qing Dynasty came to power?

China's two East Asian neighbors, Japan and Korea, have a long history with China and are deeply influenced by Chinese civilization, so they have formed a consistent standard of "Chinese culture", that is, worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries.

However, after the Qing Dynasty, regarded as a "Land Rover", entered China, the relationship between Japan and the DPRK took a sharp turn for the worse. Although they still have respect for "China culture", they began to despise the realistic version of "China" in Qing Dynasty.

First, Japan: Petrou, clown also.

The Qing Dynasty first dealt with Japan in 1637.

One year earlier, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty led a hundred thousand troops to invade Korea (known as the Bingzi Rebellion in Korean history), and the Koreans were unable to resist. /kloc-in the first month of 0/637, Renzu Li You "surrendered in Tsing Yi" and kowtowed to Huang Taiji.

Huang taiji mentioned Japan in his "imperial edict" to North Korea at that time: "Japan's trade is as good as before, but when we guide its envoys to North Korea, we will also send envoys to communicate with them." The Qing dynasty meant that Korea was used as an intermediary to guide Japan to pay tribute, and then it was incorporated into the suzerain-vassal system of the Qing dynasty.

However, after learning about this incident, the Japanese side thought: "The Central Plains, the Kingdom of Heaven; Pilu, the clown is also. " If you don't sort it out, you have no intention to communicate.

A few years later, 15 Vietnamese nationals drifted from Japan to China, and the Qing people gave them preferential treatment. Regent Dourgen also specially received them and sent the Japanese drifters back to China through North Korea.

The Qing Dynasty did this politely. the emperor shunzhi's official document was conveyed from North Korea to Japan to the effect that "people of all countries are my sons", but the Japanese didn't appreciate it at all-Japan only sent a thank-you envoy to North Korea, and the official document he carried directly called the Qing Dynasty "Tatar".

Why are the Japanese so disdainful of the emerging Qing Dynasty?

Quite simply, according to China's standard of "China barbarians", the Japanese considered the Qing Dynasty barbarians and called it "Tatar" and "Tatar". When the Qing Dynasty made Beijing its capital, Japanese edo shogunate officials disdainfully thought: "The greed of Lu is based on Yanjing. Take it yourself, don't return it. "

After the Qing Dynasty settled down in the world, some Japanese even thought that Japan was qualified to be the successor of Chinese civilization, which could be called "China" and "China".

For example, Amber Su Xing, a Japanese Edo scholar and the originator of Bushido, publicly put forward the theory of "China-Korea" (referring to Japan), claiming that the orthodox sage had disappeared in the Song Dynasty and Japan should be regarded as "China". Japan's report on the situation in China, Hua Yi Abnormal Condition, said that it "made Japan form ... the real concept of China culture on barbarians and Qing Dynasty."

Because the Japanese never recognized the Qing Dynasty as "China" and called it "Qing State". As a result, in 187 1 year, when China and Japan signed the Sino-Japanese Reconciliation Rules, there was an unexpected episode for the Qing people: the Japanese delegation resolutely disagreed with the Qing government calling itself "China" in the treaty, and the negotiations even came to a standstill.

Second, the vicious irony from the Japanese.

Recently, I read Mr. Ge's article, and there was a paragraph about the Japanese making things difficult for the crew of the Qing Dynasty, which was very interesting.

During the Edo period, ships from China kept coming to Nagasaki, and some ships drifted to Japan. There are frequent disputes between China and Japan.

The most common thing is that the Japanese deliberately make things difficult and satirize China people with "clothes".

A Japanese named Guan Lingxiu took the deep-clothed towel and Dongpo towel preserved in Japan, told the Qing people that they were Chinese clothes handed down from generation to generation in our state, and then deliberately asked the Qing people, do you have such clothes there? The Qing people had to admit awkwardly that this was a "dress of the former dynasty", which could only be seen when acting.

Once the Qing people argued that "the Qing Dynasty also read the books of Confucius and Mencius, reaching the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou", the Japanese would move out of the "trick": "How can you call it the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou?"

Out of disdain for the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese deliberately used some very hurtful topics to stimulate China people. A man named Yoshiichi Noda, while chatting with Liu, a crew member of China's "Detai Ship", deliberately asked, "Where did your ancestors come from?" Liu replied with a half-mask: "From Jiangnan." However, Noda immediately debunked and said, "I heard that Taizu of Guibang started from the foot of Changbai Mountain. I wonder where this mountain is in Jiangnan? "

That's harsh. The Japanese irony is: If the emperor is not from "Huaxia" but from outside the customs, how can Qing be qualified to inherit the blood of Chinese culture?

On the one hand, the Japanese feel that China's clothes have become savage khufu, and they are full of contempt. On the other hand, they have to prove to China people that they have inherited China's clothing, and then come to the conclusion that civilization is in Japan, not in China.

Third, even Koreans look down on the Qing Dynasty.

Not only the Japanese, but also the Koreans who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty looked down on the Qing Dynasty.

North Korea's Li Dynasty has always been at odds with neighboring jurchen, calling the jurchen who often plundered them "Land Rover". However, due to the loss of military strength, the Manchu regime invaded North Korea twice and was forced to submit North Korea to the Manchu dynasty, whose education level fell behind its own, which was simply unacceptable to North Korea, which called itself "Little China".

On the other hand, North Korea's Li Dynasty has always been obsessed with the Ming Dynasty with "the grace of reconstruction". In addition to congratulations and official documents to the Qing Dynasty, Koreans themselves still insisted on using the year number of the Ming Dynasty until the year of Chongzhen. Koreans regard the Qing dynasty as a dog, a sheep and a barbarian, privately call the Qing emperor ""and call the special envoy of the Qing dynasty "Ambassador Lu".

In the Qing Dynasty, whenever North Korean envoys visited Beijing, their diaries were changed from "Chao Tian" in the Ming Dynasty to "Yan Xing", which meant that they only visited Beijing on business.

The national character of Koreans has always been "pot calling the kettle black". At that time, they called themselves "Little China" and respectfully called them "China's parents' land" in the Ming Dynasty, and they were dismissive of all other countries. Although they were obedient by the Qing dynasty, they began to feel that their status was higher than that of the Han people under the Qing dynasty.

At that time, Koreans were proud of wearing clothes of the Ming Dynasty in China, and at the same time they felt considerable contempt for the Han people who shaved their heads and changed clothes in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, a North Korean emissary recorded: "Every time I talk to Qu Bei (China people) and ask about their clothes, the Han people will feel ashamed."

Indeed, every time Han officials in the early Qing Dynasty went to North Korea on business, they felt emotion and even shed tears, because they could see their ancestors' clothes again. But by the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people basically turned a blind eye to it, and they felt fresh only by looking at the Korean costumes.

Therefore, like the Japanese, Koreans also come to the conclusion: "Today, the China system exists alone in our country."

The three East Asian countries, separated only by a strip of water, finally drifted away and became the most familiar strangers.
