Gaoli Bangzi
''Gaoli bangzi'' () is a Chinese slang term, with a long history of being used as a deprecatory ethnic slur for Koreans. The term '' gaoli'' (高麗) refers to the ancient Korean dynasty Goryeo, while ''bangzi'' (棒子) means club. It is used synonymously with Er Guizi (二鬼子) and is sometimes shortened to ''han bangzi'' (韓棒子) or simply ''bangzi'' (棒子). Origin Huang Puji of the Nanjing University Department of History argues that the term originated as the Chinese language near-homophone "幫子" which means "helper", referring to the ''nobi'' servants that accompanied Korean diplomatic missions to China in large numbers during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but this mistakenly became corrupted as "棒子", a term which differs only in tone. These poverty-stricken servants had apparently gained a reputation for petty crimes such as smuggling, according to the diary of Korean scholar Kim Chang-eop (Hanja: 金昌業). and subsequently its usage expanded to refer to ...

Anti-Korean Sentiment In China
Anti-Korean sentiment in China refers to opposition, hostility, hatred, distrust, fear, and general dislike of Korean people or culture in China. This is sometimes referred to in China as the ''xianhan'' (dislike of Korea) sentiment, which some have argued has been evoked by perceived Korean arrogance that has challenged the sense of superiority that the Chinese have traditionally associated with their 5,000-year-old civilization. South Korea established official relations with the People's Republic of China in 1986, and relations between the two states have, for some time, slowly improved in order to allow more economic integration, but tension still exists between the two states. Within the Chinese population, Korean culture has become popular in the 21st century. Amid a higher degree of interaction between the two countries in terms of politics and culture, however, there is still some looming anti-South Korean sentiment arising from various disputes between the two countries ...

Joseon
Joseon (; ; Middle Korean: 됴ᇢ〯션〮 Dyǒw syéon or 됴ᇢ〯션〯 Dyǒw syěon), officially the Great Joseon (; ), was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, lasting just over 500 years. It was founded by Yi Seong-gye in July 1392 and replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897. The kingdom was founded following the aftermath of the overthrow of Goryeo in what is today the city of Kaesong. Early on, Korea was retitled and the capital was relocated to modern-day Seoul. The kingdom's northernmost borders were expanded to the natural boundaries at the rivers of Amrok and Tuman through the subjugation of the Jurchens. During its 500-year duration, Joseon encouraged the entrenchment of Confucian ideals and doctrines in Korean society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the new state's ideology. Buddhism was accordingly discouraged, and occasionally the practitioners faced persecutions. Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the territory of current Korea and saw the ...
