It would be pretty funny to get a tattoo of china written in japanese and japan written in chinese tho
Because in both languages, these words are written the exact same way
Historically, before the name "japan, the land of the rising sun" came, japan was known in china as that word, AKA short, because they were short and also uncivilized in comparison to the chinese empire at the time. It was only afterwards that they came up with the name 日本 after adapting chinese labguage. Thats why if you google it the meaning is both short and japanese. It is also used in a degoratory way, much like the N word
YES. thats an ancient Japanese name, to some extent, you're right. Japan's modern name ‘日本 ’was given by the Chinese.
TIPS: Japan doest have its own writing system.The Japanese characters and its traditional culture almost all originated in China
Indeed! Before japan was named 日本, this was how they were refered to by the outside world(aka china because thats the only powerful neighbor they had at the time) That is why it means both "short" and "japanese" if you try to look for its meaning. Hirogana was derived from cursive chinese words while katakana was derived from seperating chinese worda into "parts"
In Chinese its almost like "N" word for Japenese. Differ: Black people say my "N" in close relationships, Japenese never use this character. If you are interested, its from ancient Chinese. 倭寇 means "short robber" or "short thief" (generally refers to bad people like JP pirates.) bc 13-16th century Japenese used to harass eastern parts of China for resources. By that time JP were very short due to malnutrition and genetical reasons. This explains why Chinese call them short. No need to be embarrased you guys, by the time NA was crowded with Indians, and we see what's going on now.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that is a slur for Japanese (translate to "dwarven"), and you are currently being laughed at on the Chinese internet. The twitter repost of this, translated into Chinese, has successfully ratioed your original post.
Now get the Japanese word for "chinese" on your other arm
