Recently, in the forum, there are always ah San in the posts. The Bangzi are called India and South Korea. I can't help but wonder why they are so called. So I checked it and the following is the answer. If you want to have a better explanation, please give me some advice!
Bangzi: according to the Korean people, in the Tang Dynasty, China once invaded Korea. The golden and iron horses we sent out were extremely brave, which made many Korean generals helpless. However, their leaders were very smart. They could only beat the Tang people with a wooden stick. So they felt very proud, so they called them Koryo Bangzi. In fact, they didn't need to think about it Dao is false. Can a broken stick beat a golden horse? It is estimated that it is just YY of South Korea. Even if it is true, it is also distorted
A 3: India's origin is in the past. Because they are leaders of the non aligned movement (a loose alliance of dozens of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America), Indians arrogantly claim that the United States is one pole and the former Soviet Union is one pole. As leaders of the non aligned movement, they are worthy of the third pole. Self esteem is quite high, did not put China in the eye, finally arrogant and China to fight. Of course, as you know, the Chinese took the plastic soles and gently slapped him twice on the buttocks. From then on, India was disgraced. They said that the hero would not spank his face, especially if he would lift his pants after finishing the beating and send them home with good advice. This is even more humiliating. Up to now, Indians can't forgive China. Since then, some good people in China have called India A-San. Of course, Vietnam was also called the third in the world later, but the Chinese people seem to have always sniffed at it. Up to now, no one has called Vietnam A-San.
Another: seven or eighty years ago, Shanghai was still a concession, so many foreigners, especially the British, made up the vast majority! In order to maintain the security of the Shanghai concession, the British sought many Sikhs from India to serve as security police.
These Indians are very black skin, and because of religious belief, their heads are wrapped in red scarves. So people in Shanghai called these Indian policemen "red heads and black coals" at the beginning.
However, the public servants (especially the police) in the British system have long been used to being called sir (see Jackie Chan's police series, don't they all call the police Asir or police sir?). In addition, Shanghai people have always used to add a word "a" before a monosyllabic word. So the people of Shanghai called Asir as ah San, and the Indian police were called "red headed ah San".
A few months later, the Shanghai people found that not every Indian was a Sikh with a red scarf. There were many other religious people in India who did not wear a red scarf. So Shanghai people simply changed "red headed A-San" to "Indian A-3". As a result, this impolite sign has been used to this day. Almost everyone in the Chinese area is still used to calling Indians "Indian three".
In addition, there is a highly reliable saying that has been included in the Encyclopedia of slang dictionaries. At that time, the people of Shanghai concession often communicated with these Indian police officers. However, the English of Chinese people was not good, and the English of Indians was also strange. Therefore, the "police civilian communication" in Shanghai at that time could be said to be a chicken talk with a duck, which was very difficult!
However, the Shanghai people have found a new joy in this kind of communication. Because they found that every time the Indian police met the sharp tongued people in Shanghai, they always met red eared, hesitant and stammered, "I say... I say...". So the Shanghainese changed the classic stuttering sentence of Indian police: "I say" in Shanghainese into "ah San".
Because of the above two reasons, the "Indian" and "Indian A-San" have been vividly equated since then. Think of it, Indians are really wronged! There is no reason why there is more than "Indian three"!
