Wiktionary says Manga (same characters, but pronounced manhua in Chinese) is a Japanese word loaned into Chinese (about 20% of Chinese words are of Japanese origin, though more Japanese words are of Chinese origin). Chinese nationalists are kind of out of their minds when it comes to anything in Japan or Korea. Everything is from China, and if it isn't those places actually used to be part of China so it's still from China. That's funny, when I check Wiki it says just the opposite: Etymology: The word manhua (lit. transl. 'impromptu sketches') was originally an 18th-century term used in Chinese literati painting. It became popular in Japan as manga in the late 18th century. Either way, I hear what you're saying. I'm part Asian but not Chinese, but most of the mainlanders were like "you're totally Chinese...everything east Asian is really just Chinese..." --- There is no good. There is no evil. There just is. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
