Why are Japanese called devils?

China people call the Japanese "devils", but they actually originated from "foreign devils". When modern China people meet westerners for the first time, they find that they are blonde, with high nose and deep eyes and long hair, which seriously violates their traditional aesthetic standards, but some of them conform to the "ghosts" described in the legend.

Most of these people are not out of national friendship, but for aggression. They also drove the Great Qing Dynasty out of Beijing twice, burning, killing, looting and doing nothing, which made the people of the whole country lose face and angry, so they got the name.

In the traditional impression of China people, ghost is the soul after death, commonly known as ghost. It is said that they are generally fierce and scary in appearance. There is also a folklore called Zhong Kui, who is responsible for catching ghosts and keeping people safe. Therefore, in Chinese, the word "ghost" is generally a derogatory term. Such as "nonsense", "ghost", "heavy smoker" and "alcoholic". So it gives me the feeling that all the guys called "devils" are mostly guys who don't look like people or have no heart.
