What is the historical origin of the emergence of overseas "Chinatown"?

The earliest Chinatown called "Datang Street". 1673, Nalan Seide "Bryan Shui Ting Miscellany": "Japan, the Tang Dynasty began to people to them, and the residents called 'Datang Street', and is now 10 miles long carry on. "

That year, Zhigang in the "first to make Tassie" in: "Jinshan for the countries trading area, China's Guangdong people to trade here, not less than tens of thousands. The stores and buildings were all rented from foreigners. Therefore, foreigners call it 'Chinatown'. Six guildhouses were established." In 1887, Wang Yongni also used "Chinatown" in his "Returning to China Diary": "Jinshan is the area of the Pacific Ocean trading hub, the Chinese came here 60,000 to 70,000 people, rented houses and set up restaurants, the foreigners called it Chinatown. The name of the six guilds was San Yi, said Yang He." This quote from Wang Yongni is similar to Zhigang's. Prior to this, Wang may have read the "Record of the First Mission to Thailand", so he follows Zhigang's "Chinatown" here. "Chinatown" is a name coined by Cantonese-Chinese.

Zhang was fluent in English and called Chinatown Chinatown in English. In fact, Zhang Deyi was even more direct before this, and he directly translated Chinatown as "China Town", such as "Voyage to Describe the Wonderful" (1866): "When I arrived at the country of Annam, i.e., the country of Jiao Tong in Vietnam, I went to the country of Anan, which is more than forty miles northwest of the city of Tianjin. ...... further north-west by more than forty miles, there is 'Chinatown', so called because there are thousands of Chinese trading there."

City in the center of Moscow, women's walls, high bottom, completely Chinese style, the Chinese name is called China Town." Today's Li Ou Fan has an essay on Chinatown, entitled "America's" China Town "(1975), the article said:" Chinatown is the old Chinese hotbed, the new Chinese meeting place. It is also the little China in the eyes of Americans. Perhaps we should translate Chinatown's original English name directly and simply call it 'China Town' (Chinatown), which might be more appropriate."

But in any case, "Chinatown" is still more commonly used than "China Town".

The Tang dynasty was a powerful one in Chinese history. Overseas Chinese often refer to themselves as "Tang" and the area where they live is called "Chinatown". The largest Chinatown in the United States is in San Francisco. San Francisco's "Chinatown" began around 1850. When the Chinese workers who developed the west coast of the United States came to a foreign country for the first time, they did not know each other well and could not speak the same language, so they concentrated on living together to unite and help each other, and to be in solidarity with each other***. At first, they opened small teahouses and restaurants for the convenience of Chinese laborers, followed by tofu factories, laundries, etc., which gradually formed the living quarters of Chinese laborers. Later, more and more locals frequented the area, calling it "China Town" and falling in love with the Chinese food. Later, Chinatown became a bustling street, where not only the food industry, but also embroidery, Chinese antiques and so on, enjoyed a good reputation in the area. At the same time, Chinatown set up schools for Chinese children, engaging in Chinese language education. There are also various hometown associations, clubs, theaters, and so on, making it a special neighborhood with Chinese national characteristics. During the Chinese New Year, there are dragon lanterns, lion dances, and firecrackers to get rid of the old year, preserving all the traditional Chinese customs. As a matter of fact, Chinatown is found in many parts of the world, but some places don't call it that.

Chinatown, also known as Chinatown, is an area where Chinese people live in urban areas in other countries. The formation of Chinatown is due to the early Chinese migrated overseas, became a local minority, in the face of the new environment needs to be in the same boat **** help, so they live together in a zone, so most of the Chinatown is a kind of witness of the history of the Chinese diaspora. Most of the Chinatown is a testimony to the history of the Chinese community. In Chinatown, there are many Chinese restaurants and laundries, which were the main business of the Chinese community in the early days. Some of the older Chinatowns are located in the old neighborhoods of immigrant cities, where the environment is more crowded, and security and racial issues are also a problem in some Chinatowns. Over the years, as the Chinese have become more affluent and their status in foreign countries has gradually increased, a new generation of Chinese immigrants has chosen to live in other areas of the immigrant cities, and some Chinatowns have experienced a phenomenon of the Chinese population moving out of the neighborhoods and the population is aging. In many places, Chinatown has now become synonymous with the Chinese cultural district. Whether it is business, entertainment, or various cultural facilities, all of them reflect the colors of the Oriental China. It doesn't have the original intention of being a Chinese settlement anymore.

Synopsis ------

Description. In the 1930s, a private investigator in Los Angeles is hired by a noblewoman to detect her husband's affair, but he becomes embroiled in a complex plutocratic conspiracy and incestuous tragedy. This is a nostalgic detective film with a complex plot and a strong sense of drama, written, directed and acted by John Huston. The Archdemon, played by John Huston, doesn't have much of an appearance, but he does a good job of showing the abominations of a heartless plutocrat. Unfortunately, the movie has a rather strong Chinese insulting flavor, which the Chinese audience can't agree with.
