What are the Japanese origin words in modern Chinese?

An incomplete count of more than 1,000.

Japan was the first country in Asia to open up to the outside world. During the Meiji period, a large number of Japanese scholars studied in Europe, and created a lot of modern Chinese based on Western vocabulary. It can be said that the culture of Chinese characters was well integrated with Western civilization through Japan.

In fact, during the Qing Dynasty, domestic scholars also created some new vocabulary, but it was not successful. Because the Chinese literati liked to show off their literary skills, the more profound the words they made, the better they looked, so they didn't think about popularization. At that time, Chinese words such as "de lu feng" (德律风), which is difficult for a person who has not learned English to think of as a telephone, and the Japanese word "telephone" are much easier to understand.

The Chinese language is divided into a standard language and a dialect

Modern Standard Chinese, known as Mandarin, is based on the Beijing dialect, which is spoken in Jinguotun Township, Luanping County, Chengde City, Hebei Province, and on the Guanhua dialect, with the modern modern vernacular writings as the grammatical norms. In modern Standard Chinese, there are four tones, except for the light tones***.
