译文简介
和中国人最好打交道，和本地人很好交朋友，因为即使在公共场合他们会主动和外国人交谈，即使毫不相识。现在最明显的是，中国人有些吵，哈哈，但公平地说，都是些老年人这样，在公共场合吸烟吐痰且毫不在意.

The REAL Difference Between Chinese, Korean & Japanese People
中国人、韩国人和日本人的真正区别
评论翻译
Etsuko Nishiki
I'm a Japanese living in Tokyo, but for some reason, when I went to Osaka or Seoul, people thought I was a local and asked me for directions(I tried hard to explain to an old lady that I can't speak Korean^^;).
Also, once in Sea-Tac airport, a Chinese-American staff at a souvenir shop told me she thought I was Chinese(She found out I was Japanese when I spoke to her, haha!).
Maybe it's because I have the appearance of the south Osaka area. It is said that lots of people from Baekje(百済), one of the ancient Korean Kingdoms, migrated to that area a long long time ago, and I look like my grandfather who was born there. Anyway, no matter where I go, I find it easy to fit in with the place, it's safe in a way and I think it's interesting.
我是住在东京的日本人，但不知为何，当我去大阪或首尔时，人们总把我当成是本地人，还向我问路（我还曾经一个劲地跟位老太太解释我不是韩国人）
此外，有一次在美国西塔科机场，一家纪念品商店的美籍华裔工作人员跟我说，她以为我是中国人(我一开口，她才发现我是日本人，哈哈!)
也许是因为我长得像大阪南部地区的人。听说那里有很多百济人(百済)，很久很久以前，古朝鲜的一个王国迁居到哪里，我长得跟那里的先祖挺像。不管怎样，无论我去哪里，我发现很容易适应那里的，有种莫名的安全感，感觉挺开心。

Chinese is extreme case of analog type of language where you literally have to 'draw' it. It's very artistic and beautiful yet inefficient. Korean is another extreme case and completely opposite of Chinese language where its structure is very digital, one of very few 'two dimentional' language in the world where you can construct a letter or a word like building a Lego with different parts. It's very efficient and logical.
汉字是种极端抽象的象形文字，你必须真的要“画”出来。相当艺术感，非常漂亮，不过书写效率很低。朝鲜字是另一个极端，与汉字完全相反，它的结构异常数字化，是世界上为数不多的“二维”语言之一，你可以用不同的部分构造一个字母或一个单词，就像搭乐高积木一样。效率高，较为符合逻辑。

My friend was born in the Guangdong province and moved to Australia as teen. He later became a musician working with a Japanese label and moved to Japan. He first lived in Osaka in a house that was Japanese only. I was supposed to stay with him, but he had completely forgot to ask, if I could. It wasn't possible. He looked so Japanese, that they didn't think, he could have been anything else.
And when we asked for directions, they talked to him in regular Japanese. When we were out of the store, I asked him, if he understood, what they said. Well, I had understood more than him (I've been learning Japanese longer than him at that time)
我有个朋友，他出生在中国广东，青少年时移居澳大利亚。后来，他成为了一名音乐人跟一家日资公司合作，之后移居日本。他刚到大阪时，住的地方是全是日本人。我本该和他呆在一起，但他完全忘了问我是否可以。可能我不适合。他看起来很像日本人，那里的人也看不出来他是哪儿的人。

The truth is that most of the time you can’t know for sure. A lot of “appearance” that is used to make these decisions is actually based on make-up, hair and clothing style. I’m of Chinese descent, but often mistaken for Japanese or Korean people who are Japanese or Korean, and most recently, mistaken for hapa by someone from China.
事实上你大多时候是分辨不出来的，对方究竟是哪国人，人们大都是基于对方“外表”比如化妆、发型和衣服穿戴风格来分辨的。我有中国血统，但经常被他人误认为是日本或韩国人，最近有个中国人还把我认成是日本人呢。

I think this was touched on a bit, but i think the subtle differences even when we all grow up in America tends to keep Chinese, Japanese and Koreans from marrying each other. On a completely different subject, Korean writing system was made to represent the sound they make when you read them. It's one of the easiest writing system to learn as each "letter" is comprised of two or more to make one sound. ㅇ+ ㅏ = 아, making a sound like "ah"
我觉得有点牵强，但我认为即使我们都在美国长大，细微的差异往往会阻止中日韩的人相互通婚。在文字概念上，韩文书写系统就像是拼音，其文字就是记录下你发出的音。它是最容易学习的书写系统之一，因为每个“字母”由两个或两个以上的字母组成，一个音就可以代替。比如ㅇ+ㅏ=아，就可以发出“啊”的音

Where I'm from it very common for east asian to date each other. Extremely common, just got back from chinese and korean wedding not long ago.
在我老家，东亚人互相约会很常见。常有的事，不久前我还刚参加完中韩两国人的结婚典礼回来。

As someone who's traveled a bit, and seen people from all over...
While I do think there exists some general stereotypes for people (i.e. Koreans/Filipinos like to sing), they are vastly over done, and still don't fully capture just how different people are, even within the same family.
I do think some cultures bring out certain sides of people that other cultures do not. For example, I feel Mexicans are outgoing, and I feel more social around them. I think Koreans are outgoing but insular (don't let non-Koreans into their clique), Chinese people are outgoing and fairly open to others, and the Japanese a bit quieter.
But no matter how much there is a culture of something, humans base characteristics won't change. Quiet people will always be quiet people, even if they are in a very loud country. They might become louder, but it would take a lot for them to be a loud person.
There even was a study of an AI program who tried to classify where an Asian person was from. The program couldn't determine much from base looks, but found overwhelming evidence for clothing and attire. I think this alone shows just how bad humans are at stereotyping, especially when it comes to large populations.
Which I think is a bigger problem in western countries, where many people don't really get to see the full experience of being around a large enough group of Asians to really see how that plays out. This of course leads to oddly specific racial stereotyping. At least for Asian men (before the last five years), you were either the nerd, the kung-fu master, or the "small-penis" jokster (a la Ken Jeong style).
作为一个经常出国旅行的人，我去过不少地方，基本上哪的人都接触过
虽然我认为人们确有存在一些固有刻板印象(比如韩国人,菲律宾人都喜欢唱卡拉OK)，但有些刻板印象太夸张了，而且没有完全指出不同地方人的区别，即使是来自同一血统家族。
我确实认为有些文化能激发出人们的某方面的表达，不过有的却不能。例如，我觉得墨西哥人很外向，和他们在一起会令我更有亲切感。韩国人很外向，但很封闭(非韩国人是进入不了他们小圈子的)，中国人很外向，对他人相当友善，日本人则比较安静。
但无论文化有多不同，人类的基本特征都不会改变。爱静的人永远不会大声张扬，即使他们在一个非常吵闹的国家里。他们说话声可能会变得更大，但要成为一个常大声说话的人则要付出很大的努力。
对此甚至还出现一款试图对亚洲人的血统进行区分的AI分析程序。该程序无法从外貌上得到什么结果，但却从服装和着装上找到了锚点决定性证据。我认为这本身就说明了人类在刻板印象方面有多糟糕，尤其是在涉及到不同群体时。
我认为西方人在这个问题上更为突出，在西方国家里，那的人大多没有进入或体验亚洲人群体的社交环境，有些事情他们无法理解。这当然会导致奇怪的特定的种族刻板印象。至少在他们看待亚洲男生方面上，认为男生要么是书呆子，要么是功夫大师，要么就是“小弟弟”那样的搞笑丑角(就如(美籍韩裔男演员)郑肯那样)。

I definitely see how the “good looking” label on Korean people spread. my mom comes from a region in China with tons of ethnically Korean people (Chinese Koreans, speaking Korean and stuff, but have been residing within Chinese borders). My mom says they have big, round face and small eyes, monolids, which is not considered attractive in the traditional East Asian beauty standard. But also my mom says they also have this reputation of having clear and “lighter” skin. But now Kpop is everywhere and people start to appreciate the “Korean faces” — it’s delicate and young-looking. Also people seem to move on from the traditional notion of who is better looking.
我很清楚韩国人如何给人以“漂亮”的印象的。我妈是中国朝鲜族人(中国朝鲜族，会说朝鲜话，但一直住在中国境内)。我妈说他们族人的脸都是又大又圆，小眼睛，单眼皮，不太符合东亚人传统审美观。但我妈妈有说，他们有干净、肤白的好名声。但现在韩国流行音乐无处不在，人们开始欣赏“韩国脸”——精致而“嫩”的模样。此外，人们也不太纠结谁更漂亮，这种传统审美观了。
CocaineMinor
Korean as always be called good looking in Asia since K-pop hit Asia during the 2000s
But for the western world idk but it's new to them i guess lol.
自从韩流音乐在21世纪在亚洲火以来之后，韩国人就给亚洲人以好看的印象。但对西方人来说，给他们的感觉是新鲜，哈哈。
Rosie Y
@CocaineMinor yeah, my mom's stereotypes date back to the 1970s at least. I think as kpop/drama wave started, people also started to gain the new stereotype of plastic surgery and obsession with looks/appearances. I think this mixed stereotype spread across East and SE Asian much earlier than how it starts to spread in the West and the globe.
是啊，我妈的刻板印象至少从70年代就开始有了。我认为，随着韩流的兴起，人们也开始对整形手术产生了新的刻板印象，对外表相当看重。我认为这种混在一起的刻板印象在东亚和东南亚传播的时间比在西方世界传播的时间要早得多。
Hamid Mahdi
Funny you mention the Korean language is almost like drawing faces. I was taught that the design of the letters is based on how you hold your mouth and tongue.
有趣的是你提到些韩国字就像画人脸一样。别人教我的时候写的时候，感觉字母的设计取决于你说话时的嘴和舌头的位置。
Kevin Brathwaite
Besides the physical features of East Asians, the cultures have a lot in common the only way that I'll be able to differentiate most of the time is the languages 日本 , 中国 , 대한민국 , 북한
除了东亚人的身体特征，他们的文化也有很多共同之处，我能分出他们的唯一方法就是通过语言文字。
Andrés Jeong
something that you guys missed is the fact that all the professional terms in chinese character were replaced in korean character long ago.
你们忽略了一个事实，所有的中文专业术语在很久以前就被韩文替换掉了。
Heavenly Path
Korean: Talks shit in your face but later apologises.
Japanese: Smiles and talks shit behind your back.
Chinese: Talk shit in your face and don't give af
（生气后）韩国人:当你面说不是，事后道歉。日本人:当面微笑，背后骂娘。中国人:当你面说不是，但事后从不上心。
Super Cal
talking shit in your face and not give a fuccck about it is the way to go.
当你面说不是，事后从不上心，这才是正确的方式。
joe k
Have to disagree, i have yet to recieve one apology from any of my korean exes..
不是这样把，到现在我还没有从我的韩国前任那里收到过一个道歉…
Gotwired
There are stereotypical looks of each type, but there is so much overlap that it is impossible to tell individuals with certainty.
每一国家的人都有典型的长相，但相似点太多，所以弄不准对方是哪个国家的人。
Renee Hirsch
Completely agree. My Japanese mother gets mistaken for Korean all the time. She doesn’t have the slim face or pointy nose.
确实这样。我的日本妈妈总是被误认为是韩国人。就因为她没有瘦瘦的脸和尖尖的鼻子。
Phil Shin
Korean Baekjae dynasty moved to Japan, obviously current Japanese DNA is a mix of several roots including Korean. Even Koreans are mix of several roots including Eurasia, Mongols, etc
朝鲜Baekjae王朝迁往日本，显然现在日本人的DNA也含有韩国人的血统。甚至韩国人也是欧亚大陆、蒙古等多种血统的混血人种
Unko Power
some Korean have a 'classic' Korean face that you can spot right away, usually angular, sharp hard angles. Like an underdrawing when drawing a face portrait. A lot of Japanese women do have buck teeth, like you almost want to offer them a carrot. And Japanese do not have long legs, usually short. Japan uses too many English loanwords, they should stick more to Japanese. It's a cliche in Japan (one that seems accurate) that some of the best and most famous singers are actually Korean blood. Also Matsuda Yusaku one of Japan's top movie idols was part Korean.
有些韩国人的脸很“经典”，你一眼就能看出来他是哪的人，韩国人面部通常是棱角分明。他们的脸就像画人脸肖像时的底稿。很多日本女人都有龅牙，让你感觉恨不得塞给她们一根胡萝卜一样。日本人腿短。日本话里夹杂有大量英语外来词，他们应该多学学日语。在日本，有些最火、最著名的歌手实际上都有韩国血统，虽然有些调侃的感觉（但确实如此)。比如日本最顶级的影视偶像松田优作就是这样。
The Red Bar-Cross
All the stereotypes about Chinese in the Western world pertain to southern Chinese, mostly the Cantonese.
Northeasterners are entirely different, and more like Koreans. Northwesterners are like Russians and Central Asian: direct, blunt, and aggressive.
Southwesterners are like Thai, subdued, friendly and passive.
西方世界对中国人的所有刻板印象都与中国南方人有关，主要源于广东人。
中国东北人完全不同，他们更像韩国人。中国西北人就像俄罗斯、中亚人一样:直接、直率、好斗。
西南的人跟泰国人一样，温顺、友好、被动。

@The Red Bar-Cross....Everyone that knows China should know that China is not a homogenous country. The country has multiple ethnic groups and diverse phenotypes depending on the region they come from. Many Chinese citizens are also of Korean ethnic background especially close to the North Korean border.
凡是了解中国的人都应该知道，中国是一个多民族国家。这个国家民族众多、各民族性格表现各有不同。许多中国公民也有朝鲜族背景，尤其是靠近朝鲜边境的那些人。
Jk
because north east china is the region of koreanic, tungus, manchu people. north east china was once korean kingdom called gogureyo, balhae.
因为中国东北大多是朝鲜族、通古斯族、满族人的聚集地。中国东北曾经是朝鲜王国所在地，又叫做高句丽，渤海国。
type95
@Jk Northeastern China belongs to native Han people.
中国东北是汉族的故乡。
Jk
@type95 lol, north eastern china is home to manchu, tungus and koreanic people not han. goguryeo fought against the han.
哈哈，中国东北是满族、通古斯人和韩国人的故乡，不是汉人的。高句丽以前还跟汉朝打过仗呢。

@Online Online Account .Everyone that knows China should know that China is not a homogenous country
Newsflash, most people don't...as a matter of fact, i've heard people saying that asia is just one big country...
“凡是了解中国的人都应该知道，中国是一个多民族国家”
插一句，事实上大多数人不知道……，我听人说亚洲就是一个大个国家

@lyhthegreat Lol i wrote should know if you dont know that the ignorance on their part. Funny you sa people think many belief Asia is this one big monolith country. Because if you ask Asians they think the same of Africa but complain if people think the same of Asia ? Bit ironic dont you think
哈哈，那是因为说这话的人无知。有意思的是，你认为很多人认为亚洲是一个大个整体国家。但你问亚洲人，他们怎么看非洲的，实际上他们跟你们看亚洲的看法一样，不过要是有人分不出对方是亚洲那里国家人，他们会抱怨的！有点讽刺，你不觉得吗
Darryl T
I thought I could after meeting many in college but nope, I still get it wrong when meeting new Asians. For east Asians, it's the moment they speak the English language when I can tell if they are Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. As for Asian Americans born in America/2nd+ gen, I can only tell if I hang out with them and at some point their accent will slip up somewhere in the in their English language lol.
上大学后我接触到不少外国人，我觉得我应该能分出来，可惜不能，当我见到一个新亚洲人时，我还会是猜错他是哪国的人。对东亚人来说，只有在他们张嘴用英语讲话的那一刻，我才能分辨出他们是日本、中国、韩国还是越南人。至于出生在美国的亚裔美国人、美国二代华裔，我只能说如果我和他们一起出去玩时，偶尔会从他们说英语时的口音中猜出来对方的老家是哪里的，哈哈。
CocaineMinor
Well they ain't that different from mainland China lol
Their culture is literally the same as Chinese Han culture.
好吧，他们和中国大陆没什么不同，哈哈，他们的文化和中国汉文化是一样的。
elekow
@CocaineMinor I think Koreans are completely different from Japanese and Chinese. Historically, they are a people who have maintained their independence under Chinese oppression. What the Chinese misunderstand is that they don't know how much Koreans have tried to externalize Chinese culture and protect their identity. For example, look at han-gul, they are the first countries to artificially invent and distribute their own character. It is also different from Japan, which still relies on Chinese characters
我认为韩国人与日本人和中国人一点都不一样。历史上，他们都是在古中国压迫下保持独立的民族。中国人想不通的是，他们不理解韩国人为什么为自身身份想方设法要摆脱中国文化的印记。比如韩文，他们是第一个人为创造和传播自己的字符的国家。韩国跟日本不同，日本文字书写仍然依赖中国的汉字
Eric K. Sohn
@elekow its irony because the time when Korea was in tight grasp of Chinese influence was when Han Chinese were not ruling...
讽刺的是，当韩国被中国牢牢控制的时候，汉人还没有统治…
Attis
Koreans are actually culturally quite different to nomadic mongolians and dongbei people of the northeast. There are a lot of rules and rituals to be followed, and the language itself strictly follows hierarchy-based honorifics. These are all absent in Mongolia and Mainland China. Most Koreans aren't even that fiery, but more passive (or passive-aggressive). There is a whole 锚点culture of nunchi, which better elaborates on this. A lot of the stereotypes being talked about here (about Koreans) are quite out-dated, or mis-guided.
实际上，韩国人在文化上与蒙古游牧民族和中国东北人有很大的不同。韩国人有很多烦文缛节需要遵守，语言本身严格遵循基于身份地位的敬语。但这些在蒙古和中国大陆都没有。大多数韩国人甚至没有那么暴躁，而是更被动(或被动攻击)。他们的“眼力见”文化（注：nunchi，特指韩国人看什么人说什么话做什么事的“能力”），更好地说明了这一点。这里谈论的很多(关于韩国人的)刻板印象都是老看法，或是被误导了。
sunwoo lee
I disagree with Atti ‘s opinion. His opinions confuse others. Of course, it is true that there are differences, but he makes the mistake of explaining the differences in too much detail. I want to ask him Why are more than 10% of modern Mongolians fluent in Korean language today? we dont even have a border connected. they are easy to learn the language because Mongolians share a similar mentality with Koreans.
我不同意楼上的观点。他的意见令人不解。当然，确实存在差异，但他犯了一个错误，把这种差异分析的过分细致了。我想说，为什么现在10%以上的蒙古人能流利地说韩语?而且韩蒙两国互不相邻。这说明韩语很好学，因为蒙古人和韩国人有着类似的思维方式。

Did you see the Asian Boss video about how there was a survey that many Koreans didn't like Chinese people?
The video title is probably something along the lines of interviewing Korean about Chinese people.
你看过《亚洲掌柜》这个（韩国）综艺节目么?有个调查显示很多韩国人不喜欢中国人。
这个节目就像是街访韩国人对中国人的看法。
Zsari Maxim
All three dislike each other.
三方国家的人都彼此看不上对方
wei zhou
yet, Asian boss video also suggested that those korean people tend to have neutral view toward China if they have been to China.
by contrast, most Chinese have positive view about Korean and Japan, as their neighboring countries.
然而，《亚洲掌柜》这个综艺节目也表明，如果那些受访韩国人去过中国，他们对中国的看法往往都会变的客观。
相比之下，大多数中国人对韩国和日本这两个邻国态度较为积极。

Double eyelids among Chinese are due to the southern orientation of Chinese compared with Koreans and Mongolians. Southern Chinese have nearly 0 Caucasoid component(actually even less than Koreans) but the occurrence of double eyelids among Southern Chinese is even higher than among Northwestern Chinese Who actually have a very small amount of Caucasoid admixture.
Southeast Asians have more double eyelids than even Southern Chinese. Genetically Chinese, even Northern Chinese, are between Northeastern Asians and Southeastern Asians.
中国人之所以有双眼皮，是因为中国人特征比韩国人、蒙古人更像南方人。中国南方人几乎没有白种人基因(实际上甚至比韩国人还少)，但中国南方人的双眼皮出现率甚至比西北人还要高，可实际上西北人身上的白种人基因更少。
东南亚人的双眼皮甚至比中国南方人的还要多。从基因方面来看，中国人，即使是中国的北方人特征，也介于东北亚人和东南亚人之间。
CocaineMinor
Who told you that?
Southern Chinese also have single eyelid
And northern Chinese and Korean also have double eyelid so your just streotyping them lol.
你听谁说的?南方中国人也有单眼皮的
北方中国人和韩国人也有双眼皮，你只把问题看总结的太简单了，呵呵。

Also no one tribe is behind the genesis of Koreans, the most recent nature article that came out explains that all three sphere of genetic and linguistic influences (i.e.,锚点 sinto-tibetan, amurian, and jomon) were and are all found in the modern-day Koreans.
最近《自然》杂志发表的文章也解释说，汉藏语系、阿尔泰语系、绳文（日语）三种语言的影响在现代韩语中都有存在。
lyhthegreat
jomons were in korea at one point too? i thought the jomons were native to the japan island while the yayaoi were the once that crossed the land bridge many years ago and went over to japan and the modern day japanese were the mixture of them both?
绳人在朝鲜也存在过一段时间?我以为绳人是日本本土人，而“弥生人”是很久前跨过大陆桥来到日本的，而现代日本人是两者的混血?

Modern Chinese language actually has a lot of word that’s loaned from modern Japanese especially words from European languages that first got translated by Japanese
现代汉语字词实际上有很多词是从现代日语借来的，尤其是从欧洲语言借来的词，这些词最初是由日语翻译过来的
Say No To White Imperialism And Propaganda
LMFAO, what BS. Japanese only borrow from Chinese, like half of the kanji is ripped off Chinese writing. Chinese might have some words borrowed from European language like cool, cola, etc.
笑死我了，胡说八道，日本只从中国借鉴，感觉一半的日本中的汉字是从中国文字里扒来的。中文可能会有一些词是从欧洲语言借鉴的，比如cool（酷）、cola（可乐）什么的。
nosuchpersonexisted
When it comes to foreign borrow words, those you called "college level" words, China borrow heavily from Japan since Japan opened up its border to western influence long before China. Back in the days, when people in China want to travel to a foreign country to learn, Japan was one of the top country to go. Sun Yat-sen spent times in Japan when he was organizing revolutions in China. One example of Japan's influence on Chinese words is that the Chinese words of "communism" is a borrowed word from Japan. In fact, in China's official name PRC, R is for republic, and modern Chinese word for republic is a world orginated in China, but Japan took it to represent the translation of "republic". Later on China borrowed this idea from Japan.
说到舶来词，也就是你们所说的“大学水平”词汇，中文词从日本大量借用，因为日本早于中国就向西方进行了开放。以前，当中国人想去国外旅游学习时，日本是首选国家之一。孙中山在中国组织革命时还曾在日本呆过一段时间。本对汉语词汇影响的一个例子是，汉语中的“共产主义”一词是从日本借来的。事实上，在中国的官方英文名称PRC中，R代表共和国，现代中国汉语中的“共和国”一词原意是“公共事务”，但日本把它当作代表“共和国”的翻译。后来，中国从日本借鉴了这个想法。

Double eyelid surgery was sold to Koreans by an American that thought Korean natural eyes looked suspicious and sold the concept to them. I am not sure if double eyelid is popular in Japan but surely in china too. I wonder how much this affects people's perception on how good a particular east Asian looks
有个美国人认为韩国人的眼睛看起来像是疑神疑鬼的，于是向韩国人推销了双眼皮手术。我不确定双眼皮是否在日本流行，但肯定在中国也流行。我想知道这在多大程度上影响了人们对某个东亚人外貌的看法
lyhthegreat
it is but it's not as common in japan as i believe there are more japanese that are born with double eyelids than koreans lol
双眼皮手术在日本可不常见，因为我相信日本人天生双眼皮肯定比韩国的人多，哈哈
Alex Bayan
One distinguishing feature most people miss is that Koreans tend to have a lot of chin, Park Chanho is the prime example. This gives an overall appearance of a flatter face. There is obviously a lot of overlap but there are certain facial types that are typically Korean and there are other types that are certainly not Korean(ie too southern or too Caucasoid etc.) but can be Chinese or Japanese(too Ainu, too much hair, too Caucasoid etc). Most(but not all) Koreans can pass for a Chinese or a Japanese, but the reverse is not true. There are certain types among Chinese or Japanese who cannot pass for a Korean. In this sense Koreans are phenotypically more homogenous(ie Koreans tend to look the same. and this is not due to plastic surgery. Non-entertainer Korean men do not have plastic surgery that often).
One distinguishing feature of Japanese is that their women have bow legs. It is pretty serious. Koreans too are slightly more bow legged than Chinese and Chinese are more bow legged than Southeast Asians.
韩国人一个显著特征我想大家都没注意，那就是韩国人下巴一般都较长，朴昌浩就是代表。这会让你的脸整体看起来更扁平。亚洲国家的人面部特征都很明显相似的地方也很多，但有些面部类型一看就是典型的韩国人，而其他的肯定不是，大概率是中国或日本人。大多数(不是所有)韩国人都可以装作是中国或日本人，但反过来就不是这样了。在中国人或日本人中，有些人怎么看都不会认作是韩国人。从这个意义上来讲，说明韩国人在外形面貌上同质的厉害(即韩国人往往看起来一样。这并不是因为整形手术的原因。因为不是娱乐圈的韩国男生是不常做整形手术的)。
thor wtf
Koreans are taller and have fair skin compared to Chinese and Japanese who are smaller and darker, with slightly bigger heads.
与中日两国人相比，韩国人个子更高，皮肤更白。中日两国人个子小，肤色深，脑袋大。

i rarely have experience with korean but i have experience with chinese and japanese people and the stereotype about them kinda true. japanese look polite in front of u but u cant be sure what they think inside their head. Meanwhile chinese really are loud and put priority on money. they even play mahjong after funeral.
我很少遇到韩国人，但我接触过不少中国人和日本人，对他们的刻板印象确实如此。日本人在你面前看起来彬彬有礼，但你不知道他们脑子里此时在想什么。与此同时，中国人嗓音门大，干什么都提钱。他们甚至在葬礼过后还玩麻将。

as a foreigner who went to their countries, i’ll say
koreans are more closed into their owm clicks ( hard to make friends in korea)
china easiest to make friends with locals as they are open to talking to foreigners in public / meeting , even strangers..
now the obvious one … chinese are loud AF in china hahah mostly older ones to be fair, with the IDGAF smoking / spitting in public
japan are shy, but manners is the Best best from all asia , with taiwan being second place.
i lived in china for 3 years
lived in taiwan for 4 years
so i think that makes me someone who can speak on it from
a general perspective.
also traveled to korea/ japan few times while living in mainland china
Chinese def love money lol so much that in china they literally say “
作为一个去过这些国家的外国人，我想说几句
韩国人特别爱上网玩而且沉迷其中喜欢宅在家中（在韩国很难交朋友)
和中国人最好打交道，和本地人很好交朋友，因为即使在公共场合他们会主动和外国人交谈，即使毫不相识。
现在最明显的是，中国人有些吵，哈哈，但公平地说，都是些老年人这样，在公共场合吸烟吐痰且毫不在意
日本人很害羞，是亚洲最有礼貌的人，台湾人排其次。
我在中国和他们的台湾省各呆了三年，综合来看，我算是有些话语权，我在中国的时候期间也去过韩国和日本几次。
中国人太喜欢钱（红包）了，哈哈，在中国他们真就会跟你直说的。

汉字是种极端抽象的象形文字，你必须真的要“画”出来。相当艺术感，非常漂亮，不过书写效率很低。朝鲜字是另一个极端，与汉字完全相反，它的结构异常数字化，是世界上为数不多的“二维”语言之一，你可以用不同的部分构造一个字母或一个单词，就像搭乐高积木一样。效率高，较为符合逻辑。

My friend was born in the Guangdong province and moved to Australia as teen. He later became a musician working with a Japanese label and moved to Japan. He first lived in Osaka in a house that was Japanese only. I was supposed to stay with him, but he had completely forgot to ask, if I could. It wasn't possible. He looked so Japanese, that they didn't think, he could have been anything else.
And when we asked for directions, they talked to him in regular Japanese. When we were out of the store, I asked him, if he understood, what they said. Well, I had understood more than him (I've been learning Japanese longer than him at that time)
我有个朋友，他出生在中国广东，青少年时移居澳大利亚。后来，他成为了一名音乐人跟一家日资公司合作，之后移居日本。他刚到大阪时，住的地方是全是日本人。我本该和他呆在一起，但他完全忘了问我是否可以。可能我不适合。他看起来很像日本人，那里的人也看不出来他是哪儿的人。

The truth is that most of the time you can’t know for sure. A lot of “appearance” that is used to make these decisions is actually based on make-up, hair and clothing style. I’m of Chinese descent, but often mistaken for Japanese or Korean people who are Japanese or Korean, and most recently, mistaken for hapa by someone from China.
事实上你大多时候是分辨不出来的，对方究竟是哪国人，人们大都是基于对方“外表”比如化妆、发型和衣服穿戴风格来分辨的。我有中国血统，但经常被他人误认为是日本或韩国人，最近有个中国人还把我认成是日本人呢。

I think this was touched on a bit, but i think the subtle differences even when we all grow up in America tends to keep Chinese, Japanese and Koreans from marrying each other. On a completely different subject, Korean writing system was made to represent the sound they make when you read them. It's one of the easiest writing system to learn as each "letter" is comprised of two or more to make one sound. ㅇ+ ㅏ = 아, making a sound like "ah"
我觉得有点牵强，但我认为即使我们都在美国长大，细微的差异往往会阻止中日韩的人相互通婚。在文字概念上，韩文书写系统就像是拼音，其文字就是记录下你发出的音。它是最容易学习的书写系统之一，因为每个“字母”由两个或两个以上的字母组成，一个音就可以代替。比如ㅇ+ㅏ=아，就可以发出“啊”的音

As someone who's traveled a bit, and seen people from all over...
While I do think there exists some general stereotypes for people (i.e. Koreans/Filipinos like to sing), they are vastly over done, and still don't fully capture just how different people are, even within the same family.
I do think some cultures bring out certain sides of people that other cultures do not. For example, I feel Mexicans are outgoing, and I feel more social around them. I think Koreans are outgoing but insular (don't let non-Koreans into their clique), Chinese people are outgoing and fairly open to others, and the Japanese a bit quieter.
But no matter how much there is a culture of something, humans base characteristics won't change. Quiet people will always be quiet people, even if they are in a very loud country. They might become louder, but it would take a lot for them to be a loud person.
There even was a study of an AI program who tried to classify where an Asian person was from. The program couldn't determine much from base looks, but found overwhelming evidence for clothing and attire. I think this alone shows just how bad humans are at stereotyping, especially when it comes to large populations.
Which I think is a bigger problem in western countries, where many people don't really get to see the full experience of being around a large enough group of Asians to really see how that plays out. This of course leads to oddly specific racial stereotyping. At least for Asian men (before the last five years), you were either the nerd, the kung-fu master, or the "small-penis" jokster (a la Ken Jeong style).
作为一个经常出国旅行的人，我去过不少地方，基本上哪的人都接触过
虽然我认为人们确有存在一些固有刻板印象(比如韩国人,菲律宾人都喜欢唱卡拉OK)，但有些刻板印象太夸张了，而且没有完全指出不同地方人的区别，即使是来自同一血统家族。
我确实认为有些文化能激发出人们的某方面的表达，不过有的却不能。例如，我觉得墨西哥人很外向，和他们在一起会令我更有亲切感。韩国人很外向，但很封闭(非韩国人是进入不了他们小圈子的)，中国人很外向，对他人相当友善，日本人则比较安静。
但无论文化有多不同，人类的基本特征都不会改变。爱静的人永远不会大声张扬，即使他们在一个非常吵闹的国家里。他们说话声可能会变得更大，但要成为一个常大声说话的人则要付出很大的努力。
对此甚至还出现一款试图对亚洲人的血统进行区分的AI分析程序。该程序无法从外貌上得到什么结果，但却从服装和着装上找到了锚点决定性证据。我认为这本身就说明了人类在刻板印象方面有多糟糕，尤其是在涉及到不同群体时。
我认为西方人在这个问题上更为突出，在西方国家里，那的人大多没有进入或体验亚洲人群体的社交环境，有些事情他们无法理解。这当然会导致奇怪的特定的种族刻板印象。至少在他们看待亚洲男生方面上，认为男生要么是书呆子，要么是功夫大师，要么就是“小弟弟”那样的搞笑丑角(就如(美籍韩裔男演员)郑肯那样)。

I definitely see how the “good looking” label on Korean people spread. my mom comes from a region in China with tons of ethnically Korean people (Chinese Koreans, speaking Korean and stuff, but have been residing within Chinese borders). My mom says they have big, round face and small eyes, monolids, which is not considered attractive in the traditional East Asian beauty standard. But also my mom says they also have this reputation of having clear and “lighter” skin. But now Kpop is everywhere and people start to appreciate the “Korean faces” — it’s delicate and young-looking. Also people seem to move on from the traditional notion of who is better looking.
我很清楚韩国人如何给人以“漂亮”的印象的。我妈是中国朝鲜族人(中国朝鲜族，会说朝鲜话，但一直住在中国境内)。我妈说他们族人的脸都是又大又圆，小眼睛，单眼皮，不太符合东亚人传统审美观。但我妈妈有说，他们有干净、肤白的好名声。但现在韩国流行音乐无处不在，人们开始欣赏“韩国脸”——精致而“嫩”的模样。此外，人们也不太纠结谁更漂亮，这种传统审美观了。
CocaineMinor
Korean as always be called good looking in Asia since K-pop hit Asia during the 2000s
But for the western world idk but it's new to them i guess lol.
自从韩流音乐在21世纪在亚洲火以来之后，韩国人就给亚洲人以好看的印象。但对西方人来说，给他们的感觉是新鲜，哈哈。
Rosie Y
@CocaineMinor yeah, my mom's stereotypes date back to the 1970s at least. I think as kpop/drama wave started, people also started to gain the new stereotype of plastic surgery and obsession with looks/appearances. I think this mixed stereotype spread across East and SE Asian much earlier than how it starts to spread in the West and the globe.
是啊，我妈的刻板印象至少从70年代就开始有了。我认为，随着韩流的兴起，人们也开始对整形手术产生了新的刻板印象，对外表相当看重。我认为这种混在一起的刻板印象在东亚和东南亚传播的时间比在西方世界传播的时间要早得多。

Funny you mention the Korean language is almost like drawing faces. I was taught that the design of the letters is based on how you hold your mouth and tongue.
有趣的是你提到些韩国字就像画人脸一样。别人教我的时候写的时候，感觉字母的设计取决于你说话时的嘴和舌头的位置。

Besides the physical features of East Asians, the cultures have a lot in common the only way that I'll be able to differentiate most of the time is the languages 日本 , 中国 , 대한민국 , 북한
除了东亚人的身体特征，他们的文化也有很多共同之处，我能分出他们的唯一方法就是通过语言文字。

Korean Baekjae dynasty moved to Japan, obviously current Japanese DNA is a mix of several roots including Korean. Even Koreans are mix of several roots including Eurasia, Mongols, etc
朝鲜Baekjae王朝迁往日本，显然现在日本人的DNA也含有韩国人的血统。甚至韩国人也是欧亚大陆、蒙古等多种血统的混血人种
Unko Power
some Korean have a 'classic' Korean face that you can spot right away, usually angular, sharp hard angles. Like an underdrawing when drawing a face portrait. A lot of Japanese women do have buck teeth, like you almost want to offer them a carrot. And Japanese do not have long legs, usually short. Japan uses too many English loanwords, they should stick more to Japanese. It's a cliche in Japan (one that seems accurate) that some of the best and most famous singers are actually Korean blood. Also Matsuda Yusaku one of Japan's top movie idols was part Korean.
有些韩国人的脸很“经典”，你一眼就能看出来他是哪的人，韩国人面部通常是棱角分明。他们的脸就像画人脸肖像时的底稿。很多日本女人都有龅牙，让你感觉恨不得塞给她们一根胡萝卜一样。日本人腿短。日本话里夹杂有大量英语外来词，他们应该多学学日语。在日本，有些最火、最著名的歌手实际上都有韩国血统，虽然有些调侃的感觉（但确实如此)。比如日本最顶级的影视偶像松田优作就是这样。
The Red Bar-Cross
All the stereotypes about Chinese in the Western world pertain to southern Chinese, mostly the Cantonese.
Northeasterners are entirely different, and more like Koreans. Northwesterners are like Russians and Central Asian: direct, blunt, and aggressive.
Southwesterners are like Thai, subdued, friendly and passive.
西方世界对中国人的所有刻板印象都与中国南方人有关，主要源于广东人。
中国东北人完全不同，他们更像韩国人。中国西北人就像俄罗斯、中亚人一样:直接、直率、好斗。
西南的人跟泰国人一样，温顺、友好、被动。

@The Red Bar-Cross....Everyone that knows China should know that China is not a homogenous country. The country has multiple ethnic groups and diverse phenotypes depending on the region they come from. Many Chinese citizens are also of Korean ethnic background especially close to the North Korean border.
凡是了解中国的人都应该知道，中国是一个多民族国家。这个国家民族众多、各民族性格表现各有不同。许多中国公民也有朝鲜族背景，尤其是靠近朝鲜边境的那些人。
Jk
because north east china is the region of koreanic, tungus, manchu people. north east china was once korean kingdom called gogureyo, balhae.
因为中国东北大多是朝鲜族、通古斯族、满族人的聚集地。中国东北曾经是朝鲜王国所在地，又叫做高句丽，渤海国。

哈哈，那是因为说这话的人无知。有意思的是，你认为很多人认为亚洲是一个大个整体国家。但你问亚洲人，他们怎么看非洲的，实际上他们跟你们看亚洲的看法一样，不过要是有人分不出对方是亚洲那里国家人，他们会抱怨的！有点讽刺，你不觉得吗

I thought I could after meeting many in college but nope, I still get it wrong when meeting new Asians. For east Asians, it's the moment they speak the English language when I can tell if they are Japanese, Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. As for Asian Americans born in America/2nd+ gen, I can only tell if I hang out with them and at some point their accent will slip up somewhere in the in their English language lol.
上大学后我接触到不少外国人，我觉得我应该能分出来，可惜不能，当我见到一个新亚洲人时，我还会是猜错他是哪国的人。对东亚人来说，只有在他们张嘴用英语讲话的那一刻，我才能分辨出他们是日本、中国、韩国还是越南人。至于出生在美国的亚裔美国人、美国二代华裔，我只能说如果我和他们一起出去玩时，偶尔会从他们说英语时的口音中猜出来对方的老家是哪里的，哈哈。

Well they ain't that different from mainland China lol
Their culture is literally the same as Chinese Han culture.

@CocaineMinor I think Koreans are completely different from Japanese and Chinese. Historically, they are a people who have maintained their independence under Chinese oppression. What the Chinese misunderstand is that they don't know how much Koreans have tried to externalize Chinese culture and protect their identity. For example, look at han-gul, they are the first countries to artificially invent and distribute their own character. It is also different from Japan, which still relies on Chinese characters
我认为韩国人与日本人和中国人一点都不一样。历史上，他们都是在古中国压迫下保持独立的民族。中国人想不通的是，他们不理解韩国人为什么为自身身份想方设法要摆脱中国文化的印记。比如韩文，他们是第一个人为创造和传播自己的字符的国家。韩国跟日本不同，日本文字书写仍然依赖中国的汉字
Eric K. Sohn
@elekow its irony because the time when Korea was in tight grasp of Chinese influence was when Han Chinese were not ruling...
讽刺的是，当韩国被中国牢牢控制的时候，汉人还没有统治…
Attis
Koreans are actually culturally quite different to nomadic mongolians and dongbei people of the northeast. There are a lot of rules and rituals to be followed, and the language itself strictly follows hierarchy-based honorifics. These are all absent in Mongolia and Mainland China. Most Koreans aren't even that fiery, but more passive (or passive-aggressive). There is a whole 锚点culture of nunchi, which better elaborates on this. A lot of the stereotypes being talked about here (about Koreans) are quite out-dated, or mis-guided.
实际上，韩国人在文化上与蒙古游牧民族和中国东北人有很大的不同。韩国人有很多烦文缛节需要遵守，语言本身严格遵循基于身份地位的敬语。但这些在蒙古和中国大陆都没有。大多数韩国人甚至没有那么暴躁，而是更被动(或被动攻击)。他们的“眼力见”文化（注：nunchi，特指韩国人看什么人说什么话做什么事的“能力”），更好地说明了这一点。这里谈论的很多(关于韩国人的)刻板印象都是老看法，或是被误导了。
sunwoo lee
I disagree with Atti ‘s opinion. His opinions confuse others. Of course, it is true that there are differences, but he makes the mistake of explaining the differences in too much detail. I want to ask him Why are more than 10% of modern Mongolians fluent in Korean language today? we dont even have a border connected. they are easy to learn the language because Mongolians share a similar mentality with Koreans.
我不同意楼上的观点。他的意见令人不解。当然，确实存在差异，但他犯了一个错误，把这种差异分析的过分细致了。我想说，为什么现在10%以上的蒙古人能流利地说韩语?而且韩蒙两国互不相邻。这说明韩语很好学，因为蒙古人和韩国人有着类似的思维方式。

Did you see the Asian Boss video about how there was a survey that many Koreans didn't like Chinese people?
The video title is probably something along the lines of interviewing Korean about Chinese people.

Double eyelids among Chinese are due to the southern orientation of Chinese compared with Koreans and Mongolians. Southern Chinese have nearly 0 Caucasoid component(actually even less than Koreans) but the occurrence of double eyelids among Southern Chinese is even higher than among Northwestern Chinese Who actually have a very small amount of Caucasoid admixture.
Southeast Asians have more double eyelids than even Southern Chinese. Genetically Chinese, even Northern Chinese, are between Northeastern Asians and Southeastern Asians.
中国人之所以有双眼皮，是因为中国人特征比韩国人、蒙古人更像南方人。中国南方人几乎没有白种人基因(实际上甚至比韩国人还少)，但中国南方人的双眼皮出现率甚至比西北人还要高，可实际上西北人身上的白种人基因更少。
东南亚人的双眼皮甚至比中国南方人的还要多。从基因方面来看，中国人，即使是中国的北方人特征，也介于东北亚人和东南亚人之间。

Southern Chinese also have single eyelid

Also no one tribe is behind the genesis of Koreans, the most recent nature article that came out explains that all three sphere of genetic and linguistic influences (i.e.,锚点 sinto-tibetan, amurian, and jomon) were and are all found in the modern-day Koreans.
最近《自然》杂志发表的文章也解释说，汉藏语系、阿尔泰语系、绳文（日语）三种语言的影响在现代韩语中都有存在。

nosuchpersonexisted
When it comes to foreign borrow words, those you called "college level" words, China borrow heavily from Japan since Japan opened up its border to western influence long before China. Back in the days, when people in China want to travel to a foreign country to learn, Japan was one of the top country to go. Sun Yat-sen spent times in Japan when he was organizing revolutions in China. One example of Japan's influence on Chinese words is that the Chinese words of "communism" is a borrowed word from Japan. In fact, in China's official name PRC, R is for republic, and modern Chinese word for republic is a world orginated in China, but Japan took it to represent the translation of "republic". Later on China borrowed this idea from Japan.
说到舶来词，也就是你们所说的“大学水平”词汇，中文词从日本大量借用，因为日本早于中国就向西方进行了开放。以前，当中国人想去国外旅游学习时，日本是首选国家之一。孙中山在中国组织革命时还曾在日本呆过一段时间。本对汉语词汇影响的一个例子是，汉语中的“共产主义”一词是从日本借来的。事实上，在中国的官方英文名称PRC中，R代表共和国，现代中国汉语中的“共和国”一词原意是“公共事务”，但日本把它当作代表“共和国”的翻译。后来，中国从日本借鉴了这个想法。

Double eyelid surgery was sold to Koreans by an American that thought Korean natural eyes looked suspicious and sold the concept to them. I am not sure if double eyelid is popular in Japan but surely in china too. I wonder how much this affects people's perception on how good a particular east Asian looks
有个美国人认为韩国人的眼睛看起来像是疑神疑鬼的，于是向韩国人推销了双眼皮手术。我不确定双眼皮是否在日本流行，但肯定在中国也流行。我想知道这在多大程度上影响了人们对某个东亚人外貌的看法

One distinguishing feature most people miss is that Koreans tend to have a lot of chin, Park Chanho is the prime example. This gives an overall appearance of a flatter face. There is obviously a lot of overlap but there are certain facial types that are typically Korean and there are other types that are certainly not Korean(ie too southern or too Caucasoid etc.) but can be Chinese or Japanese(too Ainu, too much hair, too Caucasoid etc). Most(but not all) Koreans can pass for a Chinese or a Japanese, but the reverse is not true. There are certain types among Chinese or Japanese who cannot pass for a Korean. In this sense Koreans are phenotypically more homogenous(ie Koreans tend to look the same. and this is not due to plastic surgery. Non-entertainer Korean men do not have plastic surgery that often).
One distinguishing feature of Japanese is that their women have bow legs. It is pretty serious. Koreans too are slightly more bow legged than Chinese and Chinese are more bow legged than Southeast Asians.
韩国人一个显著特征我想大家都没注意，那就是韩国人下巴一般都较长，朴昌浩就是代表。这会让你的脸整体看起来更扁平。亚洲国家的人面部特征都很明显相似的地方也很多，但有些面部类型一看就是典型的韩国人，而其他的肯定不是，大概率是中国或日本人。大多数(不是所有)韩国人都可以装作是中国或日本人，但反过来就不是这样了。在中国人或日本人中，有些人怎么看都不会认作是韩国人。从这个意义上来讲，说明韩国人在外形面貌上同质的厉害(即韩国人往往看起来一样。这并不是因为整形手术的原因。因为不是娱乐圈的韩国男生是不常做整形手术的)。
thor wtf
Koreans are taller and have fair skin compared to Chinese and Japanese who are smaller and darker, with slightly bigger heads.
与中日两国人相比，韩国人个子更高，皮肤更白。中日两国人个子小，肤色深，脑袋大。

as a foreigner who went to their countries, i’ll say
koreans are more closed into their owm clicks ( hard to make friends in korea)
china easiest to make friends with locals as they are open to talking to foreigners in public / meeting , even strangers..
now the obvious one … chinese are loud AF in china hahah mostly older ones to be fair, with the IDGAF smoking / spitting in public
japan are shy, but manners is the Best best from all asia , with taiwan being second place.
i lived in china for 3 years
lived in taiwan for 4 years
so i think that makes me someone who can speak on it from
a general perspective.
also traveled to korea/ japan few times while living in mainland china
Chinese def love money lol so much that in china they literally say “
作为一个去过这些国家的外国人，我想说几句
韩国人特别爱上网玩而且沉迷其中喜欢宅在家中（在韩国很难交朋友)
和中国人最好打交道，和本地人很好交朋友，因为即使在公共场合他们会主动和外国人交谈，即使毫不相识。
现在最明显的是，中国人有些吵，哈哈，但公平地说，都是些老年人这样，在公共场合吸烟吐痰且毫不在意
日本人很害羞，是亚洲最有礼貌的人，台湾人排其次。
