羅省中華會館時間軸 TIMELINE

Anti-Chinese sentiments begin to rise due to a bloody murder of a
Caucasian in Chinatown. This incident provokes 500 rioters, who
massacre and lynch Chinese immigrants. 19 Chinese people are
killed.

1872 + 加州引用殖民地時代（1661 年）法令禁止異族通婚，1906 年此令包
括華人在內，直到 1948 年才廢止。
The 1661 statute in California prohibiting interracial marriages,
including the Chinese race, is overturned by the State Supreme
Court in 1948.

1875 + 加州人士指控不道德的婦女(妓女)泛濫各大小市鎮，此外還有被迫的
廉價勞工(奴工)等問題。聯邦政府通過「貝芝法例」（Page Law），
禁止敗壞風氣的婦女、奴工和有犯罪前科的人進入美國；這是美國第
一個限制和禁止移民入境的法案。雖然，問題來自包括中國的亞洲任
何一個國家，但華人卻被特別針對；華人婦女必須提供良家婦女証明
才准許入境；否則當作妓女處理，不准入境。
Congress passes the “Page Law,” prohibiting prostitution and
requiring that Chinese women must show proof of identity from a
respectable family before they can enter the United States.
+ 羅省合勝堂成立。
The Hop Sing Tong Association is established.

1877 + 白人發出排華口號︰「華人滾蛋！」（Chinese Must Go！）力主排斥
華人；加州政府設立新法，不准恪守「落葉歸根」的華人寄運遺體返
鄉安葬。
Caucasians begin a slogan, “Chinese Must Go!”, advocating
strongly against the Chinese. As a result, California passes a law
prohibiting Chinese people from transporting the remains of their
deceased family members back to China.

1879 + 加州政府通過（修訂）加州憲法，其中明文詆毀華人，稱華人為「不
受歡迎人物」，並支持加州各地市鎮排斥華人。
The Second Amendment of the California Constitution is said to
have slandered Chinese people as “unwelcomed people,” support-
ing the nation to discriminate against Chinese people.

1881 + 英端工商會之前身「瑞端工商會」成立。
The DuanOn Merchants Association is established.
