The term "Celestial" was historically used by Westerners to refer to Chinese people, deriving from the phrase "Celestial Empire," which described China as a heavenly realm. This label reflects the perception of China as a culturally and politically superior civilization. Additionally, during the 19th century, especially in the context of migration and labor, Chinese immigrants were often referred to as "Celestials" in regions like the United States. The term has since fallen out of favor and can carry outdated or pejorative connotations.
