From NPR:
The Chinese term for this kind of fraud is “pengci” — literally translated as “touch porcelain.” During the Qing Dynasty, a person — usually from a formerly wealthy family — would dress as a nobleman, position himself in a crowded public place holding expensive-looking china (usually fake) and let others “hit” him, causing him to drop the china. He’d then demand compensation.
