Ever since Mongolians won their Independence from China, that's when there were Chinese Noble Savages, or Chinese Barbarians. Or otherwise described as a coarse-face. Not that we are who we look, but we are more civilized than savages themselves.

Eugenia:

in general, any culture that attempts to conquer your own gets referred to as "savages".

The Mongols are a very interesting case of pastoralists conquering an agrarian culture -- without the agrarian culture having basically collapsed first. I don't know enough about Asian history to understand why that might have been.
