Besides being called "Kyushu", what other names do China have?

Chixian Shenzhou: The name of Chixian Shenzhou was first found in Historical Records, Mencius and Biography of Xun Qing, which mentioned that there was a man named Yan Yan in the State of Qi during the Warring States Period. He said: "China was named Chixian Shenzhou." Later, people called China "Chixian Shenzhou". However, it is used more separately, either Chixian or Shenzhou.

Flower: the same as the ancient "flower", it is called beautiful and brilliant. One explanation for China is that people in the ancient Central Plains thought they lived in a well-dressed and gorgeous civilized area, so they called themselves China. Zuo Zhuan Shu: "China ... has the beauty of serving the seal, which is called China." Another way of saying it is: "flower" means red. Zhou people like red and think it is a symbol of good luck, so they call themselves flowers. Perhaps, the ancients advocated fire, and fire had a red brilliance, so it was called Hua. There is also a saying that China came from China, which was called Huaxia Province in ancient times. As the abbreviation of China, Hua has a long history.

Zhu Hua: Because people in the Zhou Dynasty called themselves China, many vassal states in the Central Plains that were enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty were called Zhu Hua. Du Yu in the Jin Dynasty commented on Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period: "Zhu Hua, China also."

China: Before the Qin Dynasty, Chinese people called their motherland China. After the Qin Dynasty, it gradually developed into a multi-ethnic country, so it was called the "Chinese nation". "Zhong" means China, and "Hua" is the abbreviation of the Chinese nation. In the Tang Dynasty, Han's poem: "China's land goes to the border town, and foreign clouds come from the island" has used "China" and "foreign" interchangeably. The Chinese nation is the floorboard of all ethnic groups in China.

Xia: It means "big" in ancient times. The first slave country in the history of China was the Xia Dynasty founded by Dayu. Historical Records Xia Benji: "Yu named Xia as the country." Later, people often called China "Summer".

Huaxia: During the Shang Dynasty, because the politics and political culture of enriching the people were better than before, the Huaxia people living in the Central Plains and some ethnic minorities in the north and south surrendered to the merchants. Huaxia was the main ethnic group at that time, and later people took Huaxia as the name of China.

Zhu Xia: This term is similar to "Zhu Hua". At first it refers to the vassal state of the Chinese nation, and later it is used to address China.

Xia Han: It's all about China. The book of the Han Dynasty in Midsummer: "Looking at Xia's virtue, looking at four generations and resisting the border."

From then on, midsummer refers to China. Han Shu Letter to Xia: "What did he do with the letter to Xia's great man?" Zhang Jingyang VII of Jin Dynasty: Wang You has four pieces, to Xia Mining. Fang Xia's Shangshu said, "I was born with a destiny to comfort Fang Xia." Note: "To comfort Suiyuan in midsummer." Midsummer refers to China.

Yucheng Yuji Yudian: According to legend, ancient floods were terrible, and Dayu managed water to benefit the world. It is said that after Yu's flood control, Kyushu was demarcated according to the conditions of mountains and rivers, so later generations called China Yucheng, Yuji (Yu's flood control footprint spread all over the country) and Yudian ("Dian" here means governance).

Kyushu: It originated from the legend that Dayu ruled Kyushu by controlling water. Kyushu, according to legend, after the flood control, China was divided into Kyushu: Ji, Yan, Qing, Jing, Yang, Liang, Yong, Xu and Yu.

The Records of Huainanzi also recorded that there were Kyushu in ancient China: Shenzhou, Zizhou, Rongzhou, Yanzhou, Jizhou, Taizhou, Jeju, Bozhou and Yangzhou. Later, Kyushu generally referred to China. Also from Kyushu are Kyushu, Jiuyou, Jiutu, Jiuqu and kuya. In the Song Dynasty, a map of China was drawn. There is a phrase in Tang poetry, "The moon bends in Kyushu".

Jiu Mu: Xunzi: "This is the reason why Wang Yin received Jiu Mu." According to "Four Records of Han Zheng", "Yumu Kyushu is made of gold like Jiuding."

Nine Districts: Shi Heng in the Jin and Wei Dynasties "The Crown Prince's Banquet Xuanpu Xuande Hall has a purpose": "Nine Districts are salty and Yan songs are sung."

Nine Realms: Hanshu: "Sacrifice:' * * * Gong Shi Bo Nine Realms'." According to the "Nine Domains Map" and "Nine Domains Records" in the Song Dynasty, geographical maps and records of all parts of the country were recorded.

Bazhou: Biography of Han Xu Empress: "Extremely vulgar and righteous, Bazhou Huaide."

Nine tours: Kyushu: Notes on the Mirror: "The wealth of the people's emperors' mountains and rivers is Kyushu, which is called nine tours."

Nine pictures: refers to Kyushu. "Mandarin": "* * * Gong's family has nine uncles, and his son said,' The back soil can level nine soils.' "

Kuya: It means Kyushu. The "Nine Wild Areas in Xinjiang" in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty refers to China.

In the sea: The word "Four Seas" Note: The ancients thought that China was surrounded by the sea, so they called China the sea and foreign countries overseas. "The Warring States Policy Qin Ce I": "Today, I want to be in harmony with the world, and I want to eulogize and control the country." Historical Records Biography of Emperor Gaozu: "Jia Weihai Xi returned to his hometown." □ Dai
