Famous place names

Taking land names as names is a common naming method. The so-called birthplace (or ancestral home) naming method refers to the method of naming according to a person's birthplace.

This is another important way to give people a name, and it is also a common naming method. This naming method is simple and meaningful, and the place name used is often the place of birth. The name given by this naming method is a name composed of the abbreviation, pronoun, characteristics and words of the place of birth.

For example, a person born in Liaoning is called Zhu Ning; For example, a person born in Beijing is called Jingsheng, and some are called feast, because Beijing is also called Yanjing. Of course, if a person is not born in this place, but likes this place, or has any fate with this place, he can also use the name of this place as his own name.

Named after the ground and direction, it has existed since ancient times. In ancient Shennong there lived a martyr, also called a martyr's family. The Yellow Emperor lives in Xuanyuan Mountain, also called Xuanyuan Mountain. For Fuxi, who lives in the East and in the West, and later generations are called Tai Hao and Shao Hao, the "ceremony" is interpreted as: broad vitality, called Haotian, born in the East, longer than the East, with great vitality; When the west converges, its vitality will be small. Therefore, the eastern emperor is called Tai Hao and the western emperor is called Shao Hao. Nowadays, people's names and surnames are mostly named after their place of birth or native place, while most of the ancients belong to local names or official names, that is, surnames plus place names, and place names can only be their ancestral home or place of birth, while the latter refers to the place names that someone ruled when he was an official. Usually, this person has been an official for a long time, and his political achievements have been remarkable or retired to the left, which has a significant impact on his life. Generally speaking, the names of land and official land are not official names, but names of others, students or descendants, and there are also self-proclaimed phenomena. For example, Zhang Qujiang refers to Zhang Jiuling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, because he was born in Qujiang, Shaozhou (now Shaoguan, Guangdong); Others, such as Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, called Liu Hedong (a native of Hedong in Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Yongji in Shanxi today); Wang Anshi, a politician and writer who promoted political reform and innovation in the Northern Song Dynasty, was called Wang Linchuan (Linchuan, Jiangxi); Zhang Juzheng, a politician in the Ming Dynasty, was named Zhang Jiangling (a native of Jiangling, Hubei); Tang Xianzu, a dramatist in Ming Dynasty, was named Tang Linchuan (Linchuan, Jiangxi); Kang Youwei, a representative of modern reformists, was named Kang Nanhai (a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, now Guangzhou). Another example is that at the end of the Han Dynasty, Kong Rong was named Kong Beihai because he had served as the North Sea Phase; Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was originally named Peng, hence the name Tao Pengze. There are Xie Xuancheng (poet Xie Tiao in the Northern and Southern Dynasties), Wei Suzhou (poet Wei in the Middle Tang Dynasty), Cenjiazhou (frontier poet in the Tang Dynasty) and so on. On the one hand, the ancients showed deep feelings for their native land, on the other hand, they also reflected the traditional ethical concept of "parents are here, not traveling far". Nowadays, people's naming of place names mainly shows their feelings for their homeland and reflects the influence of the environment and life.

For example, Zhang Qujiang refers to Zhang Jiuling, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, because he was born in Qujiang, Shaozhou (now Shaoguan, Guangdong); Others, such as Liu Zongyuan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, called Liu Hedong (a native of Hedong in Shanxi in the Tang Dynasty, that is, Yongji in Shanxi today); Wang Anshi, a politician and writer who promoted political reform and innovation in the Northern Song Dynasty, was called Wang Linchuan (Linchuan, Jiangxi); Zhang Juzheng, a politician in the Ming Dynasty, was named Zhang Jiangling (a native of Jiangling, Hubei); Tang Xianzu, a dramatist in Ming Dynasty, was named Tang Linchuan (Linchuan, Jiangxi); Kang Youwei, a representative of modern reformists, was named Kang Nanhai (a native of Nanhai, Guangdong, now Guangzhou).

The disadvantage of this naming method is that it is too monotonous, resulting in a large number of duplicate names. For example, those born in Beijing are often named "Jingsheng". * * *, Wang Jingsheng ... "Jingsheng" is flying all over the sky. If we can keep the word "Beijing" on the basis of changing some patterns, it will be lively and there will not be too many names. For example, Zhao, and.

There are too many people in the area under the jurisdiction of the earth's name, and it is easy to cause duplicate names if it is not done well. On the other hand, if we can use the names of villages, communities, small streets, alleys, streams, hills and bridges where we were born, the rate of duplicate names can be greatly reduced. Please look at the following example:
