What will you fall in love with a city because of?
Because of a song? A movie?
or just because of its scenery?
believes that there must be a situation,
is because it has a poetic place name.
There is a question on Zhihu:
"What are the poetic place names or street names in China?"
selects some answers here to enjoy it with you.

Yanyunjian
A mountain village in the south of Luoyang, Henan Province, has a long history.
It is said that it was the casting site for bronze ritual vessels used for emperors to sacrifice as early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
is now an important production site for antique bronzes in China.
I think this place name is not only poetic, but also has a bit of a fairy-like and sensual flavor.
Cherry Orchard
There is a town near my hometown called Cherry Orchard,
is at the junction of Henan and Lu,
is said to have 100 acres of cherries in ancient times, and it is said that it was named after it.
But now it is a cherry tree, and there is only this poetic place name left.

King of Qin Zhu Zhi built the Qin wang mansion in Xi'an City.

The officials are here to stand tall and wait for the call.

Tanhualin
Most place names in Wuhan have a strong smell of fireworks,
I like this smell of fireworks very much,
But if you want to talk about poetic place names, there are also some.
The fresh style is "Tan Hualin" near Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine - a flash in the pan.

jingting Bridge
6 wells were dug in the Tang Dynasty when Li Mi guarded Hangzhou, and
There were pavilions on the well of the prime minister, and the bridge beside the well was called Jingting Bridge.
In addition, there are Liubu Bridges, which were built in , Southern Song .

Midou Bridge is also quite nice.

shot a look of spring water.

is transformed from the "Half Road Spring Red" of the Ten Scenic Scenic Spots of Hushu.

The peach blossoms bloomed in spring, and half of the red clouds on Hushu South Road were red, and
"Half-way spring red" was named after it.

Ningyuan
Hangyuan Battle was undoubtedly one of the far-reaching battles in the late Ming Dynasty and even the entire history of China. The term
Ningyuan also reflects the magnificent image of the Liaodong frontiers that year. It is indeed a pity that it was changed back to Xingcheng due to the rename and other reasons.

Linming
The ancient place name of Haicheng,
took it out mainly because I felt that Linming was too emotional.
can't help but think of Jieshi in the east,
to see the scene of the vast ocean.

Chunxi Road
"Chunxi" is taken from Chapter 20 of "Laozi":
"Everyone is bustling, like enjoying too much, like climbing to the Spring Platform. "
13
Gansu Jiuquan
The origin of the name is from a beautiful legend.
In the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing defeated the Huns, and Emperor Wu of Han gave him imperial wine to reward him.
The general thought that his contribution was in the entire army, but the wine was small and the people were not enough to allocate, so
So he poured wine into the spring and drank it with the soldiers, so the Jiuquan was named.
14
Qushuiting Street
There is an old cultural street in Jinan with a characteristic spring city - Qushuiting Street.
I heard this name and I was secretly called out in my heart. It is such a charming name.
Reading these words will make you feel a illusion of mouth.
There is pavilion in the old street, and the spring water is winding around, so the Qushui Pavilion is named.
Zheng Banqiao also wrote the couplet here of
"Three rafters thatched huts, two small bridges, a few weeping willows, and a bay of flowing water".
On that street,
Now, the spring city style of "every family's spring water, every household's winter willows" is still preserved.
Walking on the bluestone road of Qushui Pavilion,
footsteps will always slow down involuntarily,
for fear of disturbing the time hidden deep in the old city of Jinan.
