Everyone knows that my country's land area is about 9.6 million square kilometers, and there are 34 provincial administrative regions (including 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities directly under the central government, and 2 special administrative regions ). So do you know how the names of each province and city come from? I will introduce it slowly below.
1. Four municipalities directly under the central government
1. Beijing (Beijing)
The first well-documented name in Beijing is "Ji", which was the capital of Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Liao and Jin dynasties regarded Beijing as the capital and called it Yanjing. After the Jin Dynasty destroyed Liao, it moved its capital here and was called Zhongdu. It was renamed Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. The general Xu Da in the early Ming Dynasty changed his name to "Beiping", and later the Ming Dynasty's Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital here from Nanjing and was also renamed "Beijing". The name has been used to this day (it was once renamed "Beiping" during the Republic of China). It was established as a municipality in 1949. Take the word "Jing" in the full name as the abbreviation.
2. Tianjin (Tianjin) Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Tianjin was called Zhigu. The market was formed in the Jin Dynasty and called "Zhiguzhai". The establishment of Jinhai Town in the Yuan Dynasty was the beginning of the construction of Tianjin.

Take the word "Jin" in the full name as the abbreviation.
3, Shanghai (Shanghai) The name of Shanghai began in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Shanghai had become an emerging trading port in my country. At that time, there were eighteen major Pus in Shanghai, one of which was called Shanghai Pu, and it had a Shanghai Town on its west bank. In 1292, Shanghai changed its town into a county. This is the origin of the name Shanghai. In 1949, Shanghai was established as a municipality directly under the central government. In ancient times, fishermen in Shanghai invented a bamboo-weaving fishing tool "Hu", which was not yet known as Shanghai at that time. Therefore, this area was called "Hudu", so Shanghai was abbreviated as "Hu". During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was part of the fief of Huang Xie of Chu Chunshenjun, so Shanghai was also called "Shen"
4, Chongqing (Yu)
Chongqing was called "Ba". It was called Jiangzhou during the Qin Dynasty. It was called Yuzhou in the Sui Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty called Gongzhou . The name of Chongqing began in 1190. Because Zhao Dun, the Guangzong of the Southern Song Dynasty, first conferred the title of King Gong and then ascended the throne, Gongzhou was promoted to Chongqing Prefecture, with the meaning of "double joy". In 1997, Chongqing was established as a municipality directly under the central government. During the Sui Dynasty, the Jialing River was called Yushui. Chongqing was located on the banks of the Jialing River and established Yuzhou, so Chongqing was called "Yu".

The Ming and Qing Dynasties formed the name of inner and outer Mongolia. After the late Qing Dynasty, it generally refers to the south of the desert, north of the Great Wall, starting from the east of , and ending at Tausierut, so the league flag is Inner Mongolia. Take the three words "Inner Mongolia" in the full name as the abbreviation. 2. Uygur Autonomous Region (New) The jurisdiction was called the Western Regions in ancient times.

Because it is in western China, it is called Tibet. The Tibet Autonomous Region was established in 1965. Take the word "因" in the full name as the abbreviation. Another theory believes that the abbreviation originated from it, so it is called "Wu Sizang". 4. Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (Ning) is named after Xixia Anling. At the beginning of the 5th century AD, the Huns noble Helian Bobo thought he was a descendant of the Xia Hou family, so he named the established separatist regime "Xia".

Another theory believes that during the Qin Dynasty, Guangxi, Guilin, Xiangjun, and and Nanhai counties were established. In history, 2/3 of Guangxi belonged to Guilin, so it was called Gui."
