Shaanxi and Shanxi are bounded by Yellow River . Both provinces have a long history, profound culture and numerous foods. There is Xi'an City in Shaanxi, Pingyao Ancient City in Shanxi, Sima Qian Temple in Shaanxi, Guandi Temple in Shanxi, Huashan, Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, biangbiang noodles in Shanxi, knife-cut noodles in Shanxi, and coal mines in Shaanxi. The pronunciation of Shaanxi and Shanxi in many places is the same, because the pinyin is "shanxi", so it is difficult to distinguish.
There are many provinces in China whose names are similar, including Henan and Hebei, Guangdong and Guangxi, Hunan and Hubei, but the pinyin is different. So if you encounter spelling, how do you distinguish between Shaanxi and Shanxi? In order to make everyone distinguish, Shaanxi adds an additional "a" spelling "Shaanxi", while Shanxi's spelling remains "shanxi". If you don’t pay attention to it, it is easy to miswrite the spelling of Shaanxi.
Because of this spelling, there are many misunderstandings. On some logos, Shaanxi spelling "Shaanxi", and many people even wrote the friendly reminder incorrectly. So why do you need more "a" in Shaanxi? Instead of more letters? In fact, there are many statements. According to the Mandarin Roman plan, the final vowel "Shaan" "an" should be written as "aan" and the final vowel "an" of "shan" "an" is still written as "an".
