Cultural connotation of place names

1. Place names are widely used media for people to engage in social communication and economic activities. Everyone's daily life is inseparable from place names.

2. Place names are the inheritance of culture. Place name culture is an integral part of the advanced culture of the motherland. People say that there is heaven in the world and Suzhou and Hangzhou in the world, not only because the landscape in Hangzhou is beautiful, but also because the gardens in Suzhou are charming. There are many places with good scenery all over the country, but many places lack profound historical and cultural heritage and their charm is not as good as Suzhou. Every mountain, every river, every road and every bridge in Hangzhou has beautiful stories and legends, such as the story of wuyue Wang Qianchu, the story of the White Snake and Xu Xian in the Leifeng Pagoda and the Broken Bridge, the story of the hidden Feilaifeng, the story of Yue Fei's resistance to gold in the Yue Temple, etc., which precipitated history and culture, cultivated people's sentiment and entrusted them with beautiful yearning. Therefore, inheriting and carrying forward the culture of place names has far-reaching historical significance and important practical role in carrying forward Chinese civilization, patriotism, inheriting advanced culture, inspiring national spirit and building Zhoushan into a famous city of marine culture.

3. Strengthening the work of geographical names is the need to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity and maintain social stability. In the process of dealing with international affairs, there is an agreement that "names are the most important". So in some specific cases, place names often reflect the territorial sovereignty of a country. In the process of dealing with territorial disputes, in order to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity, all countries take their own names of border geographical entities as strong evidence of sovereignty. In international relations, there are countless political and diplomatic problems caused by geographical names. For example, the dispute between Japan and South Korea over "Bamboo Island" and "Dokdo" and the dispute between China and Japan over "Diaoyu Island", which we call Diaoyu Island, the Japanese decided to set up a famous brand called "Senkaku Islands".

4. Strengthen the work of geographical names and promote the coordinated development of economy and society. Realizing rapid, efficient, sustained and healthy economic development is the material basis for building a harmonious society. Geographical name information is the basic information of society. The development of economy and society and the effective management of society by the government need to provide complete, accurate, convenient and standardized geographical name information services. The demand for place name information in economic construction is increasing, and the demand for rapid acquisition and transmission of place name information is also increasing. Standardizing place name information, innovating service methods and improving application level can not only provide convenient and timely standardized services for economic and social development, but also create good conditions for the public to participate in political, economic and cultural activities, and also create a harmonious social environment for increasingly frequent international and domestic exchanges.
