2. Which place names contain cultural knowledge?

Too many! * * * (Holy Land-Tibetan) Handan (Handan Toddler) Speaking of the place names in China, from apes to people, from barbarism to civilization, it has created the humanity of naming things by words.

Let's take a look: Nothing in the world seems to be known by human beings without a name. Even the moon that was impossible to set foot on in ancient times was created into the "Guanghan Palace" by imaginative China people. Humans mark many geographical entities as place names to identify symbols in different regions. It is a tool for people to engage in social activities and exchanges, and it is also a cultural treasure of social development and human progress.

However, China has a large number of ancient place names and places with rich cultural connotations. They are distributed in mountains, streams, lakes, scenic spots, cultural relics, memorial sites, ancient sites, ancient buildings and streets. It is a geographical symbol and vivid portrayal of China's long history, splendid culture and many celebrities.

Although some ancient relics were lost in the vicissitudes of history, only names were left, but later generations can use these names to evoke historical memories and find their traces. This is an ancient geographical coordinate.

The existence of a large number of ancient place names dissects the cultural features of China in different time and space. It is a long scroll showing the history of China and a picture of people's life in time and space, which should be protected as a valuable cultural heritage of our country. "Geographical names are national cultural heritage", which is the orientation of the material, social and cultural significance of geographical names in the Fifth United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names.

China has a vast territory, a long history and many ethnic groups. It is not only the country with the largest number of place names in the world, but also its profound cultural heritage is not comparable to that of ordinary countries. It is a "rich mine" of geographical names and cultural resources. The basic structure of culture can be divided into four levels: first, material culture, including production and living tools and related technologies processed and manufactured by human beings; Second, spiritual culture, including people's thoughts, beliefs, values and mentality; The third is behavior culture, which refers to the conventional writing mode of people who are bored in social communication; The fourth is institutional culture, which is manifested in social norms established by people in social practice.

The origin and classification of place names are generally discussed from these four aspects. There are many classifications and origins of place names, with different meanings.

Only some common types can be listed here. Moreover, the classification boundaries of some place names are vague, which can be said to be divided by surnames or landforms, so this paper will not delve into their categories.

First, named after the geomorphological features or features. Such as Heilongjiang, Dahenggou, Qingyatou, Shiyazhi, Yaozimen, Zhongchakou, Lingdi, Potou, Sha 'ao, Hongtupo, Dianchi, Hongyadi, Narrow Gate, Carriage, Magnetic Basin Water, Kuanping, Baishi, Heishiyao, Huanglongtou and Cenfeng.

The typical "Silong Village" is named Huanglongtou (Longwangtou), Huanglong 'ao, Longchaowan and Qinglongpo, which is based on the terrain where a mountain and village like a dragon runs north and south. There are also Elephant Trunk Mountain in Guilin and so on.

There is also a format, which is a combination of surnames and place names, and is a comprehensive part of the first and second formats. In densely populated places with different landforms, such names are too numerous to mention.

For example, the first * is the surname, and the second * is the landform, such as ditch, beam, valley, mausoleum, mound, mound, pier, township, pavilion, dock, wall, foundation, garrison, fort, town, shop, city and field. Such as Kangjiagou, Qijiazhuang, Majialian, Xiaojiahui, Liangjiazhai, Caijiaping, Guocun, Hecun, Lujiacun, Niujiacun, Fujianao, Zhengjiagou, Liujiapo, Zhaojiacha, Sujialing, Yuanjialiang and Wang.

Among them, the name "Yuegezhuang" evolved due to the change of pronunciation. Yuegezhuang is actually just Yue Jiazhuang, which is due to the development and change of Chinese pronunciation.

During the pre-Qin period, many place names named after "Qiu", "Ling" and "Fu" appeared in the North China Plain, which reflected the geographical environment at that time-undulating terrain. In order to avoid floods, people chose higher places to live. The disappearance of "autumn" indicates that they will be silted up by the flood of rivers such as the Yellow River in the future. Place names in Han Dynasty were named after "Xiang", "Ting" and "Ji", which showed the local administrative system at that time. Six Dynasties; The appearance of characters used in place names such as dock, wall, fort, garrison, fort, etc. should be related to the great land ownership of the Hao nationality at that time and the need to defend against social unrest; After the middle Tang Dynasty, the towns, markets and markets in the mainland reflected the rise of small commercial cities, while the markets and service industries represented the development of government-run handicrafts. Coastal place names such as "Buer", "Buye" and "Buqi" often have the word "No", which can be thought to be caused by the pronunciation of this ancient coastal nation in Northeast China. These place names condense ethnic and linguistic historical materials, which is of great help to understand the migration of ancient tribes.

Some are in the form of surname+landform+son, such as Niuzhaizi and Haoyaozi. There are also place names in the format of Eight Kings Tomb and Princess Tomb.

There are many kinds of place names related to landforms and surnames, and the most common ones are not listed here. Handan City, Hebei Province is a national historical and cultural city.

Its name first appeared in the ancient version of bamboo annals. The origin of the place names of Handan is generally based on the annotation of wei ren Zhang Yan in the Three Kingdoms period in the Geography of Han Dynasty: "Handan Mountain, under the eastern city, is single and exhausted, and the city walls follow the city, so a cloud is added."

It means that the place name of Handan originated from Handan Mountain. Below the east of Handan, there is a mountain called Hanshan, which is the end of the mountain range. Hanshan stops here, hence the name Handan. Because the city wall comes from the city, adding a city (Lu) makes Handan. As a place name, Handan remains unchanged for three thousand years, which is a special case of China's place name culture.

Many place names in China have the word "continent" or "state", so it is necessary to explain here. On the basis of creating the word "Chuan", the ancients created the word "Zhou" to represent the island in "Chuan".

The original meaning of "state" is an island (or sandbar) in the river and land in the water. China's earliest poem "The Book of Songs Nan Zhou Guanju" contains the phrase "Guan Guanju's dove is in Hezhou".

Shuowen Jiezi: "Zhou, you can live in the water of Yuezhou. Go around.

From Chongchuan. Yesterday.

3. Seek enough geographical knowledge.

Japan, a long and narrow island country, is called "the country of volcanic earthquakes". Its symbol is Mount Fuji, which is also called "Holy Mountain" by the Japanese. The throat of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean-Malacca Strait: full length 1080 km; There is a Tambora volcano in the northern part of Sumbawa Island east of Java Island in Indonesia. When 18 15 broke out, the energy released was 80 million times that of the American atomic bomb against Japan, which was the most violent volcanic eruption known to mankind. Angkor Wat, a world cultural heritage, is the pride of the Cambodian people, and is as famous as the Taj Mahal. Museum of language and race; Religious kaleidoscope-India; The rain pole of the world-begging for help; India's "Silicon Valley"-Bangalore; "Little India" Mumbai; Hindu holy city-varanasi; The symbol of eternal love-Taj Mahal; Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world; The disappearing lake-Aral Sea; The country of platinum-Uzbekistan; The lowest land point in the world-the Dead Sea; Persian Gulf, the world's oil treasure house; Holy land-Mecca; Holy city Jerusalem! People who have attended junior high school may know that the earth has a history of 4.6 billion years, and many people may also understand the basic process and principle of stratum formation.

In addition, in recent years, people are familiar with the terms "Cambrian", "Jurassic", "Cretaceous" and "Quaternary", but how these terms came from is probably just a vague impression for many people. We all know that the age of the earth is divided into some units according to the age of strata, which can facilitate us to express the evolution of the earth and life. People are used to dividing the whole 4.6 billion years into two big units according to biological conditions. Those times when creatures are invisible or difficult to see are called Phanerozoic, while those times when a certain amount of creatures can be seen are called Phanerozoic.

The upper limit of Phanerozoic is the origin of the earth, but its lower limit is not an absolutely accurate number. Generally speaking, it can be pushed back to 600 million years ago, and some of it can be pushed back to 570 million years ago. It has been called Phanerozoic since 600 million or 570 million years ago.

Zhou Xia is divided into several generations. Generally speaking, there are five generations: Archean, Proterozoic, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic.

Archean generally refers to the period of formation and chemical evolution of the earth, which can be 4.6 billion years ago to 3.8 billion years ago or 3.4 billion years ago. The reason why this figure has a difference of hundreds of millions of years is that there are still many uncertainties in the oldest life or traces of life that we can grasp at present. Proterozoic followed Archean, and its lower limit was generally set before the explosion of Precambrian life, which is currently between 570 million and 600 million years ago.

Archaean and Proterozoic were named 1863 by American Luo Gang, which means that the biological world is too old and the biological world is sub-old. The period from CAMBRIAN to 230 million years ago was Paleozoic. The name was formulated by an Englishman, Sedvik, based on Luo Gang's ancient biological meaning. It happened on 1838.

From 230 million years ago to 65 million years ago, it was Mesozoic, and after 65 million years, it was Cenozoic. These two generations were named by Philip, an Englishman, in 184 1, which means that the biological world is moderately old and close to modern times.

(see attached table) The following units are regarded as disciplines. Let's start with the oldest.

The oldest era is called the Sinian, which was named by an American named grip in China in 1922. At that time, grip was active in Zhejiang and Anhui. According to the ancient Indians, he named China the place of sunrise. It started at 18 or1900 million years ago and ended at 570 million years ago.

Life in this period was mainly bacteria and cyanobacteria, and eukaryotes and invertebrates began to appear in the later period. During the period of 1936, Cedwick conducted research in Wales, western England. In the era of Roman rule, the North Wales Mountain was once called Cambrian Mountain, so Sedvik called this period Cambrian.

Thirty-three years later, another British geologist, Lapzi, discovered a stratum in the same area. This stratum is different from Silurian discovered before Cambrian. It is between the above two floors and obviously belongs to a different representative period, so he called this period Ordovician according to a famous nation who lived here in ancient times. The name of Silurian came into being before Cambrian and Ordovician, about 1835. Mo Sun Qi also studied in the west of England, and the meaning of his name comes from the name of another ancient Welsh native.

1839, Mohs and Sedvik named a group of marine rock formations in Devon, which was translated into "clay basin" in Chinese. The name Carboniferous may have appeared at the earliest. 1822, while studying British geology, Cornebil and Philip discovered a set of stable coal-bearing strata, which was formed in a very spectacular coal-making period, so they were named after coal.

The name Permian was translated from images by scientists in China. Originally named in 184 1, Mozambique named it Permian according to the local Perm state (Ufa Plateau in Ural Mountains). Later, it was discovered in Germany that the strata in this period were obviously dolomitic limestone above and red rock below, which was the basis for China's later translation into Permian.

These are the six periods of Paleozoic. Mesozoic is divided into three periods.

The first is Triassic, named after Albert in southwest Germany. There are three completely different strata here, hence the name. This happened on 1834. There is a Jura Mountain on the border between Germany and Switzerland. Blainville discovered that there are very obvious stratigraphic characteristics around 1829, so it was named after the mountain. If Smith, an Englishman, first named it at 1820, it would definitely not be the Jurassic, because the ammonites he studied in Britain at that time happened at this time.

Two years later, in 1822, de Harrow discovered that white sediments containing a lot of calcium were exposed on the cliffs on both sides of the English Channel, which was the chalk soil used to make chalk at that time, so it was named Cretaceous. It should be pointed out that the strata in this period were not all white in most parts of the world, for example, in China, they were mostly purple-red strata.

Lyle once called Paleozoic Eogene, Mesozoic Eogene and Cenozoic Eogene. 1829, when studying the geology of some French areas, De Noalte Ye divided them into Quaternary according to Weilner's stratification scheme, thus giving birth to new life.

4. Poems about place names with a little common sense are also acceptable.

I remember something. Do you think you can help an old friend quit the Yellow Crane Tower in the West? Fireworks set off in Yangzhou in March-Yangzhou is better than the West Lake, and light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate-the warm winds of the West Lake and Hangzhou make tourists intoxicated, and they regard Liangzhou as Bianzhou-once they get to the top of the peeping, they will soon see that Liangzhou and other mountains are short and short under the sky. -Taishan Qiangdi, why do they complain about willow trees?

6. Geographical knowledge

Geography is a subject that studies all kinds of natural phenomena and human phenomena in the geographical environment of the earth's surface and their relationships.

The word "geography" first appeared in China's Book of Changes. In English, the word geography comes from the Greek words H234G234 (meaning "the earth") and graphein (meaning "writing").

The earliest geography books in ancient China include Yu Gong and Shan Hai Jing. Ancient geography mainly explores measurement methods related to the shape and size of the earth, or describes known regions and countries.

Research object geography studies the geographical environment related to human beings on the earth's surface. * Earth's surface: geographical crust-landscape crust-Earth's surface-atmosphere-lithosphere-hydrosphere-biosphere-land-ocean mountains-continental shelf-climate-vegetation Human life: rural-market town-city-nation-state-world administrative region-capital-continent-region-state-province-flag-county-city-town.

In western Europe, geography is divided into two parts: general geography (that is, departmental geography) and thematic geography (that is, regional geography). General geography is divided into physical geography and human geography, and the two branches are divided into secondary branches. The former Soviet Union divided geography into two branches: physical geography and economic geography, and then it was divided into two branches.

Western scholars divide geography into two parts: physical geography and human geography, or into three parts: physical geography, economic geography and human geography, and then into two branches. Physical Geography Physical geography is a kind of system of geography, which uses biology to study the global animals and plants, and uses mathematics and physics to study the movement of the earth itself and its relationship with other stars in the solar system. It is a subject that studies the position and spatial changes of the earth.

* O Integrated Physical Geography O Paleogeography * Sectional geomorphology, climatology, hydrogeology, soil geography, biogeography, plant geography, animal geography, medical geography, glaciology, geocryology, volcanology, seismology and human geography, paying more attention to the components of social sciences in geography, examining the behavior pattern of the whole earth from a non-physical level, and exploring the geography of various human phenomena and activities based on the theory of man-land relationship. It can be divided into the following branches: * socio-cultural geography o ethnic geography o population geography o settlement geography o social geography o cultural geography o religious geography * economic geography o agricultural geography o traffic geography o tourism geography * political geography o military geography * other branches of urban geography * Historical geography-regional geography-cartography-toponymy-local chronicles-theoretical geography-applied geography-quantitative method of geography-landscape ecology-geographic information system, in which cartography-quantitative method of geography-quantitative geography-geographic information system-geographic observation method can be collectively called geographical technology methodology.

Geography is a basic subject to study various natural conditions and social and economic development on the earth's surface. Natural science. Geography can be divided into physical geography, human geography, geo-geography and cosmic geography.

Including topography, climate, distribution of animals and plants, local conditions and customs. 1. Land, mountains and other environmental conditions.

This refers to the general situation of natural environment, climate, products, transportation, residential areas and other social and economic factors in the world or a region. 2. refers to the study of geography.

3. region; Organization. 4. Address.

5. feng shui. How to learn geography well The geographical environment is vast, the geographical things are diverse and the geographical relationship is complex.

When studying geography, we should pay special attention to the learning methods. Only by mastering the learning methods can we turn the difficult into the easy and learn firmly and flexibly. 1. Learning to use textbooks is not only a tool to master knowledge and skills, but also the basis to cultivate self-study ability.

The table of contents indicates the main points of this book and the relationship between them, so you should read it often to understand the content of this book. Read the text carefully, often think deeply, grasp the main points, write down the questions, pay special attention to the illustrations and tables, and understand the problems illustrated by the charts.

2. Learn to use maps. Map is the carrier of geographic information, which can make the vast geographical environment invisible to our naked eyes clear at a glance. Maps are also tools for learning geography. By analyzing the map, we can understand the geographical characteristics, principles and causes, and find ways to use and transform it. To learn to read and use all kinds of maps, we must first remember the most basic maps.

For world geography, the first thing to remember is the distribution of seven continents and four oceans. 3. Paying attention to geographical observation means observing carefully while thinking.

Take a look at the local geographical environment and how people move around there. Get geographical information through newspapers, TV programs and pictures, and exercise our intelligence.

4. Being good at geographical imagination observation can only get local intuition, and maps can only provide location intuition. Imagination can connect the two, so that you can get a comprehensive view of the geographical environment and then show you the future of geography. 5. Be good at thinking and often ask yourself questions. The general idea of geographical problems is: ① What to learn? Such as the Yellow River and its hydrological characteristics.

② Where is it? For example, the provinces and basins where the Yellow River flows. ③ Why? For example, how is the water feature of the Yellow River formed?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of 4? For example, how to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages provided by the Yellow River to northern China. ⑤ How to coordinate the relationship between good people? For example, how to coordinate the relationship between human beings and the Yellow River, and how to make rational use and transformation.
