What city is Shanghai called?

question 1: what city is Shanghai called? Shanghai has a long history and is one of the second batch of 38 famous historical and cultural cities promulgated by the State Council in 1986. The western part of Shanghai became land 6, years ago. Urban land formation was not fully formed until the first half of the 1th century.

In 223 BC, Kuaiji County was established after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Chu, and Suzhou was its seat. Huiji County governs Miu County, Youquan County and Haiyan County. Miao county includes Jiading and Shanghai counties, Qingpu and Songjiang counties and some urban areas. There is also a Miao town named after Miao in Jiading County today. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he built a wide chidao from Xianyang to Jiangsu and Shanghai via Hubei and Hunan. According to historical records, Chidao is 5 steps wide, and one tree is planted every 3 feet. Chidao passes through the northwest of Songjiang today, "passing through Qingpu Gutang Bridge and connecting Wucheng in the west". In 21 BC, Qin Shihuang led a group of military commanders, such as Prime Minister Reese and his youngest son Hu Hai, to cruise south. They passed through the Hengshan, Xiaokunshan and Sancha areas in the west of Songjiang and the south of Qingpu, and saw that the local products were rich and people were bustling, and people were boating and trading on the water. This shows that Shanghai had not yet formed a city.

in the Han dynasty in 27 BC, Miao county was ruled as Lou county. Haiyan County, located in Jinshan County today, was a vassal state of Liu Bi in Han Dynasty, where seawater was boiled to make salt. This kind of salt, called loose salt, is of good quality and large quantity, and is transported to Wudu (Suzhou) for distribution. And that development of Haiyan county, Youquan county is also develope. Due to the local subsidence phenomenon, part of the sea salt has become a lake, and the fist has also fallen into the valley water. Haiyan County was forced to move southward around the second year of Emperor Han Ping's reign.

By the Jin Dynasty, the Shanghai area mainly relied on the benefits of fishing and salt, and its economy was quite developed. In the first year of Liang Datong in the Southern Dynasties (585), the original Haiyan County was divided into Qingpu County and Qianjing County. In the Tang Dynasty, the southern border of Kunshan, the eastern border of Jiaxing and the northern border of Haiyan were located in Jianhua Pavilion County, and the county was located in Songjiang County. In the fifth year of Tianbao (746), Qinglong Town was established in Jiang Nanan, Wusong, northeast of Qingpu, directly under Huating County. Qinglong Town was originally the place where Wu Sunquan built and moored warships during the Three Kingdoms period. Qinglong Port is the starting point of the lower reaches of Wusong River and a new port for foreign trade in the Tang Dynasty. Shipping vessels can not only reach coastal and inland river towns, but also directly reach Japan and North Korea.

at the beginning of the song dynasty, huating county was changed to xiuzhou (the state is now Jiaxing) on liangzhe road. At this time, the beach to the east of Huating County has become an important salt field, with "a vast population and a sea ship beating" and increasingly developed commerce. In the first year of Song Xuanhe (1119), with the dredging of Songjiang Waterway again, Qinglong Town saw more development. According to Mei Yaochen, a poet of the Song Dynasty, in Qinglong Magazine, Qinglong Town has 22 bridges and 36 squares, as well as "three pavilions, seven pagodas and thirteen temples with thousands of fireworks", which was known as "Little Hangzhou". Although Qinglong Town is so prosperous, Shanghai, as a seaport of Huating, was still a desolate fishing village. Later, due to the shallow siltation in the lower reaches of Wusong River, Qinglong Town, which was once prosperous, gradually lost its position as a good port at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and became increasingly depressed and neglected.

During the reign of Song Xining (l68-l77), the trade center moved to the northeast of Huating, where residential areas were formed, and the fishing village became a small town with a certain scale. In the third year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty (1267), the town government was formally established here, and the town was stationed. Because it is located on the west side of Shanghai Puxi, it is called "Shanghai Town". From the Yuan Dynasty to the 14th year of the Yuan Dynasty (l277), a city shipping department was established in Shanghai Town, which together with Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Qingyuan and Ganpu were called the seven largest city shipping departments in China. The yamen of Bosi in Benbu City was located in the later Shanghai County Department, that is, Guangqi Road, Fangbang South Road, Xiaodongmen today.

In the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty (l291), the "Shanghai County" was officially established, which was the beginning of Shanghai's city construction. By the Ming Dynasty, there were many shops and restaurants in Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai had become a well-known "southeast city". At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Shanghai's administrative districts evolved again, gradually forming the scale of Shanghai today.

On the eve of the Opium War in l84, Shanghai County was bordered by Chuansha in the east, Nanhui in the south, Qingpu in the west and Baoshan in the north. There are 63 streets and lanes in the county town, with many shops, fresh feathers and vast territory, which is called "the city of the southeast".

After the defeat of the Opium War, on August 29th, 1842, the Qing Dynasty * * * ordered the surrender faction Ying Ying and Ilib to sign the treaty of nanking with the British plenipotentiary Pu Dingcha. The third paragraph of the Treaty stipulates: "From now on, the Great Emperor (Emperor Daoguang of Qing Dynasty) allowed the British people to live with their families in five ports along the coast of Qing Dynasty, such as Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo and Shanghai, with no obstacles to trade." Then, under the pretext of "sorting out the aftermath", Britain signed the Humen Treaty with the Qing Dynasty on October 8, l843. ......> >

question 2: what are many cities called "Rongcheng", which is the abbreviation of the nickname "Furong City" in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. According to legend, after the Five Dynasties, Meng Chang planted hibiscus mutabilis all over the palace city, because Chengdu was named Furong City, which was later referred to as Rongcheng or Rong. It is a city with a long history.

Guangzhou is known as the "Flower City", and its annual Spring Blossom Market has attracted worldwide attention.

Yangcheng, another name of Guangzhou

Kunming, enjoys the reputation of "Spring City". It is the capital of Yunnan, the gateway city of China open to Southeast Asia and South Asia, a national historical and cultural city, an important tourist and commercial city in China and one of the important central cities in the western region.

Quancheng, another name of Jinan City, is located in the middle and west of Shandong Province. It is named after the "every spring, every household weeping willows", and it has a famous 5A-level scenic spot, the first spring in the world, including 72 springs such as Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring and Baishiquan, which are famous for its scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

The capital, known as Zhenjiang City in Jiangsu Province, was built in 29 (in the 14th year of Jian 'an) by Sun Quan before he moved the capital to Jianye. It is commonly known as Tieweng City

the city that never sleeps, and it is another name for new york City in the United States. Question 3: What is Shanghai called? Shanghai is called "Shanghai" for short, and together with the city, it is called "Shencheng"

Shanghai is known as "Paris of the East"

Shanghai is also called the magic capital and the city that never sleeps.

question 4: what is the name of Shanghai, Shanghai for short, or Shen for short? About 6, years ago, the western part of Shanghai became land, and the eastern part became land for 2, years. Xiangfa During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was once the fief of Huang Xie, the king of Chu State in the spring of Shen Dynasty, so Shanghai was called Shen. During the Jin Dynasty in the 4th and 5th centuries A.D., residents in Songjiang (now Suzhou River) and coastal areas mostly made a living by fishing. They created a bamboo fishing tool called Hu, and because the river was called blasphemy at that time, the downstream area of Songjiang was called Hu, and later it was changed to Hu. Therefore, Shanghai is also called Shencheng.

Question 5: What is the name of Shanghai? Shanghai can be called the city that never sleeps, the magic capital and so on.

Question 6: Beijing is called the Imperial Capital, and Shanghai is called the Magic Capital. Are there any other cities that are called everything? Nanjing's old capital, Dongguan's sex capital, Chongqing's accompanying capital, Guangzhou's demon capital, Wuhan's fake reading of Chengdu is called Chengdu

Question 7: What is the city of Shanghai called in modern times? Question 8: Shanghai is smaller than Beijing, why is it also called the largest city in China? The largest city in China is talking about population, not land area.

Shanghai has a permanent population of over 24 million, and Beijing has a permanent population of over 21 million.

On the surface, Beijing's land area is much larger than Shanghai's, but most of it is mountainous. As far as livable land is concerned, Beijing is not much bigger than Shanghai.

Because Beijing is the capital and the power center of China, its resources such as education and medical care are much stronger than that of Shanghai. In terms of urban influence, Beijing is indeed the first in China, and its population and GDP are also expected to surpass Shanghai.

In addition, Chongqing has a population of nearly 3 million, and its economy has developed rapidly. However, due to historical habits and urban influence, Shanghai is generally regarded as the largest city in China.

Question 9: Why is Shanghai called Shencheng? Shanghai is one of the largest and most prosperous cities in China and a world-famous big city. But in ancient times, it was a sea of Wang Yang. Later, due to sediment deposition, it gradually became a beach and finally became a new land. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Wu built a pavilion here and named it "Huating". During the Warring States Period, it was the fief of Huang Xie, a noble of Chu. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of Soochow built a naval base here, which was still an unknown small village at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Juzhen, the then prefect of Wu Jun (now Suzhou), played the last part, and cut the southern border of Kunshan, the eastern border of Jiaxing and the northern border of Haiyan to set up Huating County (now Songjiang District of Shanghai). The nameless village also has the name of Huating Sea. This should be the earliest name of Shanghai. In the Song Dynasty, the economy here developed and became a distribution center for domestic and foreign trade. In 1265, the first year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, a town was built here. At that time, Wusong River, now Suzhou River, had two tributaries on the south bank, one called Shanghai Pu and the other called Shanghai Pu. The town is located near Shanghai Pu, so it is named Shanghai Town. This is the origin of Shanghai place names. In 1292, in the twenty-ninth year from Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty, Shanghai County was established. In 1927, it was changed to Shanghai Special City. In 1949, after the establishment of the People's Republic of China, it was changed to a municipality directly under the central government.

The origin of Shanghai's short names "Shanghai" and "Shen"

Let's talk about "Shanghai" first. "Shanghai" was originally a fishing tool, made of bamboo. The local people inserted this tool into the rivers and seas, and the tide sank and retreated. Fish came with the tide and were stopped by Shanghai when the tide ebbed. In ancient times, it was called "blasphemy" for the channel that expanded outward in a trumpet shape. At that time, Shanghai was located at the mouth of the Songjiang River, which was a trumpet-shaped bay. Therefore, people will call the area around the Songjiangkou, which is also known as "blasphemy" and has "Shanghai" everywhere, "Hudu", which is where Shanghai is located. Therefore, "Shanghai" has also become synonymous with Shanghai.

Speaking of the abbreviation of "Shen" in Shanghai, it has something to do with Huang Xie, an aristocrat of Chu who was sealed here during the Warring States Period. Huang Xie was one of the famous "Four Childes" in the Warring States Period, and was named Chun Shenjun. He is as famous as Meng Changjun of Qi, Xinlingjun of Wei and Ping Yuanjun of Zhao. At that time, Huangpu River was still a nameless river, which was often flooded because of sediment deposition and high riverbed. Huang Xie led the people to dredge, dredge the river and build dams, so that the river can benefit the people. In order to remember him, people not only built temples for him, but also renamed the river Spring Jiang Shen, or Jiang Shen for short. Later, people called Shanghai "Shen". Therefore, the abbreviation of Shanghai "Shen" is a commemoration of Huang Xie's benefit to Shanghai people.

question 1: which four cities are called fire cities? The origin of the four stoves (Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Nanchang) People often refer to Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Nanchang as the "four stoves" in China. From the analysis of historical meteorological data, these four cities have high temperature in summer, high temperature at night and high air humidity. According to experts from Nanjing Institute of Catastrophic Weather and Climate, the number of days with high temperature above 35℃ is scientifically used to measure the heat degree of a city. Nanjing, Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang and other cities are indeed at the top of the list every year. According to statistics, the hot weather above 35℃ in summer in four major cities averages 19.3 days per year, and the hot weather above 37℃ averages 4.5 days per year. The lowest temperature above 28℃ at night is 13.2 days per year on average, and the lowest temperature above 3℃ is 1.9 days per year on average. Coupled with the sultry heat of "no wind in the city", it is no wonder that it has the name of "stove". The heat of Chongqing originates from the terrain, and the "Chongqing Furnace" is an alchemy of Laoshan, which is a famous high temperature area in midsummer in China. This year, compared with the high temperature in the north, Chongqing is slightly milder. The heavy rainfall in early June eliminated some summer heat for Chongqing in early summer, but Chongqing people are not thankful for this. Mr. Han, who lives in Yongchuan, Chongqing, said: "The specialty of Chongqing is the summer in July and August, and the finale is the autumn tiger in September. The high temperature has not yet started this year." Experts explain that Gongyu in summer in mountain city is the result of industrialization: "The increase of industrial emissions (sulfur dioxide, tiny dust, etc.) affects solar radiation, which leads to the increase of precipitation and the relative decrease of high temperature days." Such "artificial rainfall" is an "unexpected harvest" of environmental pollution to a certain extent. Jiangcheng Wuhan can be called "the first generation of furnace chief". There are many rivers and lakes here, and a lot of water vapor evaporates, and the whole city is covered by clouds of hot air. On the one hand, it slows down the radiation speed of ground heat into the air, on the other hand, it makes the surface of the human body difficult to dissipate heat, just like a sauna, sweating like pulp and sultry. On a certain day in 1934, the record of 41.3℃ in Wuhan won the title of "Furnace Chief" for Jiangcheng. Nanjing has won the essence of "Summer 99" in the south of the Yangtze River: never leave your hands and sweat like taking a bath. The high temperatures in Nanjing and Shanghai are comparable, but the coastal terrain in Shanghai makes Nanjing feel inferior. "Because of the air pressure difference between land and sea, Shanghai is much cooler than Nanjing at night. Although the highest daily temperatures in the two places are similar, the average daily temperature in Shanghai is relatively low." Professor Qian from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences of Nanjing University explained. Historically, the top three "stoves" in Chongqing, Wuhan and Nanjing have sat firmly, but the ownership of the "fourth stove" has always been controversial. Nanchang, Jinan, Shanghai and Guangzhou have been on the list, and Nanchang finally won. In the summer of 23, the highest daily temperature in Nanchang reached or exceeded 39.7℃ for 22 days, and the highest ground temperature exceeded 6℃. Citizens have jumped into the Ganjiang River to cool off the heat, and thousands of people swim on the river every day. It was late autumn in November of the same year, and the highest temperature in Nanchang reached 31.2℃ on a certain day. At present, the "furnace city" has requested to take off their hats, and only Nanchang has not yet applied.
