Why do the magazines on the Xicheng High-speed Railway embarrass Xi’an people?

Afang Palace became "Apang Palace", and the magazines on the Xicheng-Chengdu High-speed Railway embarrassed Xi'an people.

There are magazines and other reading materials on the back of every seat on the Xicheng-Chengdu High-speed Railway

The Xicheng-Chengdu High-speed Railway has always attracted the attention of citizens in Xi'an and Chengdu. Now that it is officially open, the trip has been shortened to 4 hours, which is great for tourism It is more convenient for the train. Mr. Zhang, a citizen of Xi'an, took the high-speed train on the second day after it opened. However, his original happy mood was completely changed by a magazine that came with the high-speed train. Many contents about Xi'an in the magazine were full of errors and omissions, which really made Xi'an "Disgraced".

There was a copy of "On and Off Screen" magazine on the train

On the second day after it opened, Mr. Zhang got on the Xicheng High-speed Railway and took his family to travel to Chengdu. I hope that more Chengdu people will come to Xi'an to travel and let more people know about Xi'an. However, on the D4263 ride that Mr. Zhang took on December 7, a magazine "Screen and Outside" made Mr. Zhang feel sorry for Xi'an. Be less careful.

Afang Palace becomes "Apang Palace" and Huyi Station is still called Huxian East Station

This magazine is placed behind every seat and is a train reading material. The front page has "I The words "Waiting for you in Xi'an" and "Kuanzhai Alley" should be specially prepared for the two-way Xicheng High-speed Railway. The issue is also the latest issue in December 2017. After opening the first page, the second page is the table of contents, and the third page and The fourth page is a double-leaf Xicheng High-speed Railway route map. The picture is very beautiful and it also introduces local snacks at some stations. However, when he saw Afanggong Station in Shaanxi, Mr. Zhang was embarrassed, "Because I am a native of Xi'an, not only I am paying attention to the Xicheng High-speed Railway, and even more concerned about the development opportunities that some new high-speed railway stations will bring to Xi'an and the surrounding areas. However, when I saw Epang Palace Subway Station and Huyi Station on this map, I was still quite embarrassed. Huyi Station was still written as Hu. At Xiandong Station, even the word 'fang' in Afang Palace is printed as 'side', which would be embarrassing for Chengdu people traveling to Xi'an."

We can indeed see these problems in the photos sent to us by Mr. Zhang. Afang Palace is known as the No. 1 Palace in the World and is the largest palace foundation in the world determined by the United Nations. It was built in the Qin Empire and was still in existence. It was destroyed before it was completely built, but it is still considered a "wonder of the world".

The pronunciation of Afanggong has always been a controversial topic. Experts and scholars have different opinions on whether it should be pronounced as "e páng gōng" or "ā fáng gōng", but what is certain is that the word "Afanggong" These three words have never changed, and every person in Xi'an will make sure they are written correctly, but such a low-level mistake appeared in this magazine on the high-speed train from Xi'an to Chengdu.

At the same time, Huyi Station has also become Huxian East Station. The State Council approved Huxian’s application to withdraw from the county and establish a district as early as last year, and it was officially unveiled in September this year. However, the latest magazine published in December 2017 still shows Huxian East Station. This error should not appear on the Xicheng High-speed Railway train that attracts the most attention.

"Xi'an Metro Traffic Route Map" in the magazine

The Xi'an Metro Route Map is so wrong that it misleads Chengdu passengers

"If the typo is caused by carelessness, I It's understandable, but when I saw this subway map introducing Xi'an, I was so angry. Not only that most of the subway lines in the picture were not open, but even the open subway lines were wrong. Line 2 Starting from Weiqu, why did the second stop become Youyi Road, and why did the Convention and Exhibition Center disappear? Where did the other Changyanbao, Bali Village, Fangxin Village, Nankang Village, and Youjia Village appear? There is a subway station. The names are all villages, which makes Chengdu people think they have arrived at Xi'an, an international village. It is too embarrassing for Xi'an people." Mr. Zhang was already very angry when he said that the subway map was wrong. In addition to various station errors on Metro Line 2, it was opened last year. There are also many wrong station names on Metro Line 3. The names of the stations heading west on Taibai South Road are all wrong.

After seeing the photo sent by Mr. Zhang, we tried to search for "Xi'an Metro Line Map" on the Internet, hoping to find the source of this picture, but we did not find it. However, judging from the Xi'an Line 2, which opened in 2011, this picture should be at least 6 or 7 years old.

After discovering the mistake, he complained "Xi'an is embarrassed"

"Xi'an is embarrassed"? Xi'an really doesn't remember this

Mr. Zhang told this matter When meeting friends, my first reaction was "Xi'an is embarrassing", and the bad impression was already left on the way from Xi'an.

But after I calmed down, some questions lingered in my mind, "Afang Palace should be known to everyone in Xi'an. It is difficult to write it wrong, especially the establishment of Huyi District went through a lot of controversy. The whole of Shaanxi has also attracted a lot of attention, and the outrageous errors in the subway lines, anyone who has taken the subway in Xi'an can tell at a glance that there is something wrong. I really don't understand how the editors and even the editors of this magazine could not notice it?" Mr. Zhang told us these questions and also took a photo of the cover of this magazine for us. He hopes that we can check where this magazine is from?

The cover of this magazine does not have a very complicated design. Based on the title "On and Off the Screen" and the issue number "cn51-1088/j", we found that the address of this magazine is Gennan Street, Dongcheng, Chengdu. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, "Screen" "Inside and Out" was founded in 1957. It was first called "DVD Screen Inside and Out" and was not changed to its current name until 1980. It has always focused on being a film magazine, but the current editor-in-chief has made it clear that under the special circumstances created by the special environment, film magazines are no longer the only ones. Chosen.

Obviously, the magazine on the high-speed rail is from Sichuan Magazine, so Mr. Zhang’s confusion is understandable. If they want a Sichuan magazine to publish content about Xi'an, of course they can only search it online and think about it. It is really inappropriate to use content they think is not problematic to publish this magazine for passengers traveling between Xi'an and Chengdu.

We then tried to contact Screen and Offscreen Magazine, but as of the time of publication, the other party's phone could not be reached. Although I haven't contacted the other party, imagine that as long as you are a little more rigorous, these many mistakes can be avoided. Even if someone checks carefully after publication, the embarrassing situation will not happen now, let alone Xi'an will not be burdened with this "embarrassing" pot.
