What's this place called?

Our country has a long history, and many famous cities have various nicknames besides their real names. Some cities have multiple nicknames, such as Yangzhou, and there are three nicknames-Guangling, Jiangdu and Weiyang. There are four in Changzhou-Yanling, Piling, Jinling and Yanghu; There are five Suzhou-Wuzhong, Wumen, Gusu, Nagato and Jinchang; There are six places in Nanjing-Jinling, Moling, Jianye, Jiankang, Jiangning and Shicheng. When writing poems, literati often don't call a place by its real name or current name, but use some ancient names or posthumous title instead. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, Li Baiyou's poem "Although it is a silk city, I would rather return to my hometown quickly". Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty, wrote the words "Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times". The Yuan Dynasty carefully wrote: Liu Xianting, a geographer in the Qing Dynasty, was named Guangyangzi and wrote Yang Guang Miscellanies; A Qing Ji Yun wrote: Qiu Jin, a revolutionary in the late Qing Dynasty, was renamed "Jianhu Woman"; Mao Zedong has poems such as "Suoju Zhou Yuye Huang Zheng". Readers who don't know all the details are really at a loss when faced with various nicknames of place names. In fact, they are Jincheng (Chengdu), Qiantang (Hangzhou), Wulin (Hangzhou), Yang Guang (Beijing), Luanyang (Chengde), Jianhu (Shaoxing) and Jianhu. Because Beijing was the capital of Yan during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was also the seat of Youzhou Prefecture after the Han Dynasty. After Qin Shihuang destroyed Yan, Gyeonggi was located in the county, so Gyeonggi was nicknamed "Yang Guang". "Zhi Gu", "Jin Gu", "Gu Shang" and "Jinmen" are all nicknames of Tianjin. Because Tianjin's real name is Zhigu, it was nicknamed "Jingu" and "Gushang" after Tianjin was built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. After Ming Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing, his land happened to be the gateway of your government, so he was nicknamed "Golden Gate". Shanghai is called "Shanghai" for short, because the lower reaches of the Wusong River (Suzhou River) in China was called the Lake Capital in ancient times. Another abbreviation is "Shen", because the Huangpu River in China used to be called "Chunjiang Shen" for short. Chongqing is also called "Yuzhou", because it was located here during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and because the foggy days in Chongqing exceeded 100, it was called "Fog Capital". Nanjing is one of the ancient capitals of China, also known as Jinling, Moling, Jianye and Jiankang. Chu Weiwang was in the Warring States Period. In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was changed to Jianye, and later it was changed to Jiankang to avoid the taboo of Emperor Xu (Sima Ye). Nanjing is called Ning for short, because it was the seat of jiangning house in ancient times. Kaifeng is also a famous ancient capital, nicknamed "Bianjing", which is the name of an ancient waterway where Bianzhou was located in the Tang Dynasty. Kaifeng is also called "Liang" or "Bianliang" because it was the capital of Wei during the Warring States Period. Taiyuan is also called Bingzhou because it is the seat of the country after the Han Dynasty. Hangzhou is also called "Qiantang" because Qiantang County was established here in Qin Dynasty and changed to Qiantang in Tang Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it moved its capital here and was ruled by the Lin 'an government. Therefore, Hangzhou is nicknamed "Wulin". Suzhou was the capital of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it was nicknamed "Wuzhong" and "Wumen". In addition, Suzhou has Gusu Mountain in the southwest, Nagato in the west and Jinchangge in Nagato, so Suzhou is nicknamed Gusu, Nagato and Jinchangge. Also known as "Jiangdu", the Sui Dynasty set up Jiangdu County here. There is a saying that "Hai Huai is Yangzhou", so the word "Weiyang" was later used as another name for Yangzhou. Changzhou is also known as Yanling, Piling and Jinling, because it was the fief of Ji Zha, an aristocrat of the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Piling County was established in the Han Dynasty and renamed Jinling in the Jin Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, Yanghu County was established here. Yanghu School, a prose school in Qing Dynasty, is also famous. Shaoxing was nicknamed "Yin Shan" and "Huiji" because it was the capital of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period, Shanyin County in the Qin Dynasty and Huiji in the Sui Dynasty. Shaoxing is nicknamed Jianhu, and Hefei is nicknamed "Luzhou" because it is located in Sui Dynasty. Changsha is nicknamed "Linxiang" and "Tanzhou". Because Confucius once gathered in the city gate to give lectures, and the Confucian temples built and repaired in the past dynasties accounted for almost half of the full name area. As a descendant of Confucius, I have never been to Qufu, and I have passed many times on the way. I'll look for opportunities in the future. Chengde is called "Luanyang" because it is located in the north of Luanhe River. Guangzhou is also called "Five Yangcheng", "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City". It is said that there were five immortals in ancient times. Spring is the best in the world. Living in Jinan, I also know that Zhangqiu nearby is known as the "Little Spring City". Now living here, I like the mountains and rivers of Spring City more and more. Fuzhou was nicknamed "Rongcheng" because banyan trees were all over the city in the Northern Song Dynasty. Xiamen is nicknamed "Lujiang", "Ludao" and "Egmen" because Xiamen Island looks like an egret, and the other is called an ancient city.

Therefore, it is nicknamed "Sunlight City". Therefore, many cities have their lovely or appropriate nicknames, but in recent years, Harbin seems dissatisfied with its nickname "Ice City", claiming that winter and other seasons have brought adverse effects on urban tourism, but I want to change it, but I haven't seen it.
