Probe into the origin of du naming

In order to avoid confusion of typhoon names, relevant countries and regions decided to standardize typhoon names at the 30th meeting of the Typhoon Committee of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) held in Hongkong, China from October 25th to February 25th.

Among them, tropical cyclones in the northwest Pacific and South China Sea are named after Asian style. The naming method is to make a naming table in advance and then reuse it year after year in sequence. The naming table *** 140 is provided by 14 member countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific region to which WMO belongs.

The typhoon name "Nabi" provided by South Korea was replaced by a new name "Du Surui" in 2006, because its pronunciation is similar to the Arabic word "Prophet" to avoid religious conflicts. "Du Surui" is still provided by South Korea, which means a kind of raptor and eagle. This is the third time that Du Surui has used it.
