What city is Shanghai called?

Question 1: What's the name of Shanghai? Shanghai has a long history and is one of the second batch of 38 famous historical and cultural cities announced by the State Council 1986. The west of Shanghai became land 6000 years ago. The formation of urban land took place in the first half of 10 century.

In 223 BC, Kuaiji County was established after Qin destroyed Chu, and Suzhou was its governing place. 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 the Kuanchi Road from Xianyang to Jiangsu and Shanghai via Hubei and Hunan. According to historical records, the equator is 50 steps wide and a tree is planted every 3 feet. Chidao passes through the northwest of Songjiang today, "crossing Qingpu Gutang Bridge and connecting Wucheng in the west". In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang led a group of military commanders such as Prime Minister Reese and his youngest son Hu Hai to tour the south. They used to pass through the western part of Songjiang, Hengshan, Xiaokunshan and Sancha in the south of Qingpu, and saw that the local products were rich, people came and went, people rowed boats and traded on the water. This shows that Shanghai had not yet formed a city.

In the Han Dynasty in 207 BC, Miao County was called Lou County. Haiyan County, located in today's Jinshan County, was a vassal state of Liu Bi in Han Dynasty, where seawater was boiled to make salt. This kind of salt is called loose salt, which is of good quality and large quantity and is shipped to Wudu (Suzhou) for distribution. Haiyan County has developed, and so has Youquan County. Due to local subsidence, some sea salt turned into lakes and fists fell into the valley water. Around the second year of Emperor Han Ping, Haiyan County was forced to move south.

In the Jin Dynasty, Shanghai mainly relied on fishing and salt income, and its economy was quite developed. In the first year of Liang Datong in the Southern Dynasties (585), Haiyan County was divided into Qingpu County and Qianjing County. In the Tang Dynasty, Jianhuating County was established in southern Kunshan, eastern Jiaxing and northern Haiyan, 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 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 Tang Dynasty. Marine ships can not only reach coastal and inland towns, but also go straight to Japan and North Korea.

In the early Song Dynasty, Huating County was changed to Xiuzhou (now Jiaxing). At this time, the beach east of Huating County has become an important salt field, with a large population and jumping ships, and the business is increasingly developed. In the first year of Song Xuanhe (1 1 19), with the dredging of Songjiang Waterway again, Qinglong Town had a greater development. According to Mei, a poet of the Song Dynasty, recorded in Qinglong magazine, Qinglong Town has 22 bridges, 36 squares, and "three pavilions, seven towers and thirteen temples with thousands of fireworks", which is known as "Little Hangzhou". Although Qinglong Town is so prosperous, Shanghai, as the mouth of Huating, is 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.

During the reign of Song Xining (l068-l077), the trade center moved to the northeast of Huating, forming a residential area, 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. Because it is located on the west side of Puxi, Shanghai, it is called "Shanghai Town". From the Yuan Dynasty to the 14th year of Yuan Dynasty (l277), a city shipping company was established in Shanghai Town, which was called the seven major city shipping companies in China together with Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Qingyuan and Ganpu. Bos yamen, the headquarters city, is located in the post-Shanghai county, that is, Guangqi Road, Fangbang South Road, Xiaodongmen today.

From the Yuan Dynasty to the 28th year of Yuan Dynasty (l29 1), the "Shanghai County" was formally established, which was the beginning of Shanghai's construction. By the Ming Dynasty, there were many shops and restaurants in Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai has become a famous "Southeast City". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the administrative divisions of Shanghai evolved again, gradually forming the scale of Shanghai today.

On the eve of the Opium War in l840, 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, with many shops, fresh feathers and vast territory, so it is called "the city of southeast".

After the defeat of the Opium War, on August 29th, 1842, the Qing Dynasty ordered Paiying to surrender, and Ilibu signed the treaty of nanking with Pu Dingcha, the British plenipotentiary. The third paragraph of the treaty stipulates: "From now on, the Great Emperor (Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty) allowed the British people and their families to live in five ports along the coast of the Qing Dynasty, namely Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Ningbo and Shanghai, without any obstacles to trade." Then, on the pretext of "cleaning up the mess", Britain signed the Humen Treaty with the Qing Dynasty on 18431October 8. ......& gt& gt

Question 2: What are many cities called Rongcheng? It is the abbreviation of Furong City and another name of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan. According to legend, after five generations, Meng Changjun planted hibiscus flowers all over Miyagi, and Chengdu was named Furong City, which was later referred to as Rongcheng or Rong. This is a city with a long history.

Guangzhou is known as the "Flower City", and its annual spring flower market attracts worldwide attention.

Yangcheng, another name for Guangzhou

Kunming, which enjoys the reputation of "Spring City", is the capital of Yunnan, the gateway city of China 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, is located in the middle and west of Shandong Province. Named after the famous 5A-level scenic spot, it is the first spring in the world, including 72 springs such as Baotu Spring, Daming Lake, Black Tiger Spring, Pearl Spring and Baishiquan, and it is a scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhenjiang, the capital of Jiangsu Province, was called in ancient times. Before moving the capital to Jianye, Sun Quan built a strong military fortress "Jingshi" in 2009 (the 14th year of Jian 'an) at the commanding height of Beigushan near Jingkou River, commonly known as Tiewengcheng.

The city that never sleeps, another name for new york, USA.

Question 3: What's the name of Shanghai? Shanghai is called "Shanghai" for short, and it is called "Shencheng" when it is connected with the city.

Shanghai is called "Paris of the East"

Shanghai is also known as 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 6000 years ago, the west of Shanghai became land, and the east became land for 2000 years. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shanghai was once the fief and the city of Huang Xie, the king of Chu.

So Shanghai is not 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 lower reaches of Songjiang were called Hu, and later it was changed to Hu. So Shanghai is also called Shencheng.

Question 5: What's 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 have everything? Nanjing's old capital, Dongguan's sex capital, Chongqing's capital, Guangzhou's demon capital, and Wuhan's fake study Chengdu are called Chengdu.

Question 7: What is the modern name of Shanghai, Wusong and Songhu?

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 more than 24 million, and Beijing has a permanent population of 2 1 10,000.

On the surface, the land area of Beijing is much larger than that of Shanghai, but most of it is mountainous. As far as livable place 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 those of Shanghai. In terms of urban influence, Beijing is indeed the first in the country, and its population and GDP are expected to surpass Shanghai.

In addition, Chongqing has a population of nearly 30 million and its economy is developing 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 metropolis. But in ancient times, it was all over 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 a little-known village at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Juzhen, then the magistrate of Wujun (now Suzhou), played a final role, cutting the southern boundary of Kunshan, the eastern boundary of Jiaxing and the northern boundary of Haiyan, and establishing Huating County (now Songjiang District of Shanghai). Unknown village also has the name of Huating Sea. This should be the earliest name of Shanghai. In the Song Dynasty, it developed economically and became a distribution center for domestic and foreign trade. In the first year of Xianchun in the Southern Song Dynasty, namely 1265, the 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, hence the name Shanghai Town. This is the origin of Shanghai place names. In the twenty-ninth year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty, namely 1292, Shanghai County was established. 1927 changed to Shanghai Special City. 1949 after the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was changed to a municipality directly under the central government.

The origin of Shanghai's abbreviation "Shanghai" and "Shen"

Let's start with "Shanghai". "Shanghai" was originally a fishing tool made of bamboo. Local people insert this tool into rivers and seas, and the tide sinks and ebbs. The fish came with the tide and was stopped by Shanghai when it ebbed. In ancient times, the trumpet-shaped channel was called "blasphemy" At that time, Shanghai was located at the mouth of Songjiang, a trumpet-shaped bay. Therefore, people will call the Songjiangkou area, also known as "blasphemy" and "Shanghai" everywhere, "Lake Capital", which is the location of Shanghai. Therefore, "Shanghai" has also become synonymous with Shanghai.

Speaking of the abbreviation of "Shen" in Shanghai, it has something to do with Huang Xie, a noble 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, whose name was Chun Shen Jun. He is as famous as Meng Changjun of Qi, Xinlingjun of Wei and Ping Yuanjun of Zhao. At that time, Huangpu River was still an unnamed river, because of sediment deposition, the riverbed was high and often flooded. Huang Xie led the people to dredge, dredge the river and build dams, so that the river can benefit the people. To commemorate him, people not only built a temple for him, but also renamed the river Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen for short. Later, people called Shanghai "Shen". Therefore, the abbreviation of Shanghai "Shen" is a commemoration of Huang Xie's benefit to Shanghainese.

Question 10: which four cities are called fire cities? The origin of the four furnaces (Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Nanchang) People often refer to Wuhan, Nanjing, Chongqing and Nanchang as the "four furnaces" 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. Experts from Nanjing Institute of Catastrophic Weather and Climate introduced that the number of days with high temperature above 35℃ is used to measure the heat degree of a city scientifically. Nanjing, Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanchang and other cities do rank first every year. According to statistics, the average annual high-temperature weather above 35℃ in four major cities is 19.3 days, and the average annual high-temperature weather above 37℃ is 4.5 days. The annual average minimum temperature above 28℃ at night is 13.2 days, and the annual average minimum temperature above 30℃ is10.9 days. Coupled with the sultry heat of "no wind in the city", it is no wonder that there is a "stove". The heat in Chongqing originates from the topography. The "Chongqing Furnace" is an alchemy of Laoshan Mountain, which is a famous high temperature area in midsummer in China. Compared with the high temperature in the north this year, Chongqing is slightly milder. The heavy rainfall in early June eliminated some summer heat for Chongqing in early summer, but Chongqing people were not grateful for it. Mr. Han, who lives in Yongchuan, Chongqing, said: "The specialty of Chongqing is the summer in July and August, and the autumn tiger is the finale in September. The high temperature has not yet started this year. " Experts explained that Gong Yu in summer in mountain cities is the result of industrialization: "The industrial emissions (sulfur dioxide, tiny dust, etc.) have increased. ) affecting solar radiation, leading to an increase in precipitation and a relative decrease in 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 leaders". There are many rivers and lakes here, a lot of water vapor evaporates, and the whole city is shrouded in clouds of hot air. On the one hand, it slows down the radiation speed of geothermal energy into the air, on the other hand, it makes it difficult for the human body surface to dissipate heat, just like washing a sauna, sweating and sultry. 1one day in 934, Wuhan recorded a temperature of 4 1.3℃, which 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 Shanghai's coastal topography dwarfs Nanjing. "Because of the air pressure difference between land and sea, Shanghai is much cooler than Nanjing at night. Although the maximum daily temperature in the two places is similar, the average daily temperature in Shanghai is relatively low. " Professor Qian from the Department of Atmospheric Sciences of Nanjing University explained. Historically, the three "stoves" in Chongqing, Wuhan and Nanjing used to sit steadily, but the ownership of the "fourth stove" has always been controversial. Nanchang, Jinan, Shanghai and Guangzhou all made the list, and Nanchang finally won. In the summer of 2003, the highest daily temperature in Nanchang reached or exceeded 39.7℃ for 22 days, and the highest ground temperature exceeded 60℃. Citizens have jumped into the Ganjiang River to cool off the heat, and thousands of people swim on the river every day. In the same year, June 5438+065438+1October was late autumn, and the highest temperature in Nanchang reached 3 1.2℃. At present, all the "furnace cities" require to take off their hats, and only Nanchang has not applied yet.
