Nanyang, formerly known as Wan, is located in the southwest of Henan Province, bordering Hubei Province and Shaanxi Province. It is named because it is located in Funiu Shan Zhinan, north of Hanshui River. Nanyang is a horseshoe-shaped basin surrounded by mountains on three sides and open in the south, which is called Nanyang Basin in history. "Nanyang" is located in Funiu Shan Zhinan, north of Hanshui River. The origin of Nanyang's name is clearly recorded in the literature. Forty-three years after Zitongzhi founded Wu Ji, Qin set Nanyang County in the south of Nanshan and the north of Hanshui River, and Yuanhe County Map Shannan Road II set out that Qin set Nanyang County in the middle, so there was a sunny place. The above three records, although the words are not the same, express the same meaning. China in "South of China" should be understood as "Central Plains" or "China", and Nanshan in "South of Nanshan" is now Funiu Mountain. "South of China" and "South of Nanshan" both indicate the geographical orientation of this area. However, "the land of sunshine", "living in the land of sunshine" and "north of Hanshui River" indicate that its site selection has the characteristics of "sunshine". In ancient China, there was an established naming principle of place names, that is, "the northern water is Yang, the southern water is Yin", and "the southern mountain is Yang and the northern mountain is Yin". Nanyang, located in the north of the Hanshui River, is located in Funiu Shan Zhinan, which has the dual characteristics of "Yang". Notes in Nanyang County Records of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty: "Zhou Weishen, the Spring and Autumn Period is Chu, and the Warring States Period is Han. Qin took the land of Korea to the north of Hanshui River, and set Nanyang County to rule ten thousand, so it was called Nanyang, because it was in the south of China and lived in Fangcheng between Hanshui River. This fully shows that when Qin established Nanyang County, it was named "Nanyang" because it was located in Funiu Shan Zhinan, north of Hanshui River.

Wan is one of the earliest place names in Nanyang. Wan not only reflects the geomorphological characteristics of the basin, but also reflects its ecological environment. "Shuo Wen Jie Zi": Wan, bend the grass and walk, from the sound. Its meaning: ① It is "high on all sides and low in the middle", which accords with the landform characteristics of Nanyang Basin, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and low in the middle; (2) The grass is covered by grass, and the grass is lush. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Chu in the south became more and more powerful, and successively annexed the countries in the Hanshui River basin in the north, and Lu and Shen were also destroyed by King Wen of Chu. After Chu occupied this land, with fertile soil and convenient rivers, Wan Yi was established here as a base to seize the Central Plains. Wan's name is from then on. Later, Wan changed from a domain name to Wancheng, Wanxian, Wanzhou and Shangwan. Today, Nanyang City and Wancheng District both use Wan as their customary abbreviation.
