The names of villages and towns in China are different. How did these names come from?
There are many names of villages and towns in China. As we all know, China occupies a very large area in the world, so many villages and towns have sprung up in this land, and most of these villages and towns have different reputations. So how are the names of these villages and towns named?

1, named after a famous person in the village; I believe many people are very familiar with this. You know, for a small village, if there are any great talents in it, they are all named after people. Of course, most villages and towns in ancient times were named like this. Of course, there are many villages and towns named like this now.

2. Named after the landscape name; If you are careful, you will find that many villages and towns are named after the nearby mountains and rivers. For example, the name of this mountain is Fengdu Mountain, so there will be a town called Fengdu Town under or next to it. This naming method is also very common in ancient times.

3. Named after local legends; In fact, villages and towns named after local legends are mostly villages and towns handed down from ancient times. Because a long time ago, people were feudal and superstitious and believed in ghosts and gods, so at that time, everyone thought that naming them after ghosts and gods could be protected by this fairy. So today, you can see that many towns and villages are named after ghosts and gods, such as Zhuxian Town in Henan, and of course many other towns and villages in China.
