Guangdong in Place Names: Regional Analysis of Cultural Landscape
by Wang Bin
About This Novel
Place names are the proper names that people give to natural or human geographical entities at a specific spatial location. Place names are also products of society. Their naming and evolution are always restricted by the level of social development. They have obvious regional, national and contemporary characteristics and have an indicative effect on regional geographical environment and human activities. Promoting research on regional place names can provide insight into the regional development process, human activity trajectories and changes in the geographical environment, highlight the activities and processes of regional human understanding of the region, and provide guidance for place name naming in the new era. This book is a pioneering work in the study of place names in Guangdong. Based on the understanding of Guangdong's geographical environment and the diachronic characteristics of the place names in the region, this book shows both comprehensible and visible landscape representations of the landscape of Guangdong's place names from the levels of categories and regional differentiation.
