Place names are the identification marks of geographical entities, the inheritance carrier of history and culture, and the basic information shared by human society. The standardization and informatization of place names is an ideal goal advocated by the United Nations around the world and continued to be implemented by our country. This book selects 60 articles written by the author during his long-term work on place names. Among them, the "Knowledge Chapter" explores the basic theories of place names in many aspects, and has unique insights into a number of long-standing controversial professional issues; the "Practice Chapter" mostly comes from personal experience in actual work, and uses this to test and improve relevant basic theories.
