Related compounds1. 神州 [ shén zhōu ]

Explanation: During the Warring States Period, the people of the Warring States Period called China "Chixian Shenzhou", and later used "Shenzhou" as a synonym for China.

2. 中州 [ zhōng zhōu ].

Explanation: Generally refers to the area of present-day Henan. Henan belonged to Yuzhou in ancient times, and Yuzhou is located in the center of Kyushu, hence the name.

"Zhou" and "Zhou" are written in a similar way, the pronunciation is the same, and they can be used as place names, but there are still obvious differences between the two, and you can't add more or omit three points of water at will. "Zhou" has the word "water" on the side, which means a place in the water. In the "Book of Songs", one of the earliest poetry collections in China, the first "Guan Ju" has a well-known sentence "Guan Guan Ju dove, Liang Xian burns in the river island", this "continent" is also the green space in the water; Now Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas in the world are ......The "continent" still means continent in the water.

The ancients once said that the earth we live in is "three mountains, six rivers and one field", and they believed that the mountains accounted for 30 percent, the water accounted for 60 percent, and the fields only accounted for 10 percent. Although the ratio cannot be said to be very accurate, the ancients were correct in estimating that there was more water and less fields. Therefore, the land (continent) is surrounded by water, which is why the above European, Asian, African, and American expressions are born.

For example, around the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, there were records of nine or thirteen states in the country, and the "state" is roughly the same as the current "province". Therefore, now we ourselves still have the terms "Shenzhou" and "Kyushu" in China. However, it should be noted that China's administrative "states" were greatly reduced during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and were almost equivalent to "counties".

Therefore, some "counties" are still called "states" at the same time, such as Cangzhou Yicang County in the old days; Tongzhou is also known as Tongxian; Zhuozhou is Zhuo County. In modern times, the "state" has become smaller. Understand the difference between "continent and state", then in writing China, Europe, Ohio, all continents and four seas, only state officials are allowed to set fires, ......, you won't be wrong.

Geologically, a continent includes the continental shelf that surrounds it, in addition to the continent. The average density of the crust on the continental shelf is grams of cubic centimeters, which is very different from the average density of the crust on the ocean floor. The reason for this difference is that the components and formation processes of the two crusts are different.

Prefecture: An administrative division unit in pre-Qin China. In the era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there were nine states, that is, the world was divided into nine states at that time.
