Why is China called China? What do these two words mean?

The abbreviation of the People's Republic of China, this name represents the collective name of the place where the Chinese people live.

How did it come about?

In fact, China is the Chinese themselves calling their country China.

In English, called.

China, which means "porcelain", because Chinese porcelain is very famous, spread to the West, is a place with porcelain civilization, it is called China.

Italian.

CINA, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, call us this.

In my opinion, the word "zhong" in the mainland has two meanings.

1) China, is the abbreviation of "People's Republic of China".

2) The great power of the world is the world. In ancient times, especially in the Tang Dynasty, China was in its heyday, and the surrounding countries had to pay tribute like the emperor of China, and give good jewelry or treasures to the emperor.

Huaxia is the Central Plains.

The China of the Central Plains and the China of China are collectively called China.

1. China, what is China? China represents the land of China and the millions of people of China, so why is it called China? In fact, in ancient China, because there were many historical dynasties in the past, each dynasty had a different version of itself, but China generally only took the entire Central Plains, because there was already such a description in the matter.

2. It was not until after the Xinhai Revolution that China became the name of our land, and it also represented the meaning of this country. In the past, people did not know geography, did not know that the earth was spherical, did not know other continents, and did not know other oceans, so people were very curious about the position of their land in the world.

3. The ancient Chinese believed that China was a unique place, because China has a long and splendid culture, and the ancient Chinese were more proud, they thought that the land under the feet of my Jiantong people was in the center of the world, and China represented the city or the land. Because they think that being in the middle is the most powerful.

4. Of course, we now know that the earth is the shape of a ball, and we also know the position of China on the earth, there is nothing very clear for a ball, but China is still passed down as a cultural symbol, until after the Xinhai Revolution, we called our land collectively China, and he will represent the title of a country more.

Other names in China include: Huaxia, Zhonghua, Kyushu, Sihai, Shenzhou and so on。There are also Chixian, (Zhu) Hua, (Zhu) Xia, Zhongxia, District Xia, Fangxia, Hanxia, Hainei, Yucheng, Yuji, Yudian, Jiumu, Jiu District, Nine Regions, Eight Prefectures, Nine Prisons, Nine Soils, Nine Fields and so on.

Zhonghua originally referred to the area of the Yellow River Valley, and the word Zhonghua first appeared in Pei's note in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. With the expansion of the territory, all the places under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty were collectively called China, which generally referred to the whole country. The name Kyushu originated in the middle of the Warring States period.

At that time, the countries were in strife and wars, and people longed for reunification, so the idea of dividing the Central Plains sprouted.

In ancient times, China was once known as the "Four Seas", which was named after the sea water surrounding the four regions. Zou Yan, a native of Qi in the Warring States Period, was inspired by overseas transportation and boldly put forward the theory of "Great Kyushu". He believes that the Kyushu of "Yugong" can only be regarded as one state together, called "Chixian Shenzhou"; There are nine prefectures of the same size, but they are only small Kyushu surrounded by the sea.

History of China

China has a vast territory and many ethnic groups, and the Chinese people in the pre-Qin period multiplied in the Central Plains, and in the Han Dynasty, the Han nationality was formally formed through cultural integration, laying the foundation of China's main ethnic group. Later, through the integration with neighboring ethnic groups, a unified multi-ethnic state was gradually formed, and the population continued to rise, with the Chinese population exceeding 100 million in the Song Dynasty and 400 million in the Qing Dynasty.

China has a long history, broad and profound, splendid and colorful, is the cultural suzerainty of the East Asian cultural circle, occupies an important position in the world cultural system, due to the geographical location and natural conditions of various places, the humanities and economic aspects also have their own characteristics. Traditional cultural art forms include poetry, opera, calligraphy, Chinese painting, etc., while the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc. are important traditional festivals in China.

After the Xinhai Revolution, they regarded themselves as China, and the ancient Chinese believed that the place where they lived was the best in the world, so they called the place where they lived China, and now the reason why it is called China is the abbreviation of the People's Republic of China, which represents the class, stratum and social groups of our people who support socialism and the reunification of the motherland.

This is because the full name of our country is the People's Republic of China, referred to as China, and in ancient China, we had the name of potato dregs China many times, but at that time it did not refer to a hidden country, but some regions; Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has been called China.

It is because we found out that there was another dynasty before the Xia Dynasty, and the celadon of this dynasty said China, so we continued to use this name.
