Ten cities that failed to change their names.
The top ten cities that failed in renaming were Luzhou-Hefu, Langya-Linyi, Runan-Zhumadian, Yongcheng-Baoji, Lanling-Zaozhuang, Jinling-Nanjing, Chang 'an -Xi 'an, Changshan-Shijiazhuang, Chao Ge-Qixian and Jiuyuan-Baotou.

1, Luzhou-Hefei

Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, was originally named Luzhou, and was called Luzhou House before the Qing Dynasty. Because Luzhou and Sichuan Luzhou have the same pronunciation, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding, Hefei should not change its original name.

2. Langya-Linyi

Linyi was called Langya in ancient times. Langya refers to a stone as beautiful as jade, which means ivory. Now it is changed to Linyi, which has no connotation at all.

3. Runan-Zhumadian

Zhumadian, formerly known as Runan, has a place name of Runan in ancient times, which means "the south of water" and lives in Yuzhou, one of the "ancient Kyushu". In the Han Dynasty, there were many talented people in Runan, which was called "there are many strange people in Runan". In the Ming Dynasty, Runan, as a resting place for messengers, set up the North-South Post Station and renamed it Zhumadian.

4. Yongcheng-Baoji

Baoji, known as Chencang and Yongcheng in ancient times, is the hometown of Yandi, an ancient Shennong, and is called "the hometown of Yandi and the hometown of bronzes". It is also the birthplace of Zhou and Qin Dynasties.

5. Lanling-Zaozhuang

During the Warring States Period, Zaozhuang began to be called Lanling. The title of Lanling was abolished in Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, Zaozhuang today belonged to Jining Prefecture, then to Yanzhou Prefecture, to tengxian in the north, to Yizhou in the south, and then to yi county.

6. Jinling-Nanjing

Nanjing was called Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times. There are as many as 44 names in Nanjing, and Jinling is the most elegant nickname of Nanjing. Nanjing is the four ancient capitals of China. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Qing Ji Road in A.D. 1356 and renamed it Yingtianfu. 1368 proclaimed himself emperor here and changed Yingtianfu to Nanjing one by one. Since then, a Nanjing official has been put on record.

7. Chang 'an -Xi 'an

Chang 'an was renamed Xi 'an. In 202 BC, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and won the world. He made Guanzhong his capital and named it Chang 'an, which means "long-term stability". Renamed Xi 'an, the ancient rhyme is still there, the domineering is insufficient, and there is no sense of Chang 'an, but it is not bad.

8. Changshan-Shijiazhuang

Shijiazhuang, known as Changshan in ancient times, was the hometown of Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Qin Dynasty, Shijiazhuang belonged to Julu County. In the early Western Han Dynasty, it was renamed Hengshan County. At the beginning of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, Hengshan County was renamed Changshan County because of the great name of Emperor Wen. 1947 was officially named Shijiazhuang until now.

9. Chao Ge-Qixian County

Qixian county, Henan province, an unknown town, is actually a famous song in the ancient capital of Shang Dynasty. This is where the story of the list of gods takes place. It used to be a bustling tourist attraction, but now no one cares.

10, Jiuyuan-Baotou

Jiuyuan was renamed Baotou. Jiuyuan has always been a military center in the north to resist the Huns from the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Since then, Han and Tang dynasties called it Jiuyuan County. After the administrative order of the Qing Dynasty, Jiuyuan was renamed Baotou City.
