For example, the name of Jinan city originated in the south of Jishui, and there is also a Jiyang county in Jinan city. There are Hebei North Middle School and Hebei North Development Zone in the county. These names come from the north of Jishui, and they represent that Jinan is one of the important towns in China's history. Jinan's Jingyi Road goes straight to Qi Jing Road, and Wei Yi Road goes straight to Wei Yi Road. These road names were set in the early days of Jinan's opening as a result of the collision between eastern and western civilizations.
According to the official statement, the name Yantai means beacon tower, which was also named during the Ming Dynasty. Yantai was the main battlefield of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression at that time, hence its name. Weihai is also named in this way, which has obvious meaning of coastal defense.
There are also places such as Qingdao and Huangdao, because these places are mainly island culture in the early days, so they will be reflected in the names. Penglai is named after the mountains and rivers, so I don't need to go into details. Qufu used to be a small town, but later it became famous and became a city.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bulk goods were transported by Haihe River, and Jiaodong Peninsula was adjacent to the sea, so it was naturally an important transportation place. At that time, the Ming and Qing governments were still using wooden boats, and their shipping capacity was very limited. Basically, they can only be transported to the Korean Peninsula, Xiamen, Taiwan Province Province and Japan.
Jiaodong Peninsula was probably the only foreign trade port at that time, so it was the first to use modern language to name place names. At that time, most of the officials were cultivated in Chinese studies and their thoughts were diversified, so the names they chose had a certain charm.
