Taking a bus from Xuzhou, Jiangsu to Linyi, Shandong, the car was refueling halfway, and the driver shouted in his throat: "Come to Lanling to buy tickets." "The strange thing is that no one has agreed for half a day. The driver was anxious, from the back of the car to check one passenger after another, when asked where a young man went, the other party's answer made the driver cry and laugh...
At that time, the bus departed from Pizhou City (a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou) and the destination was Linyi City Bus Terminal.
Although Pizhou and Linyi belong to two provinces, they are very close to each other, and they are next to each other, about two or three hours by car.
Because it is a short distance, there are usually very few passengers. It just happens to be a year after the end, so there are a bit of a lot of passengers on this train.
At that time, not long after leaving the station, there were intermittent people on the road, this kind of short-distance passenger transport, passengers outside the station are common, everyone sleeps confused, and no one cares who gets off where to get off.
About an hour or so later, the car reached a gas station, and the driver began to charge the people who were driving halfway through.
When the person who called to Go to Lanling bought a ticket, no one answered, and the driver thought that the passenger was asleep and did not hear it, so he shouted again, but no one responded.
This can make the driver anxious: "Strange, just now on the road, obviously there is a person on the car and said that he wants to go to Lanling, just one person, quickly reply to the sentence."
A car of people listened to the driver's shouts, and suddenly fell asleep, but no one agreed to the driver.
The driver master was helpless, ran to the back of the car a few steps, and began to inquire about the passengers' destinations one by one, and some people took out their tickets themselves.
When he walked to the back of the row, a young man asked: "Did you buy a ticket, where to get off?" ”
The young man replied slowly, "I'll go to Cangshan Mountain." ”
The driver almost jumped up after listening to it, and said angrily: "My voice is dumb, why don't you agree, you didn't buy a ticket alone." ”
"Cangshan is Lanling, Lanling is Cangshan, and the original Cangshan County is now renamed Lanling County." I don't know how to change the name. Then after a few more complaints, he went back to the driver's seat and sat down.
Someone in the car laughed, the young man didn't say anything, he didn't seem to be confused yet, and he quickly bought a ticket. After arriving at Cangshan, the driver kindly reminded the young man and let him get out of the car.
Although I am not from Shandong, I am familiar with several surrounding cities. Maybe it hasn't been here for a long time, and I don't even know, when Cangshan County became Lanling County?
Quickly take out the mobile phone to inquire, the result is that the current Cangshan County has really changed its name to Lanling County, and I can only blame myself for being lonely and unheard.
Inquiring about Cangshan County on the headlines will directly jump to Lanling County, and it turns out that Cangshan has changed its name since 2014.
I have learned more about this little episode, but why change the name?
Originally, according to Article 4 of the Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names, "the names of counties, cities above the municipal level nationwide, the names of a county, a township within a city, and the names of villages in a township shall not be duplicated and homophony shall be avoided." ”
Cangshan County coincides with the same name as "Cangshan Mountain" in Dali, Yunnan, and the other side is also a famous tourist attraction. Therefore, Cangshan will be renamed Lanling.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons.
Lanling place names have a long history, as early as the Warring States period was called Lanlingyi, and later known as Lanling County, until it was abolished after the founding of the country, and then most of the jurisdiction was planned to Cangshan County.
Lanling County is a historical city, an ancient cultural capital, with deep connotations, and now restoring Cangshan County to its original name not only avoids the trouble of duplicate names, but also makes its popularity higher, a bit of the meaning of killing two birds with one stone.
In fact, in a sense, the name is the business card, a city's name is good, change it well, sometimes it can really promote the development of the local area and open up the popularity.
Just like the "Dayong City" in Hunan has become the current "Zhangjiajie".
The "Zhongdian County" in Yunnan became the "Shangri-La".
The "Chong'an County" of Fujian Province became the current "Wuyi Mountain." ”
It can be seen that the development of a city is good or not, what the potential is, and the name occupies no small weight.
Of course, if there are cities that succeed in changing their names, there will be cities that have failed to change their names. Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
Note: The event was personally experienced.
What do you think about changing place names?
