Zhengzhou geographical names have extensive representation in the central region of China.From the perspective of linguistics,the three-syllables and four-syllables of Zhengzhou's place names are the main forms of speech.They use the ordinal numbers and locative words flexibly,and use metaphors such as metonymy,metaphors,quote allusions,and hyperboles.The formation of geographical names in Zhengzhou is deeply influenced by regional culture.The unique topography and landforms,industrial and agricultural production,land and water transportation,military struggle,and cultural heritage in Zhengzhou are all important influence factors for the formation of geographical names in Zhengzhou.Statistical analysis shows that in the Zhengzhou toponymic system,most of the kinships such as surname clans are reflected,followed by the geographic environment of mountains and rivers,and the third is the reflection of economic activities such as traditional handicraft production and commercial activities,and finally reflects Islam.,Christianity,Catholicism,Buddhism,Taoism and other types of religious beliefs.The historical evolution of Zhengzhou geographical names can be attributed to changes in administrative divisions or the construction of new blocks in cities.Some can be attributed to the influence of socio-political and economic factors,and some can be attributed to the pursuit of simple and intuitive names or the motive of the popularization of spoken words..The history of the change of place names in Zhengzhou is the history of socio-economic,political,and cultural changes in Zhengzhou.In order to inherit the culture of geographical names and regulate the naming of new geographical names,a sound and complete legal system for the management of geographical names and the construction of geographical names should be established,and a long-term mechanism for the naming and management of geographical names should be established.
