I. Historical evolution
1. Guizhou: A vassal state in the Western Zhou Dynasty, located in present-day Guizhou and Yunnan.
2. Qiannan, Qiandongnan and Qianxinan: The three regions under the jurisdiction of Guizhou Province are named because they are located in the south, southeast and southwest of Guizhou Province respectively.
3. Qianjiang: It is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In Guizhou Province, the river is named after its light blue color due to the influence of the local Miao people near its source.
Second, the source of the word "money"
1. Etymological explanation: According to ancient books such as Shuo Wen Jie Zi, the word "money" originally refers to a fish, and later refers to a black object in the water. Because in the early years, most areas in Guizhou were remote areas where mountains, valleys and rivers intertwined.
However, the mountainous areas in Guizhou are rainy, with short sunshine time and lush vegetation. Many rivers in mountainous areas are generally dark green or dark black, so they are called "Guizhou Water" and "Qianjiang River". Later, "money" was used to represent the humanities, history, culture and many other aspects of this area.
2. Historical and cultural interpretation: Guizhou belongs to the region where Guizhou is located in history. Guizhou Province was established in Yuan Dynasty, and renamed Guizhou Political Department in Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty established the Governor of Guizhou. In addition, Qiannan, Qiandongnan and Qianxinan are all named after their positions in Guizhou Province.
Third, the pronunciation changes.
The pronunciation of the word "money" is slightly different in different regions. In modern Mandarin Chinese, the pronunciation is "qián". In Guizhou dialects, such as Guizhou films, the word "money" is pronounced as "look", "mean" or "dry".
To sum up, "Qian" is named because of historical, geographical and cultural factors, and its pronunciation also has certain changes and differences. As a treasure house of Chinese culture, Guizhou has a long history and profound cultural heritage, as well as unique geographical features and ecological environment, and enjoys a high reputation in the country and even the world.
