The origin of "point";

Yunnan has two abbreviations: Yunhe and Yunnan. When Yunnan is called together with other provinces, it is often referred to as Yun or Yunnan, such as Yunguichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou. The abbreviation of "cloud", the first word in Yunnan, is easy to understand. Yunnan is the hometown of clouds and is named after them.

The origin of the abbreviation "point";

Wu Shuo, the name "Yunnan" appeared earlier than "Yunnan" in history. "Dian" was originally the name of the nation (or tribe) along the Dianchi Lake in the ancient southwest Yi area, which was first seen in Sima Qian's Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi. At the end of the Warring States Period, Zhuang Qi, a general of Chu, led troops to Dianchi Lake to establish Dian State. In fact, the Dian nationality and the Dian State are also named after the Dian in Dianchi Lake. As stated in the note of "Han Shu Xi Nan Yi Zhuan": "There is Dianchi Lake in the land because of its name."

Dianchi Lake, the sixth largest freshwater lake in China, ranks first among the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, and is a lake formed by the collapse of plateau faults. There are three views on the origin of Dianchi Lake. The first view is: "there is a pool on the top of the mountain, but there is a famous pool on the top of the mountain." Dianchi Lake is a plateau lake. The second type: Dianchi Lake is "the upstream source is deep and wide, and the downstream flow is shallow and narrow, which seems to flow backwards, so it is called Dianchi Lake".

This means that the phenomenon of "the upper source is deep and the lower source is shallow and narrow" in Dianchi Lake is contrary to the laws of nature and upside down. This statement is recorded in many ancient books. The third statement: The ancient Yi language (or the ancient Yi language or the Bai language) called the flat land in the mountains "Dian", and there was a pool in the middle of Yunnan, which was called "Dianchi Lake".

After the name Dianchi entered Chinese, like Dianchi Lake and Dianchi Lake, according to the custom of China, Dianchi Lake was replaced by homophonic Dian and became Dianchi Lake.

Indeed, there are many place names in Daidian, Yunnan, which means the flat land in the mountains, that is, the dam. For example: Xundian, Ludian, Zhongdian, Judian, Shadian, Shidian, Ruodian, Qidian, Diantou, Dian Wei, Toudian, Shangdian and Xiadian ... According to statistics, there are more than 100 places called "Dian" in Yunnan.

It can be seen that "Dian" was originally the name of the lake (Dianchi Lake), and later became the name of the people living around this lake (Dian nationality). At the end of the Warring States Period, Zhuang Ti was founded by Chu and became the country name (Dian State).

The research shows that from the middle of Ming Dynasty, "Dian" began to become a pronoun or abbreviation of Yunnan Province. The outstanding performance is that people's works at that time called "Yunnan" (or "southern Yunnan") the whole province of Yunnan.
