The name "Uprising Sea" was not called the South China Sea until the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it was widely circulated in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the name Nanyang also spread. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were more and more names of "Nanhai", and Shen Quanqi, a poet who was demoted in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "Lower Nanhai". In the Ming dynasty, there was a saying of "Wanli Stone Pond". But it is also called "Nanyang".
