Archives of Regional Development and Historical Changes——On the value of historical materials for the place names in Zhaotong

人类活动的方方面面,在地名中都有着直接或间接的反映,留下了深刻的烙印。地名记录了昭通先民在改造环境,开发资源,建设家园的生产、生活历程中的酸甜苦辣,喜怒哀乐;表达了当时人们对生老病死、人情世故、众生百态的感悟与反思。地名是研究昭通地理、历史、政治、经济、文化的百科全书,也是了解民族习俗、风土人情的生动教材。

In all sides of human activities, there are direct or indirect reflections in the place names and the in-depth brands have been left. The place names recorded Zhaotong ancestors' all kinds of sweet and bitter feelings, their joy and anger and their pleasure and sorrow in the course of production and livelihood to transform the enviroment, develop natural resources and build their hometown. The place names also expressed at that time people's realization and reflection upon people's birth, age, illness and death, the ways of the world and the panorama of faces and behaviour. The place names are the encyclopaedie to research Zhaotong's geography, history, politics, economy and culture and also a vivid textbook to understand the national practice and local conditions and customs.
