Abstract

By comparing the place names of Liuzhou City and Luzhai County, the differences in the naming methods of place names between urban and rural areas and the cultural connotations reflected therein are shown. From the way of naming, the proportion of urban names named by mountains and rivers is high, and the proportion of rural names named by animals and plants is high. The proportion of place names reflecting historical, economic, religious and other factors in urban areas is high, while the place names of villages and towns are more national. The differences in naming methods reflect the differences in economy, politics, values and customs between urban and rural areas.
