some old roads in the main urban area are full of historical characteristics of the city. In addition to the above measures, Qilu Evening News Qilu one point reporter Wang Chieh

to excavate the old geographical name
"urban transformation promotion, inevitably causing the old place name to disappear, new place name appears." Chen Shuyi, Secretary General of the Ji'nan city name association, said that with the expansion of the city and the huge demolition of the city's shantytowns, many old geographical names have already disappeared and replaced some new landmark buildings. For example, when the Quancheng Square was built, seven roads such as Hou Ying Fang street, Qian Di street and Mu yuan street were swallowed up. Although
is inevitable, the protection of old place names should not be ignored. "Old place names are the emotional sustenance of a local people and can not be replaced." Li Ming, director of the Ji'nan Institute of archaeology, said, "like Qu Shui Ting Street, hibiscus street and so on, full of the historical and humanistic feelings of Ji'nan, once they disappear, the city's culture appears to be shallow and empty."
"of course, not all old place names should be preserved or retained." Chen Shuyi believes that the protection of geographical names is selective. "While protecting the old place names, we should not use the new names according to the current situation of the roads." Chen Shuyi, for example, said that the renaming and naming of the Wei two road after the transformation was a successful case. The name of the new road not only retained the 80 year historical road, the 58 year history of Tiancheng Road, the heroic mountain road of the 30 year history, and the name of the two road of the 100 year history, and also named the "Wang Yue Road" for the new section.
"Ji'nan will excavate the statistical old place names in conjunction with the second census work of the State Council. The corresponding books, records, old streets and lanes can be resurrected and resurrected to record the resurrection; we also plan to build the Ji'nan city place name planning exhibition hall, open to the outside world, and retain the old place name. Ji'nan Civil Affairs Bureau place name planning department staff said.
