I went to Hefei, Anhui. Why are there so many English local names in Hefei Yaohai?
Not only in Hefei, but also between Jianghuai and Anhui. Open the map. It's everywhere. It's related to the state of Chu, which may be the ancient Chu language. I have heard a saying that after the death of Chu, the residents of the capital of Chu were scattered. In order to commemorate the old country, Chu people called their own place Ying, which is the name of the capital of Chu. Anhui belongs to the state of Chu. In the late Chu state, the capital moved to Anhui, and the Chu people followed. After the death of Chu, the residents of the capital of Chu were scattered in Jianghuai area.
