In the early days of the founding of New China, in 195, the government only changed the names of a few roads, and still followed the standard of naming by established place names. With the continuous development of Shanghai, the urban area is expanding at an alarming rate. The demand for road names is more abundant, and the corresponding rules can only be based on a general principle. This principle is to use domestic place names as road names as far as possible, and the location of the named area in the whole country should be roughly equivalent to the location of this road in Shanghai, without affecting the original main roads. This is not only easy to find, but also a way to express the harmony of the whole country and the whole world.
The development after 199s suddenly made people discover that road names can be an intangible wealth. The person in charge of the Shanghai Geographical Names Office said that there was no Ningxia Road in Shanghai, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region took the initiative to apply for naming, so famous brand enterprises and featured products such as Guangxia Group and Lycium barbarum in Ningxia naturally entered Ningxia Road, opening a breakthrough for the Shanghai market. At the request of kaiyuan city, Yunnan province, there is kaiyuan road again.
