Astronomical geographical nomenclature

Naming method of astronomical geography

Naming with words such as heaven and earth, universe, sun, moon and stars often symbolizes loftiness, vastness, lofty, bright, fiery and a certain degree of majesty, indicating grand ideals and ambitions, and also representing one's own hopes and sustenance. In ancient times, it was thought that there were ten suns in the sky, so it was named after Tiangan. In fact, it is also named after the sun and calls itself the sun. In the Song Dynasty, it was forbidden to use heaven and dragons as names. With the deepening and expansion of people's understanding of the universe and nature, the mystery and fear of the universe and nature in people's minds have decreased and disappeared. The universe and the nine planets of the solar system (Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) and the satellite moon of the earth can all be used for names. Such as Zhang Yu, Wang Zhou, Sun Tiancang, Li Yinhe, Zhao Mingxing, Shengdi, Zhou Xinghai, Golden Star, Fang Yang, Liu Yue, Han Rixin, Sun Xingdou and so on. Name a star to show your love for it. Pay tribute to the moon by naming it. The name of modern poet Dai Wangshu is taken from the moon. "Wang Shu" is a mythical god who drives for the moon god, and later became the name of the moon. Dai Wangshu took this name to express his passion for truth, goodness and beauty as a poet.

There are some synonyms for heaven, earth and sun. For example, heaven can be represented by dry, earth can be represented by Kun, and heaven and earth or dry Kun can also represent yin and yang, so it is also common to name them, such as Li Dinggan and Wen Naikun.

with the rapid development of modern science and technology, all kinds of artificial satellites roam the sky and the aerospace industry has a bright future. To express people's concern, prospect and expectation for their children in the cause of science and technology, some people like to use this kind of words to give names, including aerospace, satellite, spaceflight, landing on the moon, Tian Xiang and Tianxing.
