ForumsNorth Archanta - free to edit blue territories → North Archanta - free to edit blue territories/Territory names

Most of the free to edit territories in North Archanta are still without names. Referring to the map and table at Collab:North Archanta feel free to suggest possible territory names for AR900 (Commonia), AR902, AR922, AR923, AR924, AR925 and AR926. This may then lead on to some voting. Also interested in though about the current langugae guide for AR925. Thanks/wangi (talk) 10:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

01 - NM$L's Proposal Names
Proposal ID Territory Local Name (name) name_en name_zh:hans Reasons
01-1 AR924 竹華 Zhuhua 竹华 AR924 is currently inspired by Chinese culture and in Traditional Chinese, so in the name:
  • "竹" means bamboo, the 3rd one of the "Four Gentlemen (in the flowers)" (花中四君子) in Chinese culture, referring to elegant and unconventional persons, and
  • "華" same as it in Huaxia, refers to Chinese culture inspirense.
01-2 AR926 朱炎 Zhuyan 朱炎 AR926 is currently inspired by Chinese culture and in Simpelfied Chinese, so in the name:
  • "朱" refers to "朱雀" (Zhuque, or the Vermilion Bird), one of the "Four Auspicious Beasts" (四大神兽, or 四象) in Chinese culture, which in ancient time refers to the south geologically, meaning that country is south of Huaxia, and
  • "炎" means hot, related to the weather in AR926, and it also refers to the "fire" in Chinese Wuxing (五行, the Five elements), which was also used to refer the south in ancient China.
01-3 AR922 - - 西华 For it's not in Chinese I just put a transcript here which means Western of Huaxia. The local name could not mean this and this is just could be considered as in ancient time, what Huaxian (and Bai people?) called them.
