4. Naming of Tourism Enterprises

China’s tourist attractions are generally divided into three types, one is purely natural landscape, the other is purely cultural landscape, and the other is purely cultural landscape. It is a combination of natural landscape and cultural landscape.

The original names of tourist attractions with natural landscapes lack humanistic connotations, so it is better to use literary words. For example, the famous Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong tourist areas use words that directly describe the landscape. Such as Changhai, Pucui Lake, Wucai Lake, Pearl Waterfall, etc. in Jiuzhaigou Valley. Huangguoshu Waterfall, Xinjiang Tianchi, Zhangjiajie Shili Gallery and other scenic spots all use adjectives directly.

Because cultural landscapes have historical connotations, their names are directly related to historical events, characters, and locations. For example, Huangliang Meng Village in Guo County, Hebei Province, also known as Lu Weng Temple, is related to the Chinese idiom Huang Liang Meng. Jiezhou Guandi Temple, its name is related to the fact that this place is the origin of Guan Yu, and it became the ancestor of the Wu Temple. Another example is the names of Bingshu Baojian Gorge and Goddess Peak in the Three Gorges, which are all named according to historical legends and fairy tales.

The names of scenic spots that have both cultural landscapes and natural landscapes also combine the characteristics of both humanistic landscapes and natural landscapes. For example, Mount Ejue in Sichuan has Wannian Temple, Xianfeng Temple, Baoguo Temple, and Chunshan Temple. There are cultural landscape names such as Yangdian Temple, Fuhu Temple, Shenshui Pavilion, Xixiang Pool, Qingyin Pavilion, Leiyin Temple, and Jinxiang, as well as natural landscape names such as Yixiantian, Zilongdong, and Hongchun Xiaoyu.

The names of tourist destinations are used to attract tourists and show the charm of the tourist destination, so the names have a strong literary flavor. For a tourist attraction like garden architecture, the name is more elegant and tasteful.

For example, in the Jinci Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi, there are water mirror terrace, fish pond flying beam, Taifengxuan, Jingyi Garden, Suohong Bridge, Liubi Gate, Zhenqu Pavilion, Butiezhou, Nanlao Spring, Sheng Manlou and other scenic spots, the names of these landscapes have a strong literary interest. Names with rich literary meaning are the most important features of the names of tourist attractions. Another characteristic of the names of tourist attractions is that they pay attention to the cultural connotation of the name, and try their best to combine it with historical legends, folklore, myths and legends, literary imagination, and observation. For example, the Giant Reclining Buddha in Mount Ejue and the Sleeping Beauty in Dianchi Lake in Kunming are all landscape names derived by later generations based on careful observation of mountain shapes and their literary imagination.

5. Naming of real estate companies

As competition in the real estate industry becomes increasingly fierce, more and more attention is paid to the names of residential communities built. Injecting cultural connotation into newly built residential communities has become a common sense among society and people in the real estate industry. A good residential community name and a good developer company name will have a positive effect on consumers. The naming of real estate residential areas, after injecting cultural connotations, will give people a refreshing feeling, bring people a kind of pleasure, and make people happy. For example, the name of a real estate residential area located near Liuhuaxi in Chengdu should be related to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. This area is a common scene in Du Fu's poems. The name is copied from Du Fu's poems, which will undoubtedly add a lot of charm to the community. .

If we name each building in the community as follows: Chengjiang, Yueyong, Xiuzhu, Qianrun, Yuanjiang, Jianchun, or Yingjiabi, Lifangzhou, Zhujingjia, Qingjia Weilin, Jintingdong and Chaohuiguo will give people a feeling of cultural taste and elegance. But if you give each building the following names: Victory, Triumph, Joy, Red Flag, Pioneer, Hongbo, Zhuanghuai, or names such as Blue Bank, Hongfan, Xuetao, Xiafei, etc., it will give people a nondescript or incongruous name. feeling, and has no cultural taste at all, unable to create a warm and pleasant cultural atmosphere. Only when the modern real estate industry uses names and pays attention to its humanistic connotations can it gain the upper hand and seize the commanding heights under the same competitive conditions. If the name is too vulgar, it will make people feel that the taste is not high and it lacks class; if the name is elegant, different names should be used according to the type of city, location, and what kind of consumers it is intended for. Only in this way can we cater to consumer psychology and attract your attention.
