As for the controversy and confusion among netizens about the renaming of "Pi County" to "Pidu District", the Chengdu Civil Affairs Bureau responded from the aspects of the name change process, historical and cultural heritage, and economic development needs. The naming process for the removal of counties and divisions in Pixian County was standardized. In 2015, the former Pixian County government organized the solicitation and demonstration of names for the removal of counties and divisions. It has successively convened county People's Congress deputies, county CPPCC members, democrats, business representatives and Representatives of village (community) residents, etc., extensively solicited and carefully listened to opinions from all walks of life, and after careful study and full demonstration by well-known experts and scholars in the historical and cultural circles, the name "Pidu District" was drawn up from the names of the candidate districts. On December 12 of the same year The monthly report submitted the "Request for Instructions from the People's Government of Pi County on Cancellation of Pi County's Establishment of Pidu District in Chengdu City". The word "Pi" is a sign and symbol of history and culture. Pixian County was called "Pi" in ancient times. According to historical records, it was originally known as the city of the ancient Shu Kingdom. More than 2,700 years ago, Du Yu and Bieling, kings of Shu, both used Pixian County as their capital. It was not until the ninth generation of Kaiming that they moved from Pixian County to Chengdu. The formal establishment of the county began in the early days of the Qin Dynasty's destruction of the Shu Kingdom (about 314 BC - 311 BC). It has a history of more than 2,300 years. The word "PI" has been used as an exclusive place name to this day, and is a symbol and symbol of history and culture. The word "Pi" meets the needs of economic development. Pixian County has been the capital of historical dynasties or a city affiliated with the capital since the period of Emperor Wang. The name "Pidu District" not only retains the exclusive place name that has not changed for thousands of years in the county-level administrative divisions , and inherited the profound historical context of Pixian County. At the same time, "Pi County Douban" has become famous both at home and abroad as a national geographical indication trademark. Retaining the word "Pi" will also be conducive to the development and expansion of the "Sichuan cuisine industry". From the perspective of socio-economic development, as an important part of Chengdu City, as the urbanization development level of Pixian County has greatly improved, the name "Pidu District" is in line with the urbanization development process of Pixian County from an agricultural county to an urban area, and also It is in line with the development plan of Chengdu as a modern metropolis. ?

In my personal opinion, the naming of Pidu District is very common sense. , first of all, the character "Pi" was retained, and the character "Du" reflected the ancient capital attributes of the area.
