关于东北地区河流名称及成因的几点看法

摘 要：通观中国河流名称,以“江”、“河”命名者居多,且具明显地域特色：南方河流以“江”命名者居多数;而北方则大多数被称为“河”;但东北地区却为一特例,该地区的大多数河流都称之为“江”,比如松花江、黑龙江、嫩江、牡丹江等等,而辽河流域则全部以“～河”命名。这一现象的出现,既基于一定的自然地理因素,更与中国江河概念的形成、传播有关。

The Opinions of the Names' Formation Causes of Rivers in the Northern Areas of China

In China, most rivers are called＂Jiang＂and＂He＂, and are regional characteristic. In the south of China, most rivers are called＂Jiang＂; in the north of China, most rivers are called＂He＂. But the rivers in northern of China are exceptional. Most of the rivers in this area, except rivers in Liaohe River Basin, called ＂He＂, are named as＂Jiang＂, such as＂Songhua Jiang, Heilong Jiang, Nen Jiang and Mudan Jiang and so on. This phenomenon is related to the physical geography of this area and the communication and formation of concepts.
