Not just a name

TQO - At this time, localities are soliciting public opinion on the arrangement of administrative units at the commune and ward levels, including the content of naming new ones after the arrangement.

The plan proposed by some localities is to take the name of the district and county and then number them 1, 2, 3... to name the new communes and wards. However, many opinions say that this plan is mechanical and rigid, and does not reflect the depth of historical, cultural and traditional identity. People want to choose places rich in local identity and characteristics to name new communes and wards in order to inherit and promote the value of historical and cultural places, and preserve the soul of the homeland.

It can be seen that our ancestors did not arbitrarily or impose names on land and villages. Each land and village name that exists today has its origin, closely linked to history and culture. Many old village and land names have gone down in history and into the lives of many generations of Vietnamese people.

Each village has its own cultural characteristics, in which the village name is like the history of a book, the history of a person's life. Mentioning the village name is mentioning a certain geographical, occupational, cultural feature that the people of those villages always remember and bring with them, every time they go to live and work elsewhere.

The rearrangement of communes and wards will create many changes, including the disappearance of village and commune names - a long-standing cultural beauty. Therefore, it is necessary to be extremely careful and consider carefully

A name is not simply an administrative symbol to establish management boundaries, but also a symbol of memory, an anchor of emotions, the soul of each land. A name can evoke a long history, a cultural flow, or simply childhood, a roof, a place where many generations were born and raised.

Naming a land, a village with a place name associated with cultural depth will evoke pride and create a natural connection, arousing the development aspirations of the whole community.
