The origin of Manzhouli place names?

During the period of 1644, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, there were nomadic and safari hunters such as Hu Ba, Buryat Mongols, Daur and Ewenki in Manchuria. 1727, the Qing government established three Karen ethnic groups in Manzhouli area.

Manzhouli was founded in 190 1 with a history of nearly a hundred years. Before the 20th century, it was an ideal pasture for nomadic people. At that time, there was a fountain in the west of Sidao Street in Shibei District.

Because this spring is located in the north of Horejin Mountain, herders call it "Horejin Prague". "Khorkin" means "vigorous" in Mongolian, and "Prague" means "spring", which together means "vigorous spring" and became the geographical name of this area in Manzhouli City at that time.

1901-1902 Dong Qing Railway was named "Manchuria Station" after it was built in Horqin Prague. "Manchuria" refers to "Manchuria", that is, Manchu today, and it is also the birthplace of Manchuria-the name of northeast China today. Because this is that first stop from Russia to China.

Therefore, it was named "Manzhouli Station" and translated from Russian into "Manzhouliya". When this Russian transliteration was translated into Chinese, the end of the light pronunciation "Ya" was removed and became "Manzhouli". Later, with the development of the city, the name of this station replaced the ancient name "Prague, holguin" and became the name of this border town, which is still in use today.
