Why is Singapore called "Lion City" and "Garden City"?

1, Singapore is a city-state, which originally meant the Lion City. /kloc-In the 4th century, the prince of the "Death Kingdom of Sri Lanka" in Sumatra went to the island by boat and saw a strange animal on the shore. The local people told him that it was a lion. He thought it was a good sign and decided to build this place. Singapore's "Singapura" is a homonym of the Sanskrit "Lion City", and early residents like to use Sanskrit as a place name. The lion is brave and vigorous, so it is natural to use it as a place name.

In the past, Singapore used "Singapore" as its common Chinese name in the early days of independence. Due to the influence of dialect habits brought by local overseas Chinese, many derived names appeared in the early days, such as "Silla", "Shige" and "Gaigang", and others were called "Xingzhou" and "Sing Tao" because of their small scale. It is also widely used to describe Singapore as "the country of stars" and "the lion city".

Due to internal and external factors, Singapore adopts English as the main lingua franca and teaching language.

Singapore officially uses simplified Chinese, which is consistent with that of Chinese mainland. However, during the period from 1969 to 1979, there were their own simplified Chinese characters standards in a short time, and simplified Chinese characters were the main ones among the people, but occasionally traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters were mixed. The official language of Singapore is English, so official letters, business contacts and other economic and business letters are usually mainly in English. ?
