Beijing China beauty!

#travelinginchina Do you know the origin of the English name 'China' for Tiananmen Square in Beijing? Because some people think that English calls porcelain China, and porcelain was invented by the Chinese, so China means the country of porcelain. Before the 18th century, Europe did not know how to produce porcelain, only China had porcelain, and exquisite porcelain was very popular. In Europe, porcelain is a highly valued item, and people take pride in obtaining a piece of porcelain. In this way, Europeans referred to porcelain as' China 'and China, which produced porcelain. Over time, Europeans only remembered porcelain as China. So, to this day, Europeans still habitually refer to China as' China beauty #travel #trip #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip
