我国省一级的行政建制,在不同的历史朝代有所不同,秦朝称“郡”,唐朝称“道”,宋朝称“路”,从元朝开始,才逐步改称为“行省”或“省”。各省的名称来源于不同的取义,有的由旧行政单位名称分别演变而来,有的则以座落的地理位置命名,有的又以省内有名的山川湖泊取名。

The administrative establishment at the provincial level in China differs in different historical dynasties. The Qin dynasty referred to as “the county”, the Tang dynasty called the “way”, and the Song dynasty called the “road”. Since the Yuan dynasty, it was gradually renamed as the “provincial province” or “province”. The names of the provinces are derived from different meanings. Some are derived from the names of old administrative units, some are named after their geographical locations, and some are named after the famous mountains and lakes in the province.
