Zhongshan

Zhongshan (; ) is a prefecture-level city in the south of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong province, China, with a population of over 3 million (2012). The city used to be called Shekki or Shiqi (石岐).

Zhongshan is one of a very few cities in China named after a person. It is named after Dr. Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), who is known in Mandarin as Sun Zhongshan. Sun, the founding father of the Republic of China who is also regarded positively by the People's Republic, was born in Cuiheng village in Nanlang Township of what was then Xiangshan County. In 1925, the year after his death, Xiangshan was renamed Zhongshan in his honor.

Zhongshan (state)

Zhongshan (, c. 6th century BC – c. 296 BC) was a Di state created by the nomadic Xianyu tribe in China during the later Zhou Dynasty. It was located on the plain east of the Shanxi plateau near the modern city of Baoding in Hebei. Its name means "Central Mountains", as opposed to the Western Mountains of Shanxi or the Eastern Mountains of Shandong.

In Chinese sources, it is called a state of the Baidi.
