Etymology[edit]
From 揚子/扬子 (Yángzǐ) (for "Yangzhou" directly or for a nearby ferry named "Yangzi") + 江 (jiāng, “(major) river”). Its false etymology as "Son of the Ocean" stems from the homophonic misnomer 洋子江.
Pronunciation[edit]
Proper noun[edit]
揚子江
- (obsolete) the stretch of the Yangtze River between its mouth and Nanjing, near the formerly-important port of Yangzhou
- Yangtze River
Usage notes[edit]
In Chinese, the name 長江/长江 (Cháng Jiāng) is overwhelmingly more common. To the extent 揚子江 is employed in modern usage, it is typically translating names or phrases from foreign languages, where variations on it became standard for the entire river.
