Oh, the thing about why Zhubei is spelled so many different ways is so true! I've lived in Zhubei for 7 years now and saw at least 4 different spellings for it! I still find it amusing they haven't standardised it! 😂 Zhubei also has a lot of these street names too! It must have took a lot of planning (and time) to do this video with all the traveling you'd have had to do for different shots! I'm impressed! Also, why does your microphone pick up the radio stations? lol I heard it in the video you did on John Dodd too.
It's something to do with the coil inside acting as a receiver. It doesn't just happen to me. It's just that sometimes I forget to review my footage until I'm editing. Then I'm too lazy or busy to go back and rerecord!

You are so well-versed in Taiwanese culture and history. You are more knowledgeable in this respect than the majority of Taiwanese younger generation now. Kudos to your in-depth research!
Absolutely loved the video!!! Yeah, always noticed that wherever I went in Taiwan (and I've been everywhere) that all the street names are the same. One thing I do like about some street names in Taiwan is that the name can be a combination of the first characters of the connected destinations (for example "Taoying Rd." in Taoyuan connects Taoyuan to nearby Yingge District, or "Bannan Rd." in New Taipei City connects Banqiao with Nanshijiao).
Common street names in the USA. We here have even less imagination.

@@benchang2220 Streets can also be renamed in the United States over time. So, you may be interested in learning how many “First Street” got changed by the citizens and governments of a city using a more common name. For example, as a city grew, people like to rename “First Street” to “Main Street” or “Front Street”. Actually some small towns like boroughs/villages never get to grow bigger than two streets, or more than three/four streets. Or, they grew too big under planned city development in a very short period of time, so naming streets numerically deemed unpractical. Instead, towns use Alphabets to name the streets, like Street A, Street B, Street C,…., or like Street Alpine, Street Birch, Street Cedar,…. Consequently, “Second Street” becomes most popular street name in the US. I wonder how many streets in the U.S. are named as “JFK Boulevard” or “Martin Luther King Street”, or “Lincoln Boulevard” or “Jefferson Street”….
Great video as usual. KMT's annexation of Taiwan was against international law and the UN charter which stated any territory separated from the enemy should've been placed in a trusteeship and managed by an allied power with the goal for eventual self-determination. Chiang Kai-shekel knew this full well, as he wrote as such in his diary and letters to his appointed governor to Taiwan. Though his propaganda claimed Taiwan has been "incorporated" into the ROC, and drafted, taxed, pillaged Taiwanese people for his own war effort in China, which of course also violates the UN charter.
承德 road in Taipei is named after the then capital of 熱河 Province in northern China. You could tell since the road is close to other roads named after northern capitals, some of which you mentioned in the video such as 迪化 and 庫倫. 熱河 province no longer exists but 承德 city still does and is in present day 河北 Province.
You are so right about the history of KMT's took over Taiwan after the Japanese left Taiwan. They wanted to wipe out the Japanese influences. That is why now every town in Taiwan has a street of Chan Chen Street which is in honor of .Chan Kai-Shek. One can see that the politics affected everybody's life in Taiwan.
its like almost every cities in Commonwealth countries has Queen street or King street. Btw Roosvelt Rd in Taipei is named after FDR, and its the only road in Taiwan that named after a foreigner.
It's like that all over the world. In Melbourne the same street goes through several suburbs. This upsets my girlfriend cause she gets lost even after living there for 9 yrs. Cheers mate😁😁
In fact, you can treat "中正路 / 中山路" as "the Main avenue". On the other hand, the strokes of these two characters are much easier to write, so most of local people don't want to spend time to change it.
The Chinese in Taiwan are preparing for China to take over Taiwan. They started to spell everything according to China. 小(Xiao) from China vs. 小 (Shiao) from original. 中(Zhong) from China vs. 中(Chung)from original.
I think people need to have a more balanced and objective view about Chiang. Never listen to only one side of the story. Jay Taylor's biography, "The Generalissimo: Chiang Kai-shek and the Struggle for Modern China" was such a good read. It has changed my perception about him. “More than three decades after his death, Chiang is still the most controversial and polarizing figure in Taiwanese politics. In his new biography, Jay Taylor attempts to weave a life out of historical fact and rescue one of the central figures of modern Chinese history from the emotional effervescence of both supporters and detractors...Taylor does much to overturn the popular reading of [Chiang] and to illustrate Chiang's contributions to the Allied war effort. While his scholarship presents a more nuanced view of Chiang, it also uncovers a darker narrative for the Allies, who repeatedly failed to honor their commitments to Chiang...Judging by his stated goal of challenging assumptions and rounding out cardboard characterizations of Chiang, Taylor succeeds admirably. He uncovers a man devoted to reversing a century of humiliation in China.”―Robert Green, Far Eastern Economic Review

Excellent history lesson Richard! Personally I think all these street names should be reverted.
Thanks!
Were the street names legacy from the Wade System? Now, they use the Pin Yin phonetic.
It's a mish mash of many different systems, Also tong yong.
Excellent episode. So many places, so names and so many history. Love Taiwan so much!! Keep it up.
Thanks a ton!

真正的台灣人應該會想要正名這些路名，可是會有很多人跳出來喊浪費公帑之類的，長大知道這些路名大多是中國的地名及紀念白色恐怖政治人物，都覺得很無奈~ 不過理查真的好認真！這種主題由您來說感覺很適合！
然後我曾經在迪化街看到理查過 🤣 可惜那時沒有送徽章活動~

Welcome

It's such a great video to introduce the name of roads. Well done! I love it.
承德 敦化are actually place name in mainland. Btw, great video as usual.
I know, but they also have virtuous meanings!
這讓我想起「軍功路」改名成「和平東路四段」，從一個政治路改名另一個政治路，起碼在台北市，他們認為“價值”比“價值”重要。
舊街道改名困難重重
不過新街道目前不會再重蹈覆轍
也是好事
Hilarious, bite-size History! Yet respectful and educational …one of your best videos!
Many thanks!
Actually 承德路 is a name of a city located in northeastern China, it is not really about 儒家美德
LOL. Before the video I was already thinking 中正 and 中山.
Different English translation is related to different Pinyin system
Yes, but how do you explain 4 or 5 different spellings?

Japan has plenty of "Omotesando" too for street names..
its like almost every cities in Commonwealth countries has Queen street or King street.
Btw Roosvelt Rd in Taipei is named after FDR, and its the only road in Taiwan that named after a foreigner.
don't forget McArthur's bridges too!
Another history lesson, but I also got Chinese language lessons too. Well done. Btw, you new white/light blue patch looks very good too. 👍🏼👍🏼

武汉有台北路，新竹路，高雄路，妈祖路。。。。。。哈哈。他们取名字都是一样的思路。
真的哦？聽起來好奇妙
In addition to roads, there are also numerous bridges named Zhongjheng. ← how's that for inconsistent spelling?

道路命名以全台灣的火車站為主，大門出來橫向是中山路，縱向是中正路。其他以大陸地區命名....講不完，死板，專制，蔣家逃到台灣來，種種控制思維。
