China-Changnan Etymology Myth / China源于昌南说

China-Changnan Etymology Myth / China源于昌南说 is the local-origin story discussed and rejected in No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode says Jingdezhen locals often connect “China” to the old name Changnan, but the timing is weak because related terms appear earlier through ancient India, Central Asia, and Persian transmission.

The concept matters as an evidence caution inside Material History Narrative. A place can be globally important without every memorable etymology being true; the source contrasts the weak Changnan claim with the stronger Kaolin / 高岭土 derivation from [[GaolingVillage|高岭村]].

Connections

• Jingdezhen / 景德镇 - city associated with the local etymology.
• Kaolin / 高岭土 and Gaoling Village / 高岭村 - stronger material-vocabulary case.
• Material History Narrative - broader object and origin-story frame.
• China - country name involved in the disputed claim.
