历史参考 · Historical

塔城,为纳西语“塔展”的意译。“塔展”是个古老的纳西语地名,元初史籍上写作“塔扎”。有两种解释:一是“塔展”村盛产柿子,纳西语称柿子为塔职,“塔展”是“塔职”的变音。二是纳西语“塔”指塔,“展”指城,塔展意为塔城,因该地四周有像塔一样的山峰围绕着村庄,犹如塔群中的城,故名(丽江县志第59页)
Tacheng is a free translation of Naxi "Tazhan". "Tazhan" is an ancient Naxi place name, written as "Tazha" in historical records of the early Yuan Dynasty. There are two explanations: first, "Tazhan" village abounds in persimmons; Naxi calls persimmon "Tazhi", and "Tazhan" is a sound change of "Tazhi". Second, in Naxi, "ta" means pagoda, "zhan" means city/town, so Tazhan means Pagoda City. Because the surrounding peaks resemble pagodas encircling the village, like a city among a cluster of pagodas, hence the name (Lijiang County Gazetteer p.59)
