The historical local chronicles of Chongqing during the Ming and Qing dynasties as well as the Republic of China period valued both history and geography while also emphasizing humanities. The generic toponym characters best indicate the geographical type to which individual toponym belongs, and accommodates the changes in natural and social characteristics of the southwest region in China. The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Characters is an authoritative large-scale Chinese language dictionary, serving as a bridge between national language norms and the reality of people’s spoken language. It focuses on reflecting the origin, evolution, and actual usage of toponymic characters, but has quite limited absorption and utilization of toponymic materials from local chronicles. In order to investigate the lexicological value of local chronicles, this article uses the historical local chronicles of Chongqing to supplement the pronunciation, explaination, use cases, and inter-character relationships of the generic toponym characters compiled in The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Characters.
