This study aims to examine the cultural traditions, historical experiences, and political symbolism reflected in the naming systems of China’s aerospace development. China’s aerospace endeavors extend beyond mere technological exploration; through carefully crafted naming strategies, they uniquely integrate traditional Chinese culture with modern technological advancement, conveying profound cultural meanings and political messages. Firstly, from the perspective of Chinese mythology and traditional philosophical thought, this paper analyzes the cultural symbolism embedded in aerospace names such as “Tiangong,” “Shenzhou,” “Chang’e,” “Yutu,” and “Zhurong.” It explores how these traditional elements combine with modern technologies to strengthen the cultural identity and national pride of the Chinese public regarding their country’s aerospace achievements. Secondly, this paper delves into the historical experiences and political implications embodied in the naming of the “Long March” series rockets and the “Dongfanghong” satellite, illustrating how these naming strategies effectively preserve China’s revolutionary history and emphasize socialist ideology and national political symbolism. Finally, this study suggests that the cultural and political dimensions of China’s aerospace naming strategies have successfully enhanced domestic cohesion and shaped China’s distinctive aerospace image on the international stage.
