The study of local comprehensive historiography is a necessary supplement and realistic interpretation of the tradition of“grand narrative”.During the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties,the social,economic,and cultural central core of China began to shift to the regions south of the Yangtze River.It is of great historical value and practical significance to study this turning point.Under this context,local history also had multiple perspectives of“comprehensive historiography”which provide mature conditions for the study of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties.During this period,cities began to sprout up all over China,thus showing typical regional characteristics.The study of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties is different from the history of the Song Dynasty and has its own system.Its core is to study the changes and turns of China’s social economy,political system,and civilization inheritance in the period of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties in order to provide historical reference and reflection for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Based on the existing literature and archaeological research results,it is possible to depict the real scene of market transactions and technological evolution at that time in the perspective of interdisciplinary and comprehensive research to prepare for the opening of the system project of multidisciplinary research of the study of the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties.

Located in the downtown area of Ji’nan,Daming Lake is an important landmark of Ji’nan City,Shandong Province.This paper discusses the name change process of Daming Lake after conducting textual research of historical literature of Jinan.“Daming Lake”was not a commonly used name prior to the Yuan Dynasty;the“Daming Lake”in Commentary on the Water Classic is not the same lake as today’s Daming Lake;although it is same as the official name of the Ming Dynasty,the name of“Daming Lake”has nothing to do with it because it existed before the founding of the Ming Dynasty,so it was not renamed in the early Qing Dynasty.
