- 1平壤（北韓首都；中國大陸較常說朝鮮）
Pyongyang is the capital of North Korea. It sits on the Taedong River, in the southwest of the country. English maps and news still use this spelling; it comes from an older way of writing Korean sounds called McCune–Reischauer (P'yŏngyang), then the marks were dropped. The Korean name is 평양, a Sino-Korean word written 平壤, which literally means flat land — the city stands on a plain. People in Taiwan say 平壤, and they say 北韓 for the country. Seoul is the capital of South Korea; students mix the two. It is often called Korea's oldest city, though the wide streets and big monuments you see in photos now are mostly modern and planned by the state. In English news, Pyongyang can also stand for the North Korean government, the way people say Washington for the US government.
組成Borrowed from Korean 평양 (Pyeong'yang), literally 'flat land', from the McCune–Reischauer spelling P'yŏngyang. It is a Sino-Korean name from the characters 平壤.
