Chungcheng

Chungcheng, Jhongjheng or Zhongzheng (Chinese: 中正) is the name of some places, roads, schools or organizations in Taiwan. It was derived from Chiang Chung-cheng, a given name of Chiang Kai-shek, thus when translating into English or other non-Chinese languages, it sometimes would be replaced by "Chiang Kai-shek" instead of simply by transliteration.

The romanization of "中正" in these names sometimes omitted the letter "g", or replaced the "u" with "o", or vice versa. And sometimes separated two syllables ("Zhong" and "zheng") by a hyphen or space. In Taiwanese Hokkien, it is pronounced as "Tiongjying" (Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-chèng). And the Hakka pronounced it as "Zúng-ziin" or "Zhùng-zhǐn".

In addition, some usages of "中正" in Chinese language are unrelated to Chiang Kai-shek, such as "zhongzheng" (中正), the name of a government official of the Nine-rank system in the imperial China. In the history of Japan, it also exist some usage of "中正", such as the "Chuuseikai" (中正会), these names were also unrelated to Chiang.
