1958年2月11號，全國人大“通過咗《漢語拼音方案》。1978年8月，中國文字改革委員會、外交部、國家測繪總局、中國地名委員會等四個單位畀《關於改用中文拼音方案作為我國人名地名羅馬字母拼寫法的統一規範的報告》國務院，報告有提到“為了進一步貫徹執行周恩來總理關於中文拼音方案‘可以在對外檔、書報中音譯中國人名、地名’的指示，……。”1977年8月，共和國派代表團去希臘雅典度，參加咗聯合國第三屆地名標準化會議，共和國當局提出嘅“關於採用中文拼音方案作為中國地名羅馬字母拼寫法的國際標準的提案”喺會上根據“名從主人”嘅原則而畀通過咗。個報告喺當年9月28號不國務院批轉（國發192號）。中國大陸此後直頭用北方官話拼音“統一”曬大陸地方啲譯名，而未進行過必要嘅公眾諮詢、聽證呢啲，冇考慮過地方族羣嘅語言權利，一味搞官話拼音化，剩低拉薩、內蒙古、烏魯木齊、哈爾濱啲地方保留咗少數民族拉丁文轉寫方案。自此廣州對外正式英文畀人改成“Guangzhou”，粵拼地方名稱亦畀摧毀曬。時至今日，唔少西方國家仲會叫廣州做“Canton”。國際嘅航空、航海系統仲採用返“Canton”來縮寫“CAN”指代廣州。香港九廣鐵路（KCR），即營運九龍到廣州鐵路線香港段嘅公司（宜家係由港鐵營運），個英文名稱仲係“Kowloon-Canton Railway”。喺廣州本地，官方旅遊指南介紹本土文化度，用返嘅傳統詞彙冇幾個，得個粵菜“Cantonese Cuisine”、廣彩“Canton Enamel Ware”。啲啲係1979年前命名嘅、或者超過30年歷史嘅名詞譯名仲保留著“Canton”字樣，如廣交會（Canton Fair）同廣州大廈（Hotel Canton）呢啲。
On February 11, 1958, the National People's Congress passed the "Hanyu Pinyin Scheme". In August 1978, the Chinese Character Reform Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Administration of Surveying and Mapping, and the China Geographical Names Committee gave the State Council the "Report on Changing the Use of the Chinese Pinyin Scheme as the Unified Specification for the Spelling of the Roman Alphabet of China's Names and Place Names", and the report mentioned that in order to further implement Premier Zhou Enlai's instructions on the Chinese Pinyin Scheme can be trans Chinese literated in foreign documents, books and newspapers,......。 In August 1977, the Republic sent a delegation to Athens, Greece, to attend the Third United Nations Conference on the Standardization of Geographical Names, at which the proposal of the Republic authorities to adopt the Chinese Pinyin scheme as the international standard for the romanization of Chinese geographical names was adopted on the basis of the principle of the indignation of the name from the owner. The report was not approved by the State Council on September 28 of that year (Guo Fa No. 192). Since then, Chinese mainland has directly used the northern official dialect pinyin to "unify" some local translations of the mainland, without conducting the necessary public consultation and hearings, without considering the language rights of local ethnic groups, and only engaging in the pinyin of the official dialect, leaving Lhasa, Inner Mongolia, Urumqi, and Harbin to retain the Latin transcription scheme of ethnic minorities. Since then, Guangzhou's official English has been changed to Uranium, and the name of the Cantonese place has been destroyed. To this day, many Western countries still call Guangzhou to make meat Canton. The international aviation and navigation system also uses the abbreviation of Uranium Canton to refer to Guangzhou. The Hong Kong-Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR), the company that operates the Hong Kong section of the Kowloon-Canton Railway (now operated by the MTR), is still known as a wisp of Kowloon-Canton Railway uranium. In Guangzhou, there are few traditional words used in the official travel guide to introduce the local culture, such as Cantonese Cuisine uranium and Canton Enamel Ware Lin. This is a translation of a term named before 1979, perhaps more than 30 years old, that still retains the word "Canton" for the Canton Fair, as in the case of the Canton Fair and the Hotel Canton.
