Time and place of typhoon bamboo landing

According to the latest release of the Central Meteorological Observatory, typhoon mangosteen will enter the east of the South China Sea on the 15th in Luzon Island, Philippines, and approach the coastal area of Guangdong Province. Do you know how the typhoon came into being? Let's have a look at the time and location of typhoon mangosteen.

The activity of "mangosteen" alerted meteorological stations all over the country, and informed the typhoon to land in various ways, and reminded everyone to take precautions.

How typhoon formed

Typhoon originates from the tropical sea with higher temperature. At higher temperature, the evaporated sea water rises into the air, forming a low-pressure center. The air inside moves slowly, forming a vortex. As the temperature stays high, the air vortex will gradually strengthen, forming a typhoon.

According to the network records, typhoon has its own definition:

In 2006, Vol. 8, No. 2 Journal of scientific and technological terms research published Wang Cunzhong's "exploring the origin and naming principles of typhoon terms", in which the historical evolution of the term "typhoon" was discussed. The author thinks that in ancient times, people called Typhoon Hurricane, and only at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty began to use the name of "storm wind", as a general term of cold wave gale or non typhoon gale. By 1956, the storm was reduced to a typhoon.

There are two kinds of theories about the origin of typhoon. The first one is the "transyllabic theory", which includes three kinds: first, it evolved from the Cantonese "gale"; second, it evolved from the Minnan "Fengtai"; third, it was named after the character Taifeng typhoon in the Greek epic "history of theocracy" during the Dutch occupation of Taiwan. The second is the origin theory. Because Taiwan is located in the path of most typhoons in the Pacific and South China Sea, many typhoons enter the mainland through the Taiwan Strait, so they are called typhoons. Typhoon is a transliterated word. In English, typhoon is transliterated into English according to the Chinese Cantonese pronunciation toi Fong, and then into the Mandarin vocabulary.
