Monosyllabic Chinese County Names in English

 * I would prefer that we just add the monosyllable names of counties in China as entries- for instance Xi instead of Xi County or etc. That doesn't mean we can't have a Xixian too- that is equally as legitimate if there are three durably archived cites.
 * Per at Talk:Xi creating this list.
 * Here is the list of entries of monosyllable county names I've already made:
 * Cheng
 * Dan/Tan
 * Fan
 * Gu
 * Gui County
 * Ji
 * Jiang
 * Jiao GB 50011 2010 p.172
 * Pi-LlywelynII
 * Qi
 * Qin
 * Sui
 * Xi-- Merriam Webster dictionary has entries for one syllable Mandarin derived terms- https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/xi
 * Xia
 * Yan-LlywelynII
 * etc.


 * Huixian is a city

I believe these monosyllable names are no harder for English speakers to accept than Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing.
 * Here is the list of entries of monosyllable county names I've skipped (sickeningly passing on the disease of ambiguity on this issue to the next generation):
 * --Sui as Chu (Ju) in example @ Ningling
 * --Sui as Chu (Ju) in example @ Ningling
 * --Sui as Chu (Ju) in example @ Ningling
 * --Sui as Chu (Ju) in example @ Ningling
