A Study on the Chinese and Romanized Street Names of Old Shanghai

Apart from an appropriate reply to the questions raised by the author of Recorrection of the Errors Corrected in the Study of Street Names of Old Shanghai, this paper insists that, in the study of street names, just like that of any other part of history, it is harmful to employ the deductive method or to echo the views of others, and by producing part of the original bilingual booklet of the street names of old Shanghai, further stresses that the historical facts are the sole believable evidence and that a scientific attitude based on facts must be adopted with regard to the study of street or road names.
