Abstract: For historical, realistic and academic reasons, as one of the three major armed uprisings on the revolutionary bases of Hubei-Henan-Anhui, Shangcheng Uprising has different titles such as "Start of Summer Festival Uprising", "Shangnan Uprising" and "Shangnan Riot". Considering the political, historical, cultural and customary factors of naming the revolutionary struggle led by the Communist Party of China after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shangcheng Uprising should be the proper name of this historical event.
