Jianye

Jianye is a pinyin transcription used for several Chinese names, typically written with characters such as 建邺 or 建业. The name can denote geographic areas or organizations and is encountered in various contexts in China. The two most widely recognized uses are: Jianye District, an urban district of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China; and Henan Jianye Football Club, a professional association football club based in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China. The district Jianye (建邺区) lies within the city of Nanjing and forms part of its urban core, while the football club (河南建业足球俱乐部) has competed in China's top leagues, including the Chinese Super League and China League One. Beyond these, the characters are used in other corporate or place names in China, reflecting the commonality of the elements meaning "build" or "establish" and, in some cases, a historic place name such as Ye (邺).
