The reason why it is Chungcheongbuk-do and Chungcheongnam-do and not Chungcheongjwa-do and Chungcheong-udo.jpg

Chungcheong-do is clearly east and west on the map.

Surprisingly, Chungjwa and Chungwoo were correct until the Joseon Dynasty!

However, in 1896, Chungcheongnam-do became Chungcheongbuk-do by official law.

So why?
