Why is The Middle Kindom called "The Middle Kingdom?" PLEASE LIST SOURCES AND BE SERIOUS!?

Answer 1

China was a strong country throughout history, calling itself the "Middle" Kingdom. From an economic point of view, China was the world's major economy during the Middle Ages. It is estimated that on the eve of the Industrial Revolution China's output reached as high as half of the world's total and its per capita income was the world's highest. As the Industrial Revolution brought prosperity to Britain and other European nations, China's portion of the world's production shrank. Still, China's output accounted for one third of the world's total.

During the time between the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic, under the pressure of domestic problems and foreign conflicts, China went through a series of upheavals. Even so, by the eve of World War I, China's economic output was still 8% of the world's total.1 During the war-torn Republican period, the national economy was still able to maintain growth. Before the Sino-Japanese war, China's industry grew at an average annual rate of almost 10%. The success of the Northern Expedition brought China a period of stability; the decade of 1927 to 1936 saw the laying of China's national economic foundation.

Answer 2

Are you referring to Egypt or China?

In Egypt it's the time period between the Old Kingdom and New Kingdom, a historical time period.

In Chinese history, they called China the Middle Kingdom, because they considered themselves to be the center of pretty much everywhere. It also translates to "central states."

There are a couple of different usages of the term Middle Kingdom, but those are the two most common.
