Why is Shenyang called Shenyang?

Because Shenyang is located in the north of Shenshui (Hunhe River), it is called Shenyang according to China's traditional orientation theory, that is, it is cloudy in the north of the mountain and sunny in the north of the water.

The earliest time to build a city in Shenyang can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which has been more than 2,600 years. In the Western Han Dynasty, the "Houcheng" belonging to Liaodong County in the Han Dynasty was the beginning of the formal establishment of Shenyang. In the Tang Dynasty, "Houcheng" was renamed as "Shenzhou". 1296, the Yuan Dynasty changed Shenzhou to "Shenyang Road", and the name "Shenyang" officially appeared in historical materials, with a history of 720 years. ?

1625, the Qing Taizu Nuerhachi moved to Shenyang and began to build the Imperial Palace (now the Forbidden City in Shenyang). 1634, the Qing emperor Taizong renamed Shenyang "Shengjing". 1657, the Qing dynasty established Fengtianfu in Shenyang, which means "Fengtian traffic", which is the origin of Shenyang's alias "Fengtian". ?

After the Revolution of 1911, Shenyang became the capital ruled by Feng Zhi's warlords. 1923 The official establishment of the Fengtian Municipal Government made the urban organizational system appear for the first time in the history of Shenyang. After a period of time, Shenyang has been changing back and forth between the names "Fengtian" and "Shenyang". Until 1945, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression won, the northeast was restored, and "Fengtian City" was restored to the name of "Shenyang City".
