How did the city name "Shenzhen" come from?

Shenzhen

Place names first appeared in historical records in 14 10 (the eighth year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty) and were built in the early years of Qing Dynasty. The local dialect usually calls the ridge ditch "town" or "surge". Shenzhen is named for its dense Shui Ze and deep ditch beside the village.

Shenzhen is also called Pengcheng. What is Pengcheng? In Nan 'ao Town, more than 50 kilometers east of Shenzhen, there is a place called Pengcheng. Its gate is like Deshengmen in Beijing, but it is much smaller. The city wall has been eroded by wind and rain, and it is a dilapidated scene; Although this tower is not as magnificent as Shanhaiguan, it is still full of ancient flavor. When I entered the city gate, I saw the road paved with bluestone slabs. The bungalows on both sides are brick and wood structures, and the rafters exposed from the eaves are corrupt and look quite old. Local residents call this place the Queen Mother, also known as Dapeng, and this city is called Pengcheng. "Pengcheng" got its name.

Once upon a time, someone put the name Pengcheng on Shenzhen. Especially since the establishment of the Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen has undergone historic changes, and its comprehensive economic strength ranks among the top cities in China. This is a city full of vitality, bright development prospects and unlimited potential. The territory of Shenzhen is like Dapeng flying high, fighting the wind and waves, roaming the sky and going forward bravely. Therefore, Pengcheng is truly famous.
