What is the origin of the city "Shenyang"?
Legend has it that Nurhachi believed deeply in "traditional Feng Shui". Following the instructions of Mr. Feng Shui, he built the Empress Temple in the southwest corner of Tokyo at that time, the Amitabha Temple in the east gate, and the Thousand Buddha Temple at the foot of Fengling Mountain. , wanted to use three temples to suppress the dragon in order to preserve the kingly energy of the dragon's veins.
However, the three temples only suppressed the dragon's head, claws and tail, and the dragon's spine in the city was not suppressed. So as soon as the dragon arched its waist, it was about to fly away, flying north to the north bank of the Hun River.
Nurhaci thought that Long was the will of Fengtian and ordered him to build another city in the place where Long lurked. So a new city was built and named "Fengtian".
And because Hunhe River was called Shenshui in ancient times, the yin and yang regulations in Feng Shui are: the south of the mountain is yang, the north is yin, the south of the water is yin, and the north is yang. Because this city is located to the north of Shenshui, Therefore, according to Feng Shui theory, the city was named "Shenyang".
