The Origin of Zhangzhou in Fu County of Northern Shaanxi Province

According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty, the emperor sent generals to the border to build cities, and the generals planted flags to choose the foundation. At this moment, a yellow deer suddenly ran down from the mountain. The deer ran to the flag, took all the flags away and put them back in another place, just in the shape of a square. The general reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor thought it was a symbol of good luck, so he ordered the city to be built on the spot. So there is the word "Fu", which is an pictographic character, which roughly means that the deer takes the flag. This place was named Zhangzhou, which was later Fuxian, so you can see a huge deer statue with flags when you first enter Fuxian.
