It is said that there is a scorpion spirit in Shenyang, which often harms people. When a Taoist priest passed by, he told the local officials that in Youshi, he killed 49 people who looked like chickens at a gate in the city and buried their heads in the soil three feet below the gate, so that the monster could be restrained. The local officials did as he said, and sure enough, scorpion essence never appeared in the city again. When the city gate was renovated after liberation, it was said that thousands of scorpions were dug up three feet underground.
Do you know the four pagodas in Shenyang? It is said that Shenyang City is supported by a big rock. I can't remember when it was. At that time, the local official invited a Taoist priest to watch the old earthquake, saying that Da Ao's limbs were moving, and four towers should be built on its limbs to hold down its limbs, so that there would be no more earthquakes in Shenyang. After the official repair of the four towers, the earthquake did not happen. However, it is said that during the Cultural Revolution, the building was demolished because it was dilapidated. Later, something bad happened, so I rebuilt it. Now the four pagodas in Shenyang were built later.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shenyang became a vassal state of Yan, and it was owned by the obedient Sushen family. In the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty established Hou County in present-day Shenyang, then Liaodong County, and then Xuantu County. Since the middle of the post-Han Dynasty, Shenyang has been regarded as Xuantu County and called Koguryo County. The remains of Han Dynasty that we saw in Shenyang Museum today came from the south bank of Hunhe River, about 10 km southeast of the urban area. It is speculated that this place may be ruled by the former Han Dynasty, the later main city county and the later Han Dynasty Tugong county. In the middle and late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xuantu County was owned by Houyan, and moved to Xianxing, North Korea. Shenyang was still called Koguryo County. In 407 AD, Beiyan destroyed the Houyan regime, Shenyang was taken by Beiyan, and Koguryo County was abolished. Since then, Shenyang has successively belonged to the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Tang Ruizong Jing Yun years (710-711), Shen Zhou was established in today's Shenyang area. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Shen Zhou was occupied by the newly rising Khitans. In the sixth year of Liao Taizu (92 1), Liao soldiers will set up Sanhe county on the north bank of Shenshui. Later it was changed to Lejiao County. It became the headquarters of Xingliao Army and Zhao Dejun in Shenzhou, and the address was near Shenyang today. During the Jin Dynasty, Shenyang was ruled by Shenzhou Xiande Army. At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, it was also called Shen Zhou. Later, because Shenzhou lived in the north of Shenshui, it was named after Shenyang Road in Shenzhou (in ancient times, Shuibei was Yang and Shuinan was Yin). There is an old legend about the origin of Shenyang. According to legend, at the foot of Shizuitou Mountain (now Zhushan Mountain) on the north bank of Shenshui, there lived a young man named Brother Shen. This year, the flooded water suddenly broke into waves and floods raged. It turned out that the three-headed dumpling of the diving dragon king was making waves. Brother Shen vowed to find Santou jiaozi and kill the people. At the right moment, Sister Yang, the third princess of the Dragon King of Dongmei, heard that her parents were betrothing herself to her cousin Shen Shuilong's three-headed dumpling, so she went to Shen Shuilong Palace behind her parents' back to personally observe her cousin's character. Unexpectedly, Santou jiaozi is having a "boys' banquet". Sister Yang's lungs were burning with anger, and she was determined to help Shen Dage get rid of the three-headed jiaozi. She took off her robes and put them on Shen Ge, saying, "Put them on and you can fly to the sky. If you want to move Sun Ge in the fire, only Sun Ge's fire can burn three jiaozi. " Shen Ge broke into the fire, and the sun made Shen Ge smoke, but Shen Ge gritted his teeth and ran away. Back in Shenshui, Santou Jiao was desperately dragging Sister Yang into the water, and Brother Shen quickly threw the sun. The three-headed dumpling was burnt to ashes by Brother Sun, but Brother Shen couldn't support it himself and fell into the river. Sister Yang saw it. Extremely anxious, shouted; "Shen Ge-"jump into the river to save him. But she forgot that her robes had been taken off for Brother Shen. The villagers searched Shenshui, but found no bodies of Brother Shen and Sister Yang, so they set up a monument on the north bank of Shenshui, engraved with the word "Shenyang". Later, villages and cities were built around this stone tablet, and this place was called Shenyang. Because it happened to be on the sunny side of Shenshui, later generations didn't know the story of the fight between Shen Ge and Yangmei, so they mistook "Shenyang" for "Shenyang".
