What is the origin of "Shenyang"?

Legend has it that Nurhachi believed in "traditional geomantic omen". According to the instructions of Mr. Geomantic omen, he built the Niangniang Temple in the southwest corner of Tokyo at that time. Building Mituo Temple at the East Gate; Thousands of Buddhist temples were built at the foot of Fengling Mountain, and three temples were used to hold dragons to protect the kingship of Long Mai.

However, the Three Temples only suppressed the dragon head, the dragon claw and the dragon tail, but the dragon backbone in the city was not suppressed. So the dragon bent over and flew away, flying north to the north bank of Hunhe River.

Nurhachi believed that the dragon was an act of God and ordered him to build a new city in front of the dragon, so a new city sprang up and was named "Fengtian".

Because Hunhe River was called Shenshui in ancient times, the law of Yin and Yang in geomantic omen is: the south of the mountain is Yang, the north is Yin, the south of the water is Yin, and the north is Yang. Because the city is located in the north of Shenshui, it is named "Shenyang" according to Feng Shui.
