Yangcheng is Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. The name of Yangcheng comes from the legend of "Five Sheep Holding Valley, Taken from Chuting". Around the Zhou Dynasty, Guangzhou suffered from famine year after year, with barren fields and poor agricultural harvest, which made people unable to eat and wear. One day, melodious music suddenly came from the sky in the South China Sea, and five colorful auspicious clouds appeared. There are five immortals in the sky, wearing colorful clothes and riding fairy sheep with different colors and ears of rice. They arrived in Guangzhou.

The immortal gave the good ears of rice to the people of Guangzhou and wished that there would never be a famine in this area. May the immortal fly away, and the five fairy sheep turn into stone sheep and stay on the hillside of Guangzhou. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in Lingnan, blessed by immortals, with fragrant ears of rice and a bumper harvest every year. This is the origin of the names of Wuyangcheng, Suicheng and Yangcheng in Guangzhou.
