At the same time, due to the fact that Manchu stopped in the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Shenyang and other places absorbed the advantages of Shandong cuisine and Beijing cuisine on the basis of Manchu cuisine, and developed Northeast cuisine.

The reason for building the capital
1625, the Qing emperor Nurhachi moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang and began to build a palace in Shenyang (now the Forbidden City in Shenyang).
1634, the Qing emperor Taizong renamed Shenyang "Shengjing".
1644, after the Qing dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, Shenyang was its capital.
Because Manchu people tend to mainly graze and have a heavy taste, and most of them are mainly beef and mutton, the taste of Shenyang has also become very heavy. Compared with southern cuisine, northeast cuisine can be called bold and unrestrained, and its taste is much heavier.
Personality reasons
From the character analysis of the northeast people, the northeast people are very careless and generous, so they should eat boldly and have a heavy taste.
