Shenyang is a famous historical and cultural city. It is named because it is located in the north of Gushui (a tributary of Hunhe River). China used to call Shuibei Yang in ancient times, hence the name Shenyang. Shenyang is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, which gave birth to the early culture of the Liaohe River Basin. According to the textual research of Xinle site, human beings lived here in the Neolithic Age 7200 years ago. Before the Zhou Dynasty, it belonged to Yingzhou, and during the Warring States Period it belonged to Liaodong County. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was called Houcheng; in the Liao Dynasty, Shen Zhou was built, and the city walls were rammed with earth. This is the unhealthy trend of building a city in Shenyang. The Jin dynasty followed the name of Shenyang, and the Yuan dynasty rebuilt the city wall and renamed it Shenyang Road.
Shenyang is known as "one birthplace, two generations of imperial capital". 1625, the capital of Houjin, which was established by Qing Taizu, moved here and was renamed Shengjing. 1636, Huang taiji changed his country name to "Qing" and established the Qing Dynasty. 1644, after the Qing army entered Beijing as its capital, Shengjing was its capital. Shenyang Imperial Palace is the seat of the Imperial Palace in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is one of the only two complete palace buildings in People's Republic of China (PRC).
