Legend has it that there is a favorite teenager among the residents of Houyi. He is kind, honest and diligent. He gets up early and gets greedy every day, and collects firewood in the mountains all day. When he gets too much firewood, he gives it to people in trouble. One day, when he was chopping wood, he suddenly heard a piercing cry. He looked in the direction of the cry and saw a wolf staring at a gazelle. The gazelle is entangled in vines in the grass and can't jump out. Seeing that the evil wolf was about to pounce, the kind boy flew over, raised the firewood knife and cut it at the evil wolf. The wolf had his ear cut off and ran away howling. The teenager rescued the gazelle from the vine and said innocently to the gazelle, "Be careful in the future, little fellow, and go home quickly!" " "The gazelle seemed to understand what he said, and stood opposite and looked at him and refused to leave. Seeing that the gazelle refused to go, he raised his hand and patted the sheep's head and said, "Let's go! "I went home with firewood on my back.
After that, the teenager went to chop wood every day. One day, just as the sun rose, he heard the chirping of antelope again. He looked up and saw an antelope and two young antelopes chirping at the sun. He thought some wild animals were going to kill these tame antelopes, but he looked around and found nothing, so he didn't disturb the three antelopes. That night, he had a strange dream that he met three antelopes in the Woods. The old antelope thanked him and said that the people here are very kind and will be rewarded. He asked the antelope in surprise, "How can you talk?" The old antelope didn't hear what he said and led two young antelopes to the forest. He growled, "How can you talk?" Suddenly he woke up in a hurry. He felt very strange, so he told his family about the dream and saving the gazelle, and gradually the whole city knew about it. One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and the more it spread, the stranger it became. Strange to say, since then, this place has been a good weather for several years. Someone attached it: Three antelopes called the sun "three sheep open Thailand", which is a good omen, and called the antelope "holy sheep". They also proposed that the back city be renamed as "Holy Yangcheng", and the back city was gradually replaced by the "Holy Yangcheng" recognized by the people. Because "God Sheep" is homophonic with Shenyang, there is a Shenyang Wei in the north of Shenshui, so "God Sheep City" is called Shenyang City.
