Why Guangzhou is called Yangcheng
Guangzhou, located in the northern part of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province, is the largest city in South China and an important foreign trade and entry port in South China. Since ancient times, people call Guangzhou "sheep city". In fact, Guangzhou does not produce sheep. So, why is Guangzhou called "Yangcheng"?
According to legend, in the eighth year of the king of Zhou Yi, Guangzhou suffered from successive years of famine. One day, five immortals, dressed in five colored clothes and riding goats with different hair colors, came to Guangzhou with rice ears, and gave the best wishes to the people of Guangzhou, wishing them a good harvest, never hungry, and a happy and healthy family. After that, the immortals flew away, but the five Immortals remained in Guangzhou as stones. Since then, Guangzhou has become the richest place in the south of the five ridges. Later, in order to commemorate the five immortals, the five immortals temple was built in Guangzhou. There were statues of five immortals and five sheep in the hall.
