TRACING THE ROOTS

The city region now known as Shenyang was earlier identified as Mukden. The literal meaning of the word Shenyang is ‘the city to the north of Shen River’ or ‘submerged light’. Shenyang was also once upon a time known as Shengjing or Fengtian Prefecture.

Qin Kai, a General of Yan in the Warring States period about 300 BCE, first set up the City of Shenyang. The city was initially named Hou City (候城). Then, it was named Shen Prefecture (渖州) in the Jin dynasty regime, Shenyang Circuit ( 渖阳路) in the Yuan Dynasty and Shenyang Zhongwei (渖阳中卫) during the Ming Dynasty phase. Nurhaci, the Manchu leader captured Shenyang in 1625 and made it his capital. In 1634, the name was changed to Shengjing or Mukden. Under Nurhaci’s orders in 1626, the Imperial Palace was made the representative center of Shenyang. It has over 300 flamboyantly decorated rooms and 20 gardens symbolizing authority and magnificence.

Since the 1920s, the focus here has been on heavy industries like defense equipment, aerospace, and machine tools and during the 1970s, the city was regarded as one of the top three industrial centres in China along with Shanghai and Tianjin. But after the 1980s, the heavy industry sector suffered a set back and it declined gradually. However due to the Chinese Government’s “Revitalize Northeast China” campaign, the economy has picked up momentum and of late emphasis has been laid on software, electronics and auto manufacture industries.
