In particular, the urban area of ??Liaocheng has the unique characteristics of "Jiangbei Water City". Chen Yunhe wrote in a poem that "water nourishes poetry, poetry nourishes the city, the city nourishes the scenery, and the scenery nourishes people". This is why this city is known as the "Venice of Northern China".
Liaocheng is also known as the "Phoenix City" because the location and layout of the ancient city pool in Liaocheng resembles a phoenix, so it is known as the "Phoenix City".
There is another legend about this: Legend has it that the Liaocheng area was originally a sycamore forest, where a pair of phoenixes lived, commanding the birds in the forest, and living a happy life.
One year there was a flood, and an evil dragon from the East China Sea came here and drove away the phoenix, turning the area into a vast ocean. People called it Dongzhou Lake.
Seeing the rippling waves of the lake, the lush forests and flowers, and the beautiful scenery, the local officials wanted to build a city by the lake. However, the craftsmen felt that the project was difficult and did not dare to undertake it.
At this time, two people came, one named Wang Dong and the other Wang Chang, who volunteered to undertake the construction.
It turns out that these two people are the sons of the pair of phoenixes who were driven away by the evil dragon.
When Wang Dong and Wang Chang built the city, Phoenix led hundreds of birds to bring wood and stone materials. Soon, a majestic lake city was built.
In order to commemorate Phoenix's achievements in building the city, people named the city Phoenix City.
Later, the evil dragon from the East China Sea made trouble again and attempted to destroy the new city.
At this time, Wang Dong and Wang Chang fought against the evil dragon.
The evil dragon fled to the East China Sea, dug out a water channel, and diverted sea water to flood the city.
In order to save the people of Phoenix City, brothers Wang Dong and Wang Chang got into the water and blocked the waterway with their bodies.
In order to thank the two brothers for their noble character of protecting the city and saving the people, people changed the name of Phoenix City to Dongchang.
