#Shanghai Headlines #As a new Shanghainese, I have not been able to understand why Shanghai is also called "Shencheng" and "Shanghai"? The Information Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government explained that about 6,000 years ago, the western part of Shanghai was now a land. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it is said that Shanghai was once the fief of the Chu State Chun Shenjun, so Shanghai was not called "Shen". During the Jin Dynasty from the 4th to the 5th century AD, the local residents created a bamboo fishing tool and got the name "Hu (Shanghai)". Is Chun Shenjun the Same Chun Shen Jun Huang Xie in "The Legend of Mi Yue"? Then he was the biggest leader in Shanghai at that time, as if Songjiang or Minhang had a place of Chunshen, was it related to this Chunshen Jun? Henan Xinyang seems to be also called "Shencheng", I don't know if there is a relationship. Some people say that Shanghai used to be a fishing village, but there are records of the Jin Dynasty fishing tools and named "滬 (Shanghai)", indicating that Shanghai's history is still quite long. So how did the name "Shanghai" come about? When did it start calling "Shanghai"?
