When the county was established in 1941, there were two opinions on the county name. According to Chinese tradition, the south of the mountains is yang and the south of the river is yin. Since the newly built county is located south of the Sheyang River, some people suggested that this county should be called Sheyin County. Another opinion is that the word "Sheyin" is not elegant, so it is better to name it according to the river and call it "Sheyang". Therefore, when Sheyang was officially established as a county in 1942, it used the name of the ancient Hou Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago, which is essentially the name of "Sheyang River". It is called a young county and an ancient city name.
