Nanwu Cheng was an ancient walled town built in the northern section of present-day Guangzhou during the Spring and Autumn (Chunqiu) period (770–476 bce). Between 339 and 329 bce, the town was rebuilt and expanded, subsequently becoming known as Wuyang Cheng, or the "City of Five Goats," a name derived from a local legend involving gods who descended from heaven on five goats to save the city from famine.1
