Shénshuǐ

Shenshui was a county of the Liao and Jin dynasties in the country of western Liaoning. The Liao court established it in 1013 from the district known as Nühechuan. Under the Jin it came under Jinzhou and was briefly reduced to a town in 1143 before becoming a county again. Its history belongs to a frontier region where successive states reorganised settlements and their administration.
