Vives-Eaux, also known by its Huranian name of Chunshui or by its ancient name of Primevoire d'Aix is the capital city of Shang Fa and its most populated city. Originally a simple fishermen town, the agglomeration' location near the mouth of the Queen River, the largest and longest waterway of Hurania, made it the focus of attention from Auressian, and more importantly Blaykish, traders in the 16th century, quickly developing the town into a trade port and the hub between the Lin Dynasty and Auressia.
After the establishment of the Tan Dynasty and the colonial wars in the Sea of Qes, Chenshui became a de-facto Blaykish and Principean city, with many factories exporting lacquerware, silk, and manufactured products to the rest of the Blaykish Empire, in exchange for spices, luxury goods, and precious metals from the new world.
As such, after the creation of the Great Covenant, Vives-Eaux was naturally chosen as the location of the Megodoquole, the council of representatives from every Principean colony and factory in northern Huran. The Megodoquole would continue to amass power until the Social War (1861 - 1870) which led to the establishment of the Fa Dynasty. Vives-Eaux remained the capital of the new regime, securing its position as the new heart of the region for the centuries to come.
Etymology
Chūnshuǐ is the official romanization of the Huranian name 春水. The name of the city seems to come from the ancient names of two plots of farmlands that were originally turned into the city' first meeting place : the Spring and Autumn Fields. A system of canals and waterways connected this place to the Queen River on the "Spring side" of the plaza, and it's around these waterways that most of the city would end up developing, taking the name of the canal network : "Spring waters".
The city was first known to the Principeans traders as Chounsouhaye as a litteral retranscription of the Huranian name. But as more and more settlers arrived in the trade port, they began translating more directly the Huranian characters and began using Aix-Primevoire-en-Ourane in an official capacity, then shortened into Aix Primevoire or Primevoire d'Aix. But already, in the more popular districts of the city, the habit had settled of calling it Vivedaix or, alternatively, Vives-Eaux. It's finally this second spelling that would win, and the city would be officially renamed to it after Armand Dupic coronation as King Hegemon in an effort to rectify names across the kingdom.
