Everyone says that Huainan people love beef soup, but in fact, in addition to beef soup, they are also serious about tofu. Along with the tofu festival that just passed, Huainan, this historic ancient city, it is time to be well talked about.

So far, Huainan and Taiwan have contributed 20 Chinese Tofu Culture Festivals to the world, developed more than 1,000 tofu dishes, and paid outstanding wisdom for the promotion of tofu culture.
In Huainan, soy products are also the finishing touch to meals. The most famous beef soup, what makes each bowl special, is the soy products added to it.

Shou County, tofu A world
Foreigners eat tofu in Huainan, and Huainan people eat tofu in ShouXian County.
There are tofu production all over the country, but why is the tofu in Bagong mountain in Shou County dominant?
The reason is the high-quality water quality created by the natural geographical conditions here and the tofu making techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. The tofu pointed out with high-quality mineral waters such as "Agate Spring", "Pearl Spring" and "Big Spring" is as fine as fat and as white as jade, and has a rich taste.

Shou County, Huainan City, ancient name Shouchun, has been the capital 4 times in history and the county 10 times, and is the hometown of Chu culture. Because of its high-quality water and soil and unique geographical conditions, since ancient times, it has been a place where the north and south should be rushed and the soldiers must compete.

The origin of Shouchun began during the Warring States period when the Chu state moved its capital here, and showed its location importance in the great chaos of the world. When the north and south confront each other, the Huai River line often becomes the dividing line after the balance of the offensive balance of the north and the south.
Map of the Battle of Shuishui Picture from the Internet
According to the Records of the Book of Jin and Jian Jian, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after the Former Qin Emperor Jian jian unified the northern forces, he launched a large-scale attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Chen soldiers were hundreds of thousands of troops on the line with Shouchun. In the famous Battle of Shuishui, it was won by the Eastern Jin Dynasty with fewer victories, leaving an allusion of "on the Bagong Mountain, the grass and trees are soldiers".
The Battle of Shuishui ended in a comprehensive victory for the Jin army. Later, the idiom of grass and trees is used to describe people who are suspicious of ghosts when they are panicked.
During the war, the fortitude and difficulty of Shouchun City were also reflected.
In the late Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Later Zhou's army attacked Shouchun under Southern Tang control and did not take it for more than a year. The ancient city of Shouxian, which has been preserved in the long river of history, has also become one of the seven ancient city walls with relatively complete preservation in China.

Agricultural civilization and industrial civilization blended and stirred here, melting into the sparkling Huainan. The unique geographical conditions have also created the title of Huainan Energy Capital.

The sedimentary environment of crustal activity and sea-land interaction provides good conditions for the generation of coal resources, thus forming a large number of coal resources in the territory.
Here, 50% of the coal reserves in East China and 74% of the reserves in Anhui Province are concentrated here; as of the end of 2017, the total power generation was 285.7 billion kWh, and the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation was 1,000 MW.

Why is such an excellent city always blessed to be among the first line? This may be a question that the new generation of builders in Huainan should think about, after all, the energy accumulated in this city cannot be underestimated.
On December 30, 2015, the "Implementation Opinions of the Cpc Anhui Provincial Committee and the People's Government of Anhui Province on Adjusting Some Administrative Divisions of Huainan City, Lu'an City, Tongling City, Anqing City" was issued: "Shou County of Lu'an City will be placed under the jurisdiction of Huainan City. "This marks that Shou County and even Huainan City have embarked on a new starting point for construction and development."

Through three years, Shou County has moved from a state-level poverty-stricken county to the first phalanx of the province's county economy.
Through the new policies of e-commerce and Internet + and the construction of poverty alleviation projects, Huainan has won development with hard work.

This young and ancient city is rich in cultural and industrial heritage. The softness of tofu, the fierceness of coal power, and the length of idioms have made Huainan, which has rich roots, harmonious yin and yang for thousands of years. Transformation, upgrading and development as the yeast of the times will also brew the most aromatic wine for the future of Huainan.
I believe that in the future, this city will go more and more steadily and run faster and faster through hard work.
