The ancient city of Shouxian is located in Huainan, Anhui, where the ancient city walls are relatively well preserved.
Historically, Shou County has been a county 10 times and a capital city 4 times. Since the king of Chu Kaolie moved the capital here, it has repeatedly been the seat of state and county administration, during the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shou County was the economic and cultural center of the south, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ancient city was repaired and sorted out, and the scale of the city wall was relatively large.
The history of ShouXian, 100 years earlier than the ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi, is an ancient city with a long history that deserves its name!
The current city wall of Shou County was built during the Southern Song Dynasty, with a circumference of more than 7,000 meters and four gates. In addition to the city gates, the city walls also have a defensive urn.
ShouXian has been a major transportation route since ancient times, and this is a famous place where soldiers and families must fight in history, and the well-known Battle of Shuishui occurred in Shouxian County.
About Shou County, there is much more to it.
The tofu we eat every day was born in the Bagong Mountains in Shou County. Liu An, the king of Huainan, was refining Dan Medicine at the foot of Bagong Mountain when he accidentally made the delicacy of tofu.
It can be said that Shou County is the hometown of tofu!
