"砀" is a strange word, many people do not know its pronunciation, do not know its meaning. 砀 originally meant a patterned stone, and also meant "vast" and "sudden".
"Zhongshan", place name, Zhongshan County does not have much sense of existence, eighteen-tier cities, most people do not know the specific location of Yanshan County.
"Tozan pear", the famous pear of Theoyama pear, everyone knows. Since ancient times, the song "The pear is thin, the skin is thin, and it cannot be found when it falls to the ground", and it is the first pear in the world.
Tozan is famous for its pears, and is proud of its pears. The central square of the county town, called Ewha Square, everything in Tsuyama, tries its best to climb the crisp pear, even if it is a marathon.
Founded in 2016, the Zhongshan Marathon has no commercial title and is directly titled with the word "Pear Garden" to highlight the special status of "Pear Capital of the World".
1. Where is the mountain
Located in the northernmost part of Anhui Province, under the jurisdiction of Suzhou City, Zhongshan County is located at the junction of Suzhou, Anhui, Henan and Lu provinces, and is bordered by Feng County of Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Xiao County of Suzhou City, Anhui Province, Yongcheng City of Shangqiu City, Henan Province, and Shan County of Heze City, Shandong Province.
Isolated in the borders of Jiangsu, Shandong and Henan provinces, Anhui Is a rare county at the junction of four provinces in the country.
In terms of administrative divisions, it is subordinate to Suzhou City, Anhui Province, but it has closer contacts with the neighboring province of Xuzhou, because it is close to Xuzhou and farther away from Suzhou, and more importantly, Zhongshan was originally subordinate to Xuzhou, and was only transferred from Xuzhou City in Jiangsu Province to Suzhou City in Anhui Province in 1955.
2. Pass between the four provinces
In order to facilitate the management and flood control of Hongze Lake, in the 1950s, the state assigned xuyi and sihong counties belonging to Anhui province and close to Hongze Lake to Jiangsu Province. In exchange, Jiangsu Province assigned Zhongshan and Xiao Counties, which originally belonged to Xuzhou, to Anhui Province.
Previously, until the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Zhongshan had been under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou. In 1949, because Jiangsu Province had not yet been completely liberated, Xuzhou City was temporarily managed by Shandong Province, and in 1953 it was transferred to Jiangsu Province.
During the Qin Dynasty, Zhongshan was subordinate to Yan Commandery (砀郡). The seat of government of Yan County is the city of Shangqiu in eastern Henan Province. Broadly speaking, Zhongshan can be said to belong to Henan at the earliest.
It is one of the few counties located at the junction of four provinces, and it is also a rare county that was once under the jurisdiction of the four provinces of Henan, Suzhou, Lu and Anhui.
Today's Zhongshan people are from Anhui, and their fathers are either from Jiangsu or Shandong, but their ancestors are from Henan. The people of Zhongshan, I don't know which province it is!
Zhongshan, wandering between the four provinces, the crisp pear of the mountain, but the homeland is difficult to leave.
3. The world's first pear
In the surrounding areas of Zhongshan, and even throughout the country, the introduction of Lishan pear seedlings to cultivate and plant, but all of them are difficult to have the characteristics of the thin and juicy skin of the crisp pear of the Yanshan Real Estate, which is crispy in the mouth, delicate and slag-free, and the quality is far inferior to that of the Crispy Pear of the Zhongshan Estate.
During the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago, the crisp pear had formed a considerable scale and popularity, and the Ming Wanli and Qing Qianlong pears were listed as tributes.
The fame of the pineapple in the country stems from its own various advantages.
Excellent variety. The pear is a white pear strain with a large fruit, a pale yellow skin and a white flesh as white as jade.
Good soil. The soil is very conducive to the growth and development of the root system of the crisp pear, which is the reason why the crisp pear is crisp and sweet, the skin is thin and juicy.
Good climate. The mild climate of Zhongshan Mountain, abundant rainfall in summer, is conducive to the growth of fruits, and the warm days and nights in autumn are conducive to the increase in fruit sugar.
Technically sophisticated. Thousands of years of experience in planting crisp pears, unique seedling breeding, artificial pollination and other technologies, so that the quality of the pears to a higher level.
The scale of the pear is huge and has been industrialized. The pear trees in the county are forested, forming the largest contiguous orchard in the country and even in the world, and the output of crisp pears in The mountain ranks first in the country.
At present, the planting area of Zhongshan crisp pear has reached 30,000 hectares, with an output of 700 million kilograms, which is equally divided into more than 2 crisp pears per person in the country.
