Today, I want to introduce to you a dreamy, colorful, exquisite and mysterious, but also set the history and traditional culture, the red revolutionary culture in one, known as "red blessed land, green cave sky" reputation of the longevity of the town - Liangdang County.
Although Liangdang County is located in Gansu, it is incompatible with the main tone of Gansu in the impression of drought and desolation, because its forest coverage rate has exceeded 80%, the vegetation coverage rate is more than 90%, and the negative oxygen ion content ranks before the 20th in the country, it is a veritable deep-breathing town, a green city, and one of the most livable counties in China.

In addition, it is also a historical and cultural city.
Because this was the source of the first shot of the Gansu Red Revolution, it was the birthplace of the genealogy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher Wang Xi, it was also the cultivation place of the mythical figure Zhang Guolao, and it was the hometown of the famous longevity.
In 1935, under the leadership of Wu Huanxian, Cheng Zihua, and Xu Haidong, the Red 25th Army went to The county seat of Liangdang, where it not only executed reactionary officers for justice, but also released and saved the people who were imprisoned and persecuted, so that the red banner of the revolution flew high here from then on.

In 1932, Xu Tianjie, Liu Linpu and other revolutionaries of the older generation launched the famous "Two Dang Mutinies" here, pulling up the first revolutionary contingent in Gansu and firing the first shot of the revolutionary armed struggle in Gansu. It is worth mentioning that the new era of combat hero Chen Hongjun martyrs have also been nurtured here, the people of the county have advocated the army and martial arts, and the armed work has achieved no retreat for 54 consecutive years, which is the only good achievement in the country.
In 1991, a "Genealogy of the Wang Clan" was found in the village of Sun Workstation shop in the north of the county, which was identified by experts as the genealogy of Wang Xi's family sent here by his people from Yanling County, Henan Province, after Wang Xizhi was degraded in 1818 AD, and was later determined to be a national second-class cultural relics and collected in the county cultural center.

In addition, it is also the place of practice of Zhang Guolao, a mythical figure who is listed in the Xianban class by the tang dynasty historical and cultural celebrities and ordinary people, which is included in the "New Book of Tang Dynasty And Art Literature", "Immortal Tao Spirit Medicine Sutra", "Dansha Recipe", "Jade Cave Great God Dansha True Recipe", etc., which are the works passed down by Zhang Guolao during his practice here.
Therefore, whenever people mention the small city of Liangdang, most of them will use the words "red blessed land, green cave sky" to describe it. Perhaps it is for this reason that people here generally live long. It is understood that in Yunping alone, a small town with a population of less than 3,000, there are currently more than 20 long-lived elderly people over 100 years old.

Health and longevity is almost everyone's dream, especially when the haze of the new crown is about to dissipate, people have a new understanding of health, and the arrival of the era of national health is no longer empty talk.
In this best season, more than 500 people from the top experts and scholars in the national bee industry, as well as news media and self-media suddenly gathered here to participate in the Sixth National Bee Industry Development Conference and Bee Products Expo. And their original intention is precisely for such a dream, to do a sweet cause related to the health of all mankind here.
As the organizer of The Two Dang Counties, can they reproduce the glory of the past, and what kind of answer sheet can they hand over to this grand meeting and to the people of the whole country?

There are 144 kinds of honey source plants in Liangdang County, of which "Liangdang Wolf Tooth Honey" is a national geographical indication protection product, known as the "hometown of wolf tooth honey", and is also the first honey in China to pass the national geographical indication protection certification.
Perhaps, this is the key to their dream of longevity, let's wait and see!
