Fuyang's pillow bun has a long history, it is said that in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the "Battle of Shunchang", the people in order to support the Song army to resist the Jin, they brought the big bun into the city, the Song army issued one per person, when hungry as food, cut down a piece of hunger, when sleepy as a pillow pillow, so it is also called pillow bun. Gelatiao originated around the 1980s, in Fuyang "stirring" the dialect is "ge la", and this kind of noodle-like food needs to be mixed with noodles and various ingredients to eat evenly, so it is called "Gela noodles".

A gust of autumn wind blew through, and the eyes were full of golden flakes floating down, painting a picture of autumn colors. This is the autumn view of Shouxian Bao'en Zen Temple. It is located in Shou County, Huainan City.

When it was built, two ginkgo trees were planted here, and they are still thriving today. They have also been watching each other for thousands of years.
Outside the temple, many shops on the roadside are lined with red billboards that read "Big Rescue". What is this? Only when I went forward to inquire did I know that the big rescue drive is a characteristic famous spot in Shou County, Anhui Province, which has a history of more than a thousand years. In 956, Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou marched on Huainan and ordered the general Zhao Kuangyin to lead an army to attack southern Tang (present-day Shou County). The Southern Tang defenders swore to resist to the death, the battle was fierce, Zhao Kuangyin could not attack for a long time, and almost missed the military plane. As a result, there was a shortage of grain, and later it was this oily bread that saved him, so he was called "Great Rescue Driver" (Rescue Drive: refers to saving the emperor and the king).

In a hurry, he came to Shou County, took away the vicissitudes of a city, and was also deeply impressed by the story of the big rescue.
