The History and Culture of Shouxian Ancient City
Shouxian County is located in the middle of Anhui Province, which controls the Huaihe River. Since ancient times, the north and the south have been at a crossroads, where military strategists have repeatedly competed. In 383 A.D., there was a battle to fight gold and fly water here. This war once again created a war example in China's military history, and left many historical stories such as "stopping the flow and flogging", "trembling and nervous". During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the late Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty fought fiercely for Shouchun. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin, a general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, made personal expedition with Zhou Shizong and Chai Rong, surrounded Shouzhou and made outstanding achievements. Today, the story of "Zhao Kuangyin trapped in Nantang" is still circulating among the people in Huai and Huai Dynasties, and the story of "Great Rescue" of Shouxian traditional fine cakes, which won the ministerial prize, comes from every possible means.
