Shouxian County, anciently known as Shouchun and Shouzhou, is located in the central part of Anhui Province, along the Huaihe River, and is a famous national historical and cultural city, as well as an excellent tourist city in China. As the last capital of Chu, this is the ancient battlefield of the Battle of the Interfluve, from which the allusion to "under the Bakong Mountain, the grass and trees are soldiers" originates. The existing ancient city wall of Shouchun was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, and is one of the most well-preserved ancient city walls in China.
