Zhongxian County is located in the center of Chongqing Municipality, along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, in the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, and is an important birthplace of "Zhong Culture". Anciently known as Zhongzhou, the city was named after Yan Yan's spirit of loyalty and righteousness during the Three Kingdoms period, "I'd rather break my head than my will", and has a history of more than 1,400 years of city building. Shibaozhai, known as the "Pearl on the River", is the largest existing pierced-dipper structure in China and a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is also the hometown of citrus in China, and "Zhongzhou orange" is famous for its thin skin and tender flesh, juicy and sweet flavor; traditional food such as Zhongzhou bean curd milk and Fuling squash (part of the origin) carries the flavor of Bayu for thousands of years. In recent years, Zhong County has relied on the ecological resources of the Yangtze River to promote the integration of culture and tourism, making it a livable city in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area with both historical heritage and modern vitality.
Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.
