The Call of Shouxian
April's early morning is picturesque, as the earth awakens gradually in the morning light...
The horizon, where the glow of dawn interweaves with the twilight, creates a dreamlike palette, like the overture of life being played across the land. Cloaked in the light of dawn, we leave the ancient city of Jinling by car, embarking on a journey to explore the brilliant splendor of the ancient city of Shouxian.
Shouxian, formerly known as Shouchun, Shouyang, and Shouzhou, is located at the southern foot of Bagong Mountain, on the banks of the Huai River, and beside the Fei River. Its long history and enduring culture seem to call out through time, guiding us towards the ancient city...
From afar, the ancient city walls that have stood for a thousand years are like an elderly person, steadfast through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, through cold and heat, always there, narrating to passersby the ancient tales of iron horses and golden spears, and the rise and fall of dynasties. Every brick and tile here seems to whisper those ancient histories, leading us into a world filled with mystery and legend...
Entering the Chu Culture Museum, the profound sense of history hits us. We listen quietly to the stirring stories that took place in the ancient city of Shouxian, touching our hearts, attempting to piece together fragments of 'Li Sao' and 'Nine Songs' from the relics. The unearthed artifacts, each a treasure, proclaim to the world the once-richness and prosperity of Shouxian. We dare not hope to share a toast with the 'King of Huainan', but we long to find the secret of making white jade tofu in the texts of 'Huainanzi', a quest for culinary culture exploration and pursuit.
Every inch of this land, every breeze is filled with dramatic stories.
