✅Lingbi-
Lingbi County, established in the first year of the Yuan You reign of the Northern Song Dynasty, is a renowned millennium-old county. Its name, meaning "mountains and rivers are spiritual and beautiful, and every stone is a jade," reflects its stunning natural beauty. This magical land, rich in history since the Neolithic period, is the birthplace of Chinese exotic stone culture, the ancient battlefield of the Chu-Han Contention, and the hometown of the mythical figure Zhong Kui. It's praised as "Exotic stones, Consort Yu, and Zhong Kui paintings, the three treasures of Lingbi, are the best in the world."
✅Lingbi Consort Yu Cultural Park-
The Battle of Gaixia, Ambush from Ten Sides, Besieged on All Sides, Farewell My Concubine... these classic stories unfolded in Lingbi. "My strength plucked up a mountain, my might shadowed the world. But times are against me, and my black horse will not gallop. My black horse will not gallop, what can I do? Yu, my Yu, what will become of you?" This death poem by Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, has been passed down through the ages.
