Content from merged Mudan District article
editThe following text appeared in the Understand section of the Mudan District article before I merged it with the Heze article:
"Mudan District is the main urban area of the city center of Heze. It is a famous Chinese peony capital and the hometown of calligraphy and painting, opera, folk art, martial arts, and folk art. Peony is the characteristic industry of Mudan District. It has nine color systems, ten flower shapes, and 1,237 varieties. It is the world's largest peony cultivation, appreciation, research and development, and seedling export base. Mudan District is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. It is said to be the hometown of Fuxi and the hometown of Yao and Shun. It is known as the "center of the world." During the Warring States Period, Sun Bin created a glorious battle example of "Besieging Wei to Save Zhao" here; Huang Chao raised the banner of justice from here and embarked on the journey to overthrow the Tang Dynasty; Liu Deng's army launched the Southwest Shandong Campaign here. This is also the hometown of Zhao Dengyu, a famous anti-Japanese general, and He Siyuan, a famous patriot. Mudan District has successfully created a national safe community. It is a national advanced district in scientific and technological progress, grain production, and employment services, and the second batch of pilot areas for returning to hometowns to start businesses. It is also an advanced county in Shandong Province in terms of spiritual civilization, social culture, basic education, and social security, a provincial civilized district, and one of the top ten counties (cities, districts) with the most competitive county economy in Shandong Province."
