Pinghai boasts the ancient Pinghai City, hailed as a "living fossil" for studying the military history of Lingnan. It is the only relatively intact ancient fortress town remaining in the Lingnan region. The "military songs" passed down here are a marvel of Chinese linguistic art. Its temple culture, folk arts, and folk customs are unique, distinctive, and vibrant. Numerous cultural relics and historical sites, intertwined with beautiful natural scenery, make it an increasingly popular tourist destination. The Huizhou County Government has specifically issued the "Provisional Regulations on the Management of Pinghai Ancient City" to strengthen the protection, development, and utilization of this precious historical and cultural resource. This book aims to comprehensively and thoroughly introduce the overall situation of the historical and cultural city/town—Pinghai, hoping to inspire the construction of a cultural powerhouse in Guangdong and facilitate a deeper understanding of this historic city.
