宿县, Historical district in Anhui Province, China

The area encompasses 9,939 square kilometers of land at the intersection of four provinces: Anhui, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Henan.

The district traces its origins to the Spring and Autumn period when it served as a postal station known as the State of Su.

The region contributed to Chinese literature through poets Li Bai and Han Yu, who resided in the area during their literary careers.

The district contains 70 waterways, including the Huaihong, Kuisui, and Xinbian rivers, which support agricultural activities throughout the region.

Pearl Buck used this region as the setting for her Nobel Prize-winning novel The Good Earth, incorporating local dialect into the narrative.
