Does anyone know where the cricket capital of China is?

Ningyang crickets have a long history and are well known, especially in Sidian Town. Cricket fighting in Ningyang began in Qin and Han Dynasties, flourished in Tang and Song Dynasties, and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since ancient times, it has been called "the best cricket fighting in the world", and it has been regarded as a tribute to the palace in all previous dynasties. Ningyang cricket fighting is famous at home and abroad for its big size, strong temperament, strong jumping ability, strong fighting capacity and fierceness. There are many varieties, including more than 260 species in six categories: green, yellow, purple, red, black and white. Rare species recorded in ancient genealogy include big black teeth, crab shell green, green hemp head, steel toe green back, amber green, blackhead golden red, purple yellow and so on. Guangxu accounted for nine. In the 1984 Tianjin Cricket Friendly Tournament, 1989 Shanghai Cricket Tournament, 1992 Shanghai-Tianjin Tournament and the annual national cricket friendly tournament, Ningyang beat the rest of the group to win the championship, which attracted great attention of cricket fans at home and abroad. Professor Wu Jichuan, director of the Institute of Insects of China Academy of Sciences and president of China Cricket Association, led experts to visit Ningyang many times, and confirmed that Yining, a calcareous cinnamon soil area in southern Shandong, is the breeding cradle and holy land of China crickets and the hometown of China cricket culture, and made special presentations in major newspapers and books at home and abroad. Every autumn, cricket fans at home and abroad gather in Ningyang to catch and snap up. It receives more than 60 thousand people every year, and the annual cricket transaction volume is more than tens of millions of yuan.

With the development of market economy, Ningyang County Party Committee and government attach great importance to the development, utilization and protection of cricket resources, regard cricket as a new economic growth point, and set up China Ningyang Cricket Research Institute to guide the development of cricket market. The cricket market has spread from the original Sidian Town Tucheng (the former site of Jianning Yangcheng in the first year of Emperor Gaozu) to more than 10 towns and villages such as county town, rural drinking, magnetic kiln, Fushan and Heshan, and 100 square kilometers. Crickets are exported to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and other countries and regions. In order to promote cricket culture in China, Ningyang County will hold the "China Cricket Friendship Competition" from September 6th to 9th every year. Taking the competition as the carrier, organizing a series of cultural activities such as "China Cricket Seminar", "Ningyang Famous Insect Expo" and "Taishan, Qufu, Liangshan and Shentong Mountain Tourism" is listed as one of the key projects of Taishan International Mountaineering Festival.
