'''Pizhou''' ({{lang-zh|s=邳州 |p=Pīzhōu}}) is a [county-level city](/source/county-level_city) under the administration of [Xuzhou](/source/Xuzhou), [Jiangsu](/source/Jiangsu) province, China. As of 2020 it had a population of 1,462,563;[{{Cite web |title=Pīzhōu Shì (County-level City, China) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/china/jiangsu/admin/x%C3%BAzh%C5%8Du_sh%C3%AC/320382__p%C4%ABzh%C5%8Du_sh%C3%AC/ |access-date=2024-11-20 |website=www.citypopulation.de}}] it borders the [Shandong](/source/Shandong) [prefecture-level cities](/source/prefecture-level_cities) of [Linyi](/source/Linyi) to the northeast and [Zaozhuang](/source/Zaozhuang) to the northwest.
==History==
The city was formerly called Pi County ({{lang-zh|s=邳县 |t=邳縣 |labels=no}}), and before that, Xiapi ({{lang-zh|c=下邳 |labels=no}}) which was at one time the capital of the [Zhou dynasty](/source/Zhou_dynasty) (1046–256 BCE) vassal [State of Pi](/source/Pi_(state)). During the [Han dynasty](/source/Han_dynasty) (206 BCE–220 CE), Pi was a famous city. At the time of the Eastern Han and [Three Kingdoms](/source/Three_Kingdoms) period, the city is known for the [battle](/source/Battle_of_Xiapi) between warlords [Lü Bu](/source/L%C3%BC_Bu) and [Cao Cao](/source/Cao_Cao) fought there. It is the location Lü Bu retreated to when under siege by [Cao Cao](/source/Cao_Cao) at [Xiaopei](/source/Xiaopei). He first moved his family there and then he himself after being advised by [Chen Gong](/source/Chen_Gong). It was here that Lü Bu was ultimately defeated at the [Battle of Xiapi](/source/Battle_of_Xiapi).
During [World War II](/source/World_War_II), the [Battle of Taierzhuang](/source/Battle_of_Taierzhuang) took place in Tengzhou. In the [Chinese Civil War](/source/Chinese_Civil_War), it was the scene of the [Huaihai Campaign](/source/Huaihai_Campaign). The area is relatively impoverished when compared to the rest of Jiangsu Province. In October 2007, when its party secretary [Li Lianyu](/source/Li_Lianyu) returned as a delegate from the [17th Party Congress](/source/17th_National_Congress_of_the_Communist_Party_of_China), the entire city was mobilized to greet him in an unprecedented display,[[http://guancha.gmw.cn/content/2007-10/29/content_690146.htm 华南虎照片之假与书记荣归场面之真] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303195753/http://guancha.gmw.cn/content/2007-10/29/content_690146.htm |date=2016-03-03 }}][[http://www7.chinesenewsnet.com/gb/MainNews/SinoNews/Mainland/2007_10_28_17_57_6_624.html 江苏一市委书记组织数千人欢迎自己17大“载誉归来”（组图]）] drawing immense criticism.
==Geography==
Pizhou lies to the northeast of [Xuzhou City](/source/Xuzhou_City) at the intersection of the [Grand Canal](/source/Grand_Canal_(China)) and [Longhai Railway](/source/Longhai_Railway). To the north of Pizhou, there is the well-known [Tai'erzhuang](/source/Taierzhuang) District of [Zaozhuang](/source/Zaozhuang) City, [Shandong](/source/Shandong) Province.
Pizhou City is home to the longest Dawn redwood ''[Metasequoia glyptostroboides](/source/Metasequoia_glyptostroboides)'' avenue in the world.
