Anqing was the seat of ancient Anhui in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so Anhui Province was called "Anhui". In the seventeenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 147), Zhou Shude's Qing army was changed to Zhou Shuan's Qing army, hence the name "Anqing" (meaning "peaceful and auspicious"). Anqing City was founded in 12 17, with a history of nearly 800 years. Guo Pu, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once called this place Yicheng, so Anqing was nicknamed Yicheng.

The name of Anqing began in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 147), when the name "Deqing Army changed to Anqing Army" appeared, which was taken by Tongan County (established in the third year of Sui Daye, now Tongcheng) and Deqing Army (established in the fifth year of Northern Song Dynasty, located in Huaining, the ancient city of Qianshan).

2. Chuzhou

The name "Chuzhou" officially appeared in the Sui Dynasty, and the name of Chuzhou is probably related to its mother river-Chuhe River. Chuzhou city was called "soil" in ancient times, and Chuhe river was called "soil water" in ancient times. After the name of Nanqiao County in Sui Dynasty was changed to Chuzhou, the soil water in Tang Dynasty was also changed to Chuhe River, which has been used ever since.

Chuzhou was first under the jurisdiction of Tangyi (now Liuhe District, Nanjing). In October of the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (473), Dunqiu County, where the former overseas Chinese were located on Dunqiu Mountain in Lai 'an County, was changed to Tuzhong Town (now Chuzhou City), located in Xinchang County, and was subordinate to Dunqiu County in Xinchang County, Xuzhou. This is the beginning of the construction of Chuzhou city. In the first year of Song Huiyuan (473), Xinchang County was established, and the county (Dunqiu) moved to Tuzhong Town (now Chuzhou City). In the second year of Liang Datong in the Southern Dynasty (536), Xinchang County was changed to Yongyang County, and Nanqiao Prefecture was juxtaposed (both were used to treat Dunqiu, now the urban area). In the ninth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (589), the name "Chuzhou" officially appeared. Since then, it has been basically established for more than 1000 years, covering Liu Qing (now Chuzhou), Quanjiao and Lai 'an counties.

3. Hefei

The name of Hefei first appeared in Biography of Historical Records and Huo Zhi by Sima Qian, a great writer and historian: "Hefei was affected by the north-south tide and lost its abalone." During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Hefei officially established "Hefei County", which belonged to Jiujiang County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiusheng promoted Hefei to a vassal state, and in the Three Kingdoms period, it was ruled by Yangzhou. It happened here that Wei was defeated by Zhang Liao by Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army in the Three Kingdoms. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was ruled by Luzhou government, so it was also called "Luzhou". Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hefei has been an important administrative center and military center in the Jianghuai area. After the liberation of Hefei, the county set up a city, and three years later, the Anhui Provincial People's Government was formally established in Hefei.

4. Xuancheng

Xuanzhou is a famous mausoleum in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ancient Yue people lived in Sri Lanka.

The county was formally established in the early Qin Dynasty.

In the second year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 109), Danyang County was located in Wanling (now Xuanzhou District).

An analysis of Danyang county as Xuancheng county in the second year of Jin Taikang (28 1). Since then, Xuancheng has always existed as a county administrative region.

At the beginning of Sui Dynasty, the county was abandoned, and Nanyu Prefecture was changed to Xuanzhou, which was later renamed Xuancheng County.

Xuanzhou was established in the early Tang Dynasty, which was renamed Xuancheng County in the middle and Xuanzhou later.

In the second year of Southern Song Dynasty (1 166), Xuanzhou was changed to Ningguo House.

The Yuan Dynasty was the seat of Ningguo Road.

Ming and Qing Dynasties are the seat of Ningguo Mansion.

After Anhui was formally established as a province, Xuanzhou's position in southern Anhui was mentioned together with Hefei, an important town in northern Anhui, so it was called "Xuannan and northern Anhui".
