"Millennium ancient city, state of culture, century-old provincial capital, hometown of drama". More than 2000 years ago, it was an ancient country in Anhui during the Spring and Autumn Period, so Anhui Province was called "Anhui" for short, and its name came from "Anqing House" and "Huizhou House". Anqing has a history of nearly 800 years since it was founded in 1260. From the 25th year of Qing Qianlong (1760) to the 26th year of the Republic of China (1938), Anqing was the place where Anhui Province undertook political propaganda and deployment, and it was also the earliest provincial capital of Anhui Province.

The name of Anqing began in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 147), when the name of Deqing Army was changed to Anqing Army. It was named after Tongan County (established in the third year of Sui Daye, now Tongcheng) and Deqing Army (established in Huaining in the fifth year of Northern Song Dynasty, now Meicheng in Qianshan County).
In the first year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 195), "Ningzong in the Southern Song Dynasty was taken as the hiding place, and Zhou Shusheng became the old Anqing mansion" (the ancient city of Anhui Province, which ruled the buried hill), also known as the name of the mansion. Zhou Shu was called "Tangsheng County" in ancient times, and the literature records that it was the first southern tour of Emperor Yuan Feng of the Han Dynasty (BC 106), "composing the song of the prosperous Tang Dynasty". Today, the residents of Xin 'an Qingcheng are called Yicheng Capital. Dengyunpo was originally named Shengtang Mountain, and the river at the foot of the mountain is the ancient ferry of Shengtang Bay. According to legend, Guo Pu, a poet and geomancer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once visited Tangshan to see the Yangtze River and said that "this place is suitable for the city", so Anqing City was nicknamed "Yicheng".
Anqing City was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the tenth year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (12 17), Jin people broke Guangshan (now Huangchuan County, Henan Province), and there were many border policemen. Magistrate Huang Gan "built Anqing to prepare for war" at the former site of Zhou Shu (now Meicheng, Qianshan County); Later, due to the war, in the second year of Duanping in the Southern Song Dynasty (1235), Anqing House moved to Luo Cha and Yangcha Prefecture. In the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1260), Ma Guangzu, the ambassador to the Yangtze River, abandoned the government to prevent Mongolian troops from attacking Lin 'an (now Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and "rebuilt it as Xin 'an Qingfu in Yicheng (the shadow of Yicheng crossing in Tang Sheng Bay)" (the address is now Anqing City) and moved to Huaining County to govern Guo Fu. This place is close to the Yangtze River, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since then, Anqing House has remained stable, and "Anqing" has been used as the name of the town, which is consistent with the name of the administrative region (house, road, district, etc.). ) and has been used ever since.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Anqing was ruled by the Anqing government and Huaining County until the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was the special agency of the Republic of China. Because Anqing's geographical position is very important, and Anqing is also the "west gate" to control Jinling. Therefore, since the late Ming Dynasty, the governor has been guarding this place. From the 25th year of Qing Qianlong (1760) to the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), Anqing was also the seat of the political department of Anhui Province and the capital of Anhui Province.
