The origin of Anqing place names

2. 1 the origin of the city name

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Qianshan County in Anqing was the seat of ancient Anhui, which means "beauty" and "Wanshan Anhui" means "splendid rivers and mountains".

There is a Tianzhu Mountain in Qianshan County, Anhui Province, which is the highest mountain in Dabie Mountain, also called Wanjian Mountain. In ancient times, it was a fief of Wanbo, the doctor of Anhui, and Tianzhu Mountain was also called Wanshan (Wangongshan, Qian Shan and Qianyue Mountain).

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited Tianzhu Mountain in the south of China and called it Nanyue Mountain, formerly known as Hengshan Mountain.

The river at the foot of the mountain is called Anhui River (Anhui River, diving) and flows into the Yangtze River (Wanjiang).

The city under the mountain is called Wancheng.

Anhui province is called "Anhui" for short, which comes from it.

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".

Today, Anqing City was built 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 now Anqing is nicknamed "Yicheng".

2.2 Architectural evolution

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 composed of Tongan County (established in the third year of Sui Daye, now established in Tongan) and Deqing Army (established in the fifth year of Northern Song Dynasty, now established in Huaining, an ancient map of Anhui in Qianshan).

In the first year of Qingyuan (1 195), "Ningzong was the hiding place in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhou Shusheng was the Anqing House" (the ancient city of Anhui, now the buried hill), which was also named after this house.

Anqing is called "Tang Sheng" in ancient times, which is recorded in the literature. As for the Tang Sheng Dynasty, Emperor Yuan Feng of the Han Dynasty made his first southern tour in the fifth year (BC 106), hoping to worship Yu Shun in Jiuyi and climb Tianzhu Mountain to "compose a song of Tang Sheng Dynasty".

Today, Dengyunpo in Anqing City is the former site of Tang Sheng, and Linjiang at the foot of the mountain is the ancient ferry of Tang Sheng Bay.

According to legend, Guo Pu, a poet and Mr. Feng Shui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said that Tangshan had the saying that "this place is a good city", so Anqing was nicknamed "Yicheng".

Today's Anqing city was built in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the tenth year of Jiading (12 17), Jin people broke Guangshan (now Huangchuan County, Henan Province), but there were many policemen on the border.

Magistrate Huang Gan built "Anqing City to prepare for war" at the former site of Zhou Shu (now Meicheng, Qianshan County); Later, due to the war, Anqing House moved to Luocha and Yangma States in the second year of Duanping (1235); In the first year of Ding Jing (1260), Ma Guangzu, the ambassador along the Yangtze River, abandoned the Zhou Shu 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) and moved to Huaining County as a governing dependency.

Since then, the government has been stable, taking "Anqing" as the town name, which is consistent with the names of administrative regions (government, roads, special zones, etc.). ) and has been used ever since.

[6] Anqing was under the jurisdiction of Anqing Prefecture and Huaining County from the founding of the city to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and was a resident institution during the Republic of China.

Since the late Ming dynasty, the governor has been guarding this place.

During the twenty-five years of Qingganlong (1760) to the twenty-six years of the Republic of China (1937), it was also the seat of the political department of Anhui Province and the capital of Anhui Province.
