Origin of the name
Anhui was founded in the Qing Dynasty in the sixth year of the Kangxi period (1667 AD), and the name of the province was taken from the first word of the name of Anqing Province and Huizhou Province as Anhui.
This is the origin of the name Anhui.
Anhui is shortened to "Anhui" because of the ancient state of Anhui and its mountains and rivers.
[edit]Before the Sui and Tang dynasties
Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang dynasty (16th - 11th centuries BC), had his capital at Bozhou in northern Anhui for a short period of time, and at that time most of the inhabitants of Anhui were not of Chinese ethnicity, but were Eastern Barbarians who later integrated into the Han Chinese.
At the end of the Warring States period, in 278 BC, the capital of Chu was moved to Shouchun (present-day Shouxian, Anhui Province) after its Ying capital (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei Province) was captured by the Qin Empire.
In 224 BC, Xiang Yan, a Chu general, was defeated by Qin's Wang Jian's 600,000-strong army, and in 223 BC, Shouchun fell and Chu fell.
In 221 BC, Qin completed its plan to conquer the six kingdoms and unify the world.
Most of Anhui belonged to Jiujiang County (Shouxian), and the northern end belonged to Sishui County and Dang County.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang in the Battle of Gaixia in present-day Guzhen County, Anhui Province, and cut his own throat on the Wujiang River (He County, Anhui Province).
Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty.
When Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Dong'ou Kingdom moved to Lujiang County (Shucheng area in western Anhui).
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Shouchun became the base of warlord Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu later claimed the title of Emperor, but died soon afterward, and Shouchun was returned to the warlord Cao Cao (a native of Bozhou, the de facto founder of the state of Wei in the Three Kingdoms).
During the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, several northern nomads established themselves in the north of China over the course of several hundred years, starting in the 4th century, while the south remained a *** dynasty.
The northern part of Anhui became the frontline of the confrontation between the north and the south, and there was constant fighting.
One of the more important battles was the Battle of the Interstate War, fought in 383 between the Former Qin in the north and the Eastern Jin in the south.
[edit]Sui, Tang, Song, Jin and Yuan
The Sui Dynasty (581-618) unified the Central Plains.
After a brief period of chaos, the Tang Dynasty (618-907) came to power and remained peaceful and unified for more than a century.
During the An Shi Rebellion, the Huaihe River region in northern Anhui was ravaged by war.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, in 875, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao revolted, crossing the Yangtze River from Henan through Anhui Hexian into southern Anhui to Fujian and Guangdong, and then attacking Chang'an through Anhui, causing chaos and the division of the country into clans and towns, which soon led to the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty rose in the north.
After 1127, the Huai River in northern Anhui once again became the frontier between north and south: the Jin in the north and the Southern Song in the south.
In 1161, Wanyan Liang, King of Hailing of the Jin Dynasty, marched against the Song and lost the Battle of Cai Shi in present-day Ma'anshan, Anhui Province.
In 1234, Jin fell to the Mongol Empire.
In 1276, the Mongols captured Hangzhou, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
All of Anhui reverted to the Yuan Dynasty.
[edit]Ming Dynasty
In 1368, Emperor Hongwu (Zhu Yuanzhang) founded the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, driving the Mongols out of the country.
As a result of the capital Nanjing, the whole of today's Jiangsu and Anhui provinces came directly under the administration of the central government ***, known as "Nan Zhili" (南直隶).
This region spanned the Yangtze and Huai rivers to the north and south, and for the first time brought under the same administrative jurisdiction a vast area of economic and cultural diversity, including the flood-prone hometown of the Hongwu emperor, Fengyang, in present-day northern Anhui, the mountainous state of Huizhou in present-day southern Anhui, and the affluent Taihu Lake region in present-day southern Jiangsu.
The Hongwu emperor made Fengyang his central capital, and at one point considered moving the capital there, but was forced to abandon the plan and build only a mausoleum and a portion of the city wall.
The Ming Dynasty had 7 prefectures in Anhui***, 4 of which were located south of the Yangtze River: Huizhou Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture (Xuancheng), Taiping Prefecture (Dangtu), and Chizhou Prefecture; 2 were located on the north bank of the Yangtze River: Anqing Prefecture, and Lushou Prefecture (Hefei); and there was only 1 prefectural government in the whole of the Huaihe River valley: Fengyang Prefecture.
Wuhu, a small county on the south bank of the Yangtze River, developed into a new industrial and commercial center in the Ming Dynasty.
In 1635, Li Zicheng, a peasant rebel at the end of the Ming Dynasty, captured Fengyang, dug up the ancestral tombs of the Ming royal family, and burned down the Huangjue Temple, where Zhu Yuanzhang had been a monk.
[edit]Qing Dynasty
In 1645, the Manchurian Eight Banners captured Nanjing and changed the name of Nan Zhili to Jiangnan Province; in 1667, the province was divided into Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province.
The capital of Anhui Province was Anqing, with the governor of Anhui and the press commissioner of Anhui, and the left provincial governor of Anhui, who managed the civil affairs of Anhui, was permanently stationed in Jiangning (Nanjing) until 1760 (the twenty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign), when he was moved to Anqing.
The provincial boundaries have not changed much compared to today.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set its capital at Nanjing, and southern Anhui was its main food and military base. In the course of the tragic and repeated tug-of-war between Zeng Guofan's Xiang Army and Chen Yucheng's Taiping Army, the vast majority of the population of southern Anhui died, and the economy and culture were devastated. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it in the past.
At the same time, the Nien Rebellion also originated in the impoverished northern Anhui province, where banditry was rampant.
Li Hongzhang recruited the Huai army near Hefei to fight in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
After the Taiping Rebellion, the Huaijun became an important force in the Qing Dynasty.
[edit]After the Qing Dynasty
After the founding of the Republic of China, the Jinpu Railway was opened in 1912, and Bengbu emerged.
In 1926, the National Revolutionary Army occupied Anhui in a northern expedition.
1937 the outbreak of total war of resistance.
Anhui became a place where the forces of the Japanese, Wang Jingwei's regime, the National Army, and China ***'s New Fourth Army intersected.
The Anhuinan Incident, a clash of national ****, took place in Anhui in 1940.
After the Japanese surrender in 1946, the Republic of China *** moved the capital of Anhui from Anqing to Hefei.
From 1948 to 1949, Anhui was the main battlefield of the Huaihai Campaign during the ROC **** Civil War.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China*** and the State of China in 1949, Anhui was once divided into 2 administrative offices (provincial level), North Anhui and South Anhui, with the Yangtze River as the boundary.
In 1952 it was re-merged.
There were minor adjustments to the provincial boundaries: Wuyuan County in Huizhou was transferred to Jiangxi, and Xuyi and Sihong counties were transferred to Jiangsu, in exchange for Xiaoxian and Dangshan counties in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, which were transferred to Anhui.
But this made Tianchang County a chisel into the Jiangsu province.
