The origin of Anqing's name and abbreviation?

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). In the first year of Qingyuan (1 195), "Shu Shou was promoted to Anqing House" (now the ancient city of Qianshan was ruled by it), and it was also named after the house. The ancient name of Anqing is "Tang Sheng", which is recorded in the literature as the first southern tour in the fifth year of Emperor Yuan Feng of the Han Dynasty (BC 106), and "Tang Sheng wrote the song of Zongyang". 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 Feng Shui master in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, said that Tangshan had the saying that "this place is suitable for a city", so Anqing was nicknamed "Yicheng".

Anqing City was founded in the Southern Song Dynasty. In the tenth year of Jiading (12 17), Huang Gan, the magistrate, "made Anqing a city and prepared for war"; 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 moved to Huaining County to govern Guo Fu. 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. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Anqing was ruled by Anqing Prefecture and Huaining County until the late Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, it was a special agency. Since the late Ming dynasty, the governor has been guarding this place. Qingganlong was the capital of Anhui from the 25th year (1760) to the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937), and was the political, economic, cultural and military center of the province for a long time. Anqing City was founded on the eve of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). Since then, it has been the resident of Anqing area and Anqing administrative office, and it is the central city of southwest Anhui. However, many changes have taken place in the administrative specifications and administrative divisions of Anqing.

Anqing City was established in April 1949, and the People's Commissioner's Office of Anqing Administrative Region was established in May, which governs Anqing City and eight counties including Huaining, Tongcheng, Tonglu, Buried Hill, Yuexi, Taihu Lake, Susong and Wangjiang. The special administrative office is located in Anqing. 195 1 year1October, the administrative office in southern Anhui and the administrative office in northern Anhui co-located (1April, 952, tied with Anhui Province, official script in Anqing, Anhui Province). Chizhou area/KLOC-0 was abolished in June, 952, and Guichi, Qingyang, Tongling, Liu Dong and Zhide counties were placed in Anqing area. In the same year, Anqing was promoted to a provincial city. 1956 changed to municipality directly under the central government. 196 1 was promoted to a provincial city. 1965, reduced to a municipality directly under the central government. In the same year, Chizhou District was restored, and the four counties of Guichi, Dongzhi, Tongling and Qingyang were designated as Anqing. 1968, Anqing area was changed to Anqing area. 1April, 979, Anqing revolutionary Committee was changed to Anqing regional administrative office. In the same year, Anqing was once again designated as a provincial city. 1980, Guichi, which belongs to Chizhou administrative office, was revoked in June 5438+10 and merged into Anqing administrative office. Up to now, Anqing administrative office has jurisdiction over Huaining, Zongyang, Tongcheng, Qianshan, Yuexi, Taihu, Susong, Wangjiang, Guichi and Dongzhi 10 counties, and the administrative office is located in Anqing. 1September, 988, according to the spirit of "the State Council's Reply on Adjusting Administrative Divisions in Anqing Region", Anqing Region and Anqing City were abolished, and a new Anqing City was established after the merger of cities and counties, and the city-led county system was implemented, which governed eight counties including Tongcheng, Huaining, Zongyang, Taihu Lake, Susong, Wangjiang, Yuexi and Qianshan, and three districts including Daguan, Yingjiang and Suburb.

Anqing was the hometown of ancient Anhui in the Zhou Dynasty (adjacent to Guo Tong in the east). There are Wanshan (Tianzhu Mountain, formerly called Nanyue) and Wanshui (Wanhe) in the territory, so Anhui is called "Anhui" for short. So Anqing is the source of Anhui.

Anqing has been a waterway transportation hub in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and its commerce is relatively developed. Long before the city was built, it gradually became the settlement, commercial market and official post station of Li Shu. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, a regional material distribution center was formed, through which silk, tea, raw lacquer and tung oil were all transported to various places for sale. In the eighth year of Xining (1075), Zhou Shu Tongan Safety Supervision Company was established in Tongan Bridge to cast copper coins. The southern song dynasty built a city here, and the economic and cultural foundation has been relatively developed since the Han and Jin dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huizhou merchants gathered, prospered in commerce and developed handicrafts, and became the largest commercial port in southwest Anhui and an important port on the border of Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi and on the Yangtze River.

Anqing is located in the key area of Tianjin, with dangerous terrain, which has always been a battleground for military strategists. The ancients called it "the control of Dongting and Peng Li, the control of Shicheng and Jingkou, the key to the north and south when dividing Xinjiang, and the Great Wall of Wan Li here when sitting in the town". During the Three Kingdoms period (2 14-237), there was an important military town, Wankou City, which was contested by Wu and Wei. The city was built to resist the nomads from the Southern Song Dynasty, and there were fierce battles at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty. "Anqing Defence War" wrote a heroic and tragic movement in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's revolutionary war.

At the same time, Anqing has been a place of Buddhism and Zen since ancient times. During the reign of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (327-334), a male teacher and a monk built the Taiping Temple at the foot of Song Wanshan (Taiping Temple Street still exists today). In the fourth year of the Southern Liang Dynasty (505), the monk Baozhi built the Shishan Temple in Lushui Town (now the northern suburb). During the reign of the Emperor of Sui Dynasty (58 1-600), there was a Bodaiji, which was later renamed Sanzu Temple (Sanzu Temple Street still exists today). During the years of Stegosaurus (960), Kaibao (974) and Chongning (1102-1106) in the Northern Song Dynasty, monks Khufu and Han Wan successively built Sancheng Temple and Baoshan Temple. Zen thought is the product of the integration of Buddhism and China culture, which can best reflect the particularity of Buddhism in China. Anqing plays a connecting role in the history of Zen development. In the early Southern Dynasties, Dharma came to the Central Plains and spread the heart print of Zen and Shurangama Sutra to Hui Ke, the second ancestor of Zen. In his later years, the second ancestor Hui Ke | "entered Sikong Mountain" to spread Zen thoughts, and found a successor-the third ancestor monk Chan, the third ancestor monk Chan passed on to the fourth ancestor Taoist heart, and then passed on to the fifth ancestor forbearance. Thus, from generation to generation, from generation to generation, Zen has been widely spread and carried forward.
