Anhui recruitment

Anhui province is called "Anhui" for short. Then, why should Anhui Province be called "Anhui" instead of "An", "Hui" and "Huai"? Anhui Province borders Hubei Province in the southwest, Henan Province in the northwest, Shandong Province in the north, Jiangsu Province in the east, Zhejiang Province and Jiangxi Province in the south, with an area of1.4000 square kilometers. Anhui Province, in the 6th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1667), was named after Anqing House and Huizhou House. Huizhou Prefecture (now Huangshan City) was very famous at that time, and the business of Huizhou merchants was national. However, if Huizhou Prefecture wants to become the provincial capital, it has a disadvantage that Huizhou Prefecture is located at the southernmost tip of Anhui Province, with criss-crossing mountains and rivers and less convenient transportation. Huizhou Prefecture is located in a corner of Anhui Province, which lacks representativeness in the whole province. Therefore, the abbreviation "emblem" in Anhui Province is inappropriate. Anqing is the capital of Anhui Province, located on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Although Anqing Prefecture is not as good as Luzhou Prefecture (Hefei) Center in the province, Anqing is the provincial capital with greater influence. Anhui province is called an for short, so it's ok. Neither can i. He zhi? Huizhou House is called Hui for short, and Anqing House is not called An at all, but Yi. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a famous gossip named Guo Pu. He likes Anqing very much and says it is livable, so people call it Anqing Yicheng. If Anhui province is called "An" for short and Anqing, the provincial capital, is called "Yi" for short, there will be contradictions. If the abbreviation of Anhui Province is "Yi", it has nothing to do with the words "An" and "Hui", which is not easy for outsiders to understand literally. There is another alternative to the abbreviation of Anhui Province, which is "Huai". Huaihe River originates from Tongbai Mountain in Nanyang, Henan Province, and then passes through Anhui Province. The word "Huai" has great influence in Anhui Province. You see, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, often called himself "Huaiyou Buyi". Also, after the Taiping Rebellion, Li Hongzhang formed an army to conquer the Taiping Army, so it was named Huai Army. Huaihe River is in the middle of Anhui, which is more representative than Anqing and Huizhou. But the problem lies in the word "Huai", which can be used in both Anhui and Jiangsu provinces. The Huaihe River passes through the central part of Anhui Province, then enters Jiangsu Province, and also passes through Jiangsu Province. The south bank of Huaihe River in Anhui Province can be called Huainan and the north bank of Huaihe River can be called Huaibei. Similarly, the south bank of Huaihe River in Jiangsu Province can also be called Huainan, and the north bank of Huaihe River can also be called Huaibei. If Anhui Province is called "Zhun" for short, it is easy to confuse mainlanders with "Huai" in Jiangsu Province. Finally, the abbreviation of Anhui Province is "Anhui". Anhui is an ancient name in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Where is Anhui? It is now Qianshan County, Anqing City, Anhui Province, at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain. Anhui is a small country with little influence in history. However, as the ancient capital of Anhui Province, Qianshan County belonged to Anqing, the capital of Anhui Province, in the Qing Dynasty. In the case that Anqing's "An" is not suitable as the abbreviation of Anhui, it is more appropriate to use Anhui instead. There is Anhui water next to Qianshan County, which finally flows into the Yangtze River in Anqing. In addition, the word "Anhui" literally means perfect or intact, which means beautiful. In fact, there is another place that is also suitable for choosing Anhui for short, and that is "Six". Six countries existed as early as Xia Dynasty and were destroyed by Chu in 622 BC. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu, the overlord of the place of Chu, named General Ying Bu as the "Six" King and returned home dressed in gold. "Lu 'an" is now Lu 'an City, Anhui Province. Geographically, "Six" is farther north and more representative than "Anhui". But "Liu" is a polyphonic word, and its real pronunciation is pronounced as "Lu". But in the case of illiteracy in ancient times, someone will definitely pronounce "Lu" as "6". If Anhui is called "6" for short, some people will ask: Why is Jiangsu Province not called "7" and Zhejiang Province not called "8" for short? Aren't we going to make a big joke? Well, only "Anhui" is more suitable for the abbreviation of Anhui Province. For more articles on Anhui historical geography, please pay attention to WeChat official account: Map Emperor.
