According to historical research, the ancient nationalities in China are divided into three systems: Huaxia Group, Dongyi Group and Miaoman Group. Hao Tao belongs to Dongyi Group and his ancestral home is Qufu. Besides Chiyou and Xu, Dongyi Group. After Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, it created conditions for Xu's development and became the most powerful Fang tribe in Dongyi Group. At this time, due to the strong pressure of Xu, he could not survive in Qufu, so he moved to the south of Huaishui, that is, today's Lu' an area to settle down and farm, and named it "Six", which was known as the Six Kingdoms in ancient times. Located 9 kilometers east of Lu 'an and 2 kilometers north of Gao Tao's Tomb, there is a site of Dongcheng Capital. In recent years, according to the archaeological objects recorded in Historical Records, relevant experts believe that this site may be the original fief of Yu recorded in Historical Records Xia Benji, that is, the city site of the Six Kingdoms.
Hao Tao was an important figure in the leading group of Huaxia Alliance during the Yao, Shun and Yu period. He is as famous as Yao, Shun and Yu, and is one of the four ancient saints. He assisted Shunzheng and formulated various penalties, and was known as the originator of China's justice. After the death of Shun, Yu succeeded to the throne. He also successfully helped Yu control water. According to his moral character and talent, Yu chose to be his successor and granted him the power to handle government affairs. Unfortunately, he died before. After death, the present Lu 'an area was sealed to future generations, so Lu 'an was called "Gaocheng".
During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, there were Ying (now west of Jinzhai County), Liu (now around Lu 'an City), Liao (now around Huoqiu County) and Zhou (now around Fengtai and Shouxian County) in Lu 'an, which were collectively called ""with Shu Yong, Shu Jiu, Shu Liao, Shu Long and (now Shucheng County). During the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu State, which rose in Jianghan Plain, became increasingly powerful. In the middle and late 7th century BC, Chu destroyed Britain, Japan, Polygonum, Shu Qun and Zhou Lai successively. Lu 'an became the territory of Chu.
From Yu's "being named British VI" to the Chu King's extermination of VI (622 BC), the descendants were founded in the Sixth Nation 1500, which is one of the longest countries in China's history.
When the State of Chu became stronger and stronger, the State of Wu in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River became stronger and stronger. Wu Chu launched a long-term war for hegemony in Lu 'an. In 5 10 BC, Wu invaded the capital of Chu, and then controlled Lu' an for more than 30 years, until it was destroyed by Yue in 473 BC and Lu' an was reoccupied by Chu. In 24 1 year BC, the state of Chu moved its capital to Shouchun (now Shouxian), which was called Ying. In 223 BC, the dispute over Qin Chu finally ended, and Lu 'an was also integrated into a unified country.
After the Qin Dynasty destroyed the six countries and unified China, the county system was implemented. The whole country was divided into 36 counties, with counties under it. Today, most areas in the southeast of Lu 'an, Huoshan and Shucheng belong to Hengshan County, and the rest belong to Jiujiang County, which has jurisdiction over Shouxian County and Anfeng County, and Shouchun is under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang County.
During the Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu named Ying Bu, a native of six counties, as the king of Jiujiang and Liu Du (the site is in the ancient city Xi, 6 kilometers north of Lu 'an today). Later, Ying Bu rebelled against the state of Chu and helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu, and was renamed King Huainan by Liu Bang, who was only six years old. In BC 196, Ying Bu was defeated and killed. After that, Liu Bang made his son Chang Lu the king of Huainan and moved his capital to Shouchun. In BC 174, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty thought that Liu Chang was trying to rebel and exiled him. In BC 164, Huainan's hometown was divided into three parts, and Feng Changlu's three sons, Liu An, Liu Bo and Liu Ci, were Huainan Wang, Hengshan Wang and Lujiang Wang. Shouxian and Lu 'an belong to Huainan, Jinzhai and Jin 'an districts in the north, Yu 'an, Huoshan and Huoqiu belong to Hengshan, and Shucheng county belongs to Lujiang. BC 12 1 year, Liu An, king of Huainan, and Liu Ci, king of Hengshan rebelled, and the two kings committed suicide. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the initials of six counties, namely Hengshan, Anfeng and Anfeng, and named Hengshan as the country of Lu 'an and Liu Qing as the king of Lu 'an, which means "six places are safe and never rebel", hence the name "Lu 'an", which has been used for several generations.
