Shucheng, formerly known as Zhou Shu, belongs to Lu 'an City, Anhui Province. Located in the middle of Anhui Province, at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain, on the shore of Chaohu Lake, between Jianghuai and Jianghuai. It is the intersection of Hefei, Lu 'an and Anqing.

Shucheng is one of the birthplaces of dragon culture and one of the thirteen birthplaces of Liangzhu culture in China. In ancient times, there were educators Liu Xin, Wen Weng, Zhou Yu, commander-in-chief of Wu Jun in the Three Kingdoms, Li, a great painter in the Song Dynasty, a minister of punishments in the Ming Dynasty, and Qin Minyue, a minister of official departments. In modern times, Hu Di, who was praised by Premier Zhou as one of the "three outstanding" intelligence fronts in the early days of the production party, was cultivated by national political and economic leaders.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Shucheng belonged to Wei first and then to Wu.
