The name of Anqing began in the seventeenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 147), when the name of Deqing Army was changed to Anqing Army. It was named after Tongan County (established in the third year of Sui Daye, now Tongcheng) and Deqing Army (established in Huaining in the fifth year of Northern Song Dynasty, now Meicheng in Qianshan County).

Anqing, called in ancient times, is not called Yicheng, but called "Yi" for short. Anqing is located in the southwest of Anhui province, on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where Anhui enters Anhui, and is known as the "first state of Wu and Chu in the Yangtze River". ?
