Historical evolution

The ancient geographical work Shangshu Yugong divided the world into nine states according to the natural region, and "Jing and Hengyang are only Jingzhou". Now Anhua is in Jingzhou.

During the spring and Autumn period, qunman in Hunan and Jingchu in Hubei often fought against each other. In the middle of the spring and Autumn period, the power of the state of Chu expanded to the north of Hunan. In the Warring States period, Wu Qi, the Prime Minister of Chu, mourned the king of Chu. At the beginning, he merged with man and Yue and obtained the land of Dongting and Cangwu. At this time, most of the territory of Hunan was incorporated into the territory of the state of Chu.

Qin Yingzheng 26 years (221 BC), and six countries, divided into 36 counties, now Anhua belongs to Changsha County.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, Yiyang County was set up, which belongs to Changsha County. In the fifth year of Gaozu (202 BC), Changsha County was changed into a state, and it was changed into a county in the Guangwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Today Anhua belongs to Yiyang County, Changsha County, Jingzhou.

During the Jian'an period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou. Changsha County was once occupied by Liu, and now Anhua belongs to it. During the Three Kingdoms period, jin'anhua belonged to Yiyang County, Changsha County, Wu County. In the second year of Taiping (257), Wu divided Changsha County into Xiangdong county and Hengyang County. Now Anhua belongs to Yiyang County.

Because of the old system in the Western Jin Dynasty, jin'anhua belongs to Yiyang County, Hengyang County, Jingzhou. In 307, the first year of Yongjia, Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty, Jingzhou and Guangzhou were located in Xiangzhou. Now Anhua belongs to Yiyang County, Hengyang County of Xiangzhou.

The Jin system was still used in the northern and Southern Dynasties, and the affiliation of Anhua remained unchanged.

In the early Sui Dynasty, the county was abandoned as a state, and Changsha County was changed into Tanzhou, which was subordinate to Jingzhou. In the third year of Daye (607), the Prefecture was changed into a county. Now Anhua belongs to Yiyang County of Changsha County and is still subordinate to Jingzhou.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were two prefectures and counties. Changsha County was called Tanzhou and Changsha County in history. In the first year of Zhenguan (627), there were 10 roads in the whole country, and Changsha County in Tanzhou belonged to Jiangnan Road. In the 21st year of Kaiyuan (733), Jiangnan Road was divided into East and West roads. Today Anhua is located in Yiyang County, Changsha County, Tanzhou, the West Road of Jiangnan.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the local people of Meishan attacked the prefectures and counties to oppose the rule. During the reign of Guangqi (885-888), Meishan was "under the control of the barbarians", did not listen to the orders of the court, did not obey the state unification, was not under the jurisdiction of the county, and was "not connected with China". Now Anhua county is called "Meishan barbarian land" in history, which remained unchanged from the Five Dynasties to the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Xining (1072) of the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court sent Zhang Dun to set up Meishan County. In the sixth year, it was named Anhua, which was under the jurisdiction of Changsha County, Lutan Prefecture, Hunan Province. At the beginning of the county, Qianping was set up in the east of Yixi (today's Qianping in Donghua). In the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1130), it was destroyed by the war. The county government moved to the west of Yixi, which is now Meicheng town.

Yuan Shizu divided Huaxia into one Zhongshu province and 11 xingzhongshu provinces. In the early years of Dade (1297-1307), there were 22 roads in the whole country. Today, Anhua is located at Tanzhou Road, Hunan Road, Hunan Province. In 1329, Tanzhou road was changed to Tianlin road. Today, Anhua will be changed to Hunan Road Tianlin road.

At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Tianlin road was changed into Tanzhou capital. Hongwu five years (1372), changed to Changsha. In the ninth year, Hunan Province was transformed into Huguang administrative department (Hunan Province). There were four roads under the province. Now Anhua county is under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture, Baodao, governor of Hunan Province.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Changbao road was changed into Xiangjiang Road, and now Anhua belongs to Xiangjiang Road in Hunan Province. In 1922, Dao was abolished and the provincial and county levels were retained. Now Anhua is in Hunan Province. In 1937, Hunan Province was divided into 9 administrative supervision districts and 2 cities, and now Anhua is under the jurisdiction of the Sixth District (Shaoyang is the resident of the supervision district, see the administrative supervision district of Hunan Province). In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), it was divided into 10 administrative supervision districts. Anhua was transferred to the fifth administrative supervision district of Hunan Province (the supervision district was located in Yiyang).
