The origin of the name Huaian, Jiangsu?

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the city was at the forefront of wars and confrontations for a long time. Its construction was chaotic and its affiliations were changeable.

Long years of war have brought about the miserable scene of "thousands of miles of bare land between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River", and the economy and culture have been severely damaged. In the seventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (489), the east of Zhidu Pofu was cut off, and 100 households from the lower reaches of Huaiyin Town were settled in Huai'an County, and the name "Huai'an" first appeared.

During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the territory had been in a stable environment for a long time, and the construction was relatively stable. Most of Huaibei belonged to Sizhou (governing the other side of the Huaihe River north of Xuyi County today), and Huainan belonged to Chuzhou (governing Huaicheng, present-day Huai'an District). ), the economy can continue to develop and prosper again. Chuzhou and Sizhou became two nationally famous cities along the canal, and Chuzhou was even praised as "the first state in the southeast of Huaihe River" by Bai Juyi.
