It is located in the central area of ??Shouxian County, Huainan City, Anhui Province today. According to historical records, it was built by Sun Shuao, the prime minister of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period, between the 17th and 23rd years of King Zhuang of Chu (597 BC - 591 BC). In ancient times, it was known as "the best pond in the world".

Together with the later Dujiangyan, Zhanghe Canal and Zhengguo Canal, it was known as the four major water conservancy projects in ancient China. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Anfeng County was established. Therefore it is called Anfengtang.
