What is the origin of the name Huai 'an, Jiangsu?

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, cities were at the forefront of war and confrontation for a long time, with disorderly buildings and changeable subordinate relations. At that time, Wharf Town and Huaicheng Town in the urban area were all military fortresses, and many counties and counties were set up, which was the place where border guards were stationed.

Years of war have brought the tragic scene of "a thousand miles between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River", and the economy and culture have been seriously damaged. In the seventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (489), Fudong, Huaiyin Town 100 households, located in Huai 'an County, was first named as "Huai 'an".

During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the territory was in a stable environment for a long time, and the construction was relatively stable. Generally speaking, Huaibei belongs to Sizhou (now opposite to the North Huaihe River in Xuyi County) and Huainan belongs to Chuzhou (now Huaicheng in Huai 'an District), so the economy has been developing continuously and prospering again. Chuzhou and Sizhou became two national famous cities along the canal, and Chuzhou was even praised by Bai Juyi as "the first state in the southeast of Huaishui".
