Abstract
Anhui is a province of the PRC. Its name derives from the names of two cities—Anqing and Huizhou (now Huangshan City)—both of which are located in south Anhui. The abbreviation for the province is “Wan”, because in ancient times there was a state called Wan in areas around the mountain called Wan in the province.
