Wuhu (simplified Chinese: 芜湖; traditional Chinese: 蕪湖; pinyin: Wúhú; lit. 'Weedy Lake') is a prefecture-level city in southeastern Anhui province, China. Sitting on the southeast bank of the Yangtze River, Wuhu borders Xuancheng to the southeast, Chizhou and Tongling to the southwest, Hefei City to the northwest, Ma'anshan city to the northeast, Jiangsu to the east, and is approximately 90 km (56 mi) southwest of Nanjing. With the urbanization trend in the southern part of Nanjing, a conurbation between Nanjing, Maanshan and Wuhu is in building with more than 10,660,000 inhabitants.
History
[edit]Wuhu is known to have been inhabited since at least 570 BCE.[3] Present-day Wuhu evolved out of a settlement known as Jiuzi (Chinese: 鸠兹; pinyin: Jiūzī), located on the southern bank of the Shuiyang River, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of Wuhu's contemporary urban core.[3] Jiuzi was a site of conflict prior to 670 BCE between the Chu and the Wu during the Spring and Autumn period.[3] In 473 BCE, the Yue took Jiuzi from the Wu.[3] In 306 BCE, the Chu took Jiuzi from the Yue.[3]
During the time of the Qin dynasty, Jiuzi was placed under the jurisdiction of the Zhang Commandery (Chinese: 鄣郡; pinyin: Zhāng Jùn).[3] In 109 BCE, Zhang Commandery was renamed to Danyang Commandery .[3] During this time, the area of Juizi was reorganized as Wuhu County (simplified Chinese: 芜湖县; traditional Chinese: 蕪湖縣; pinyin: Wúhú Xiàn).[3] In 223 CE, under the reign of Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu, the county seat was moved from the site of Jiuzi to the highlands along the north banks of the Qingyi River, to the southeast of contemporary Wuhu's urban core.[3]
Xuancheng Commandery was carved-out of Danyang Commandery in 281 CE, with the headquarters of Danyang Commandery moved to Nanjing.[3] The area of contemporary Wuhu remained under the jurisdiction of Danyang Commandery.[3] During the Eastern Jin period, the area saw an influx of people migrate to the area from the Central Plains.[3] The area was placed under the jurisdiction of Xuancheng Commandery in 363 CE, and the commandery's headquarters were moved to the area.[3] During the late 4th Century, the area underwent a number of other administrative changes.[3] Part of the area would fall under the jurisdiction of Huainan Commandery .[3]
Both Xuancheng Commandery and Huainan Commandery were abolished early on during the Sui dynasty, in 589 CE.[3]
In 627 CE, under the Tang dynasty, the area was re-organized as Xuan Prefecture (Chinese: 宣州; pinyin: Xuān Zhōu), and placed under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Circuit.[3] In 733 CE, it became part of the newly created Jiangnanxi Circuit.[3] In 758 CE, it was transferred to be part of Sheng Prefecture , in Jiangnandong Circuit .[3] Three years later, it would return to Xuan Prefecture in Jiangnanxi Circuit.[3] In 787 CE, Xuan Prefecture was transferred to Jiangnandong Circuit.[3]
In 937 CE, upon the creation of the Southern Tang during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wuhu County was established, and placed under Jiangning Fu .[3] Since then, Wuhu went uninterrupted as an administrative unit throughout the remainder of dynastic China.[3]
During the Song dynasty, Wuhu County belonged to Jiangnan Circuit, and later Jiangnandong Circuit.[3]
In 1277, during the Yuan dynasty, Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction of Taiping Circuit .[3] In 1355, Taiping Circuit was replaced by Taiping Fu, and Wuhu County was placed under its jurisdiction.[3]
Taiping Fu was under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Sheng until its abolition in 1380, during the Ming dynasty.[3] Throughout the Ming dynasty, Wuhu County remained under the jurisdiction of Taiping Fu.[3] Under the Ming dynasty, Wuhu developed into a major commercial center and river port and since that time has been known as a center of the rice trade.[citation needed]
In 1644, the Hongguang Emperor (better known as the Prince of Fu), one of the last emperors of the Ming dynasty, was captured by forces of the new Qing dynasty in Wuhu County.[citation needed] During the Taiping Rebellion, Wuhu County exchanged hands more than five times between Taiping and Imperial forces.[citation needed] Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction of Huiningchitaiguang Circuit during the Taiping Rebellion.[3] The city became a treaty port in 1876 and has remained a commercial center since that time.[citation needed] The city's Roman Catholic cathedral, St. Joseph's Cathedral (圣若瑟主教座堂), dates from this time. Most of the downtown area alongside the Yangtze River was ceded in the British concession.[citation needed]
Upon the establishment of the Republic of China in 1912, Fu, Prefectures, and Ting were established, and counties were placed under direct provincial jurisdiction.[3] Wuhu County was directly governed by Anhui province from 1912 until 1914, when Wuhu Circuit was established to govern 23 counties in the area, including Wuhu County, until 1928.[3] Trade in rice, wood, and tea flourished at Wuhu until the Warlord Era of the 1920s and 1930s, when bandits were active in the area.[citation needed] In 1932, Wuhu County was placed under the jurisdiction of the Second Administrative Division of Anhui province (Chinese: 安徽省第二专区; pinyin: Ānhuī Shěng Dì Èr Zhuānqū).[3]

At the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War, part of the Second World War, Wuhu was occupied by Japan on December 10, 1937.[citation needed] This was a prelude to the Battle of Nanjing, ending in the Nanjing massacre.[citation needed] Under Japanese occupation, Chinese resistance fighters hid in the lakes around Wuhu by submerging themselves and breathing through reeds.[citation needed] In early 1938, Japan moved Wuhu County from the Second Administrative Division to the Fifth Administrative Division.[3] On October 25, 1938, they transferred Wuhu County to the Ninth Administrative Division.[3] Japan had again changed the region's divisions in August 1941, and placed Wuhu County under the Sixth Administrative Division.[3]
Japanese forces had been expelled from the area by August 1945, and Kuomintang forces placed Wuhu County under the Southern Anhui Administrative Office , and remained part of the Sixth Administrative Division.[3]
The People's Liberation Army captured Wuhu on April 24, 1949.[3] Three days later, it was placed under the jurisdiction of a local military committee.[3] The civilian Wuhu Municipal People's Government was established on May 10, 1949.[3] Two days later, a civilian government was formed for Wuhu County, which was placed under the jurisdiction of Wuhu.[3]
From December 1, 1967, to April 1, 1968, during the tumult of the Cultural Revolution, Wuhu was placed under military rule.[3]
Major industries began to be developed in Wuhu after the Second World War, with the development of the textile industry, shipbuilding, and paper mills.[citation needed] Despite this, Wuhu had been lagging behind Ma'anshan and Tongling in industrial production for decades after the establishment of the People's Republic of China and remained primarily a commercial center for trade in rice, silk, cotton, tea, wheat and eggs.[citation needed] However, with recent years' economic rise, Wuhu has become a hub for manufacturing.[citation needed]
In July 2016, the area was afflicted by the 2016 China floods.[4]
On July 6, 2020, the Anhui provincial government approved the merger of Sanshan District into Yijiang District, the replacement of Wuhu County with Wanzhi District, and the replacement of Fanchang County with Fanchang District.[3]
In June 2023, the area was afflicted by flooding.[5]

Li Bai was born in Suyab, an ancient Silk Road city in Central Asian, and raised in southwestern China. Xie Tiao, one of the most distinctive Six Dynasty poets whom he greatly admired, left many poems when holding positions here.
During the Tang dynasty (619–907), the poet Du Mu wrote a famous poem Thoughts on Staying Again at Wuhu.
A factory in Wuhu carries on the local craft of making wrought iron pictures. Other local handicrafts are embossed lacquerware and rice straw pith patchwork. A famous stone tablet in Wuhu recording local events of the Song dynasty period (ca. 1000 AD) is considered to be a masterpiece of the renowned calligrapher Mi Fu.
Folklore
[edit]An itinerant blacksmith named Tang Tianchi is reputed to have invented the wrought-iron picture in Wuhu, when a painter whom he admired chided him, "You will never make pictures by beating iron."
Another blacksmith of the Spring and Autumn period (770–476 BC) named Gan Jiang was famous for sword making. Zhe Shan (Reddish Brown Hill) is said to get its colour from the flames of Gan Jiang's furnace. Shen Shan (Sacred Hill) is the legendary location of his sword grinding rock and tempering pool.
Cuisine

Hart arrived in Wuhu in 1881, intent on purchasing a piece of property to build the city's first Methodist Church and Western-style hospital. Hart was able to secure the Yichisan Hill before the British, who wanted the property to build a consulate and naval base[citation needed]. The Yichisan Hospital is Anhui's oldest/continuous western hospital. Dr. Edgerton H. Hart (V.C. Hart's eldest son) became the hospital's Director in 1895 and continued at that capacity until his death in April 1913.[20] Caroline Maddock arrived in Wuhu in October 1904, to serve as the General Hospital's Head Nurse. Caroline Maddock married Dr. Edgerton Hart in October 1907. In 1909, Caroline and four other nurses founded the Nurses Association of China and she served as its first president; this association still represents China's Nurse profession.[21][22]
