History[edit]

Old Hefei Map with wall

From the 8th to the 6th centuries BC, Hefei was the site of many small states, later a part of theChu kingdom.Many archaeological finds dating from this period have been made. The name 'Hefei' was first given to the county set up in the area under theHan dynastyin the 2nd century BC.

In the 3rd century AD, theBattle of Xiaoyao Fordwas fought atXiaoyao Ford(Tiêu dao tân) in Hefei.Zhang Liao,a general of theWeistate, led 800 picked cavalry to defeat the 200,000-strong army from Wei's rival stateWu.Several decades of warring in Hefei between Wu and Wei followed this battle.

During the 4th to the 6th centuries AD, this crucial border region betweennorthern and southern stateswas much fought over; its name and administrative status were consequently often changed. During theSui(581–618) andTang(618–907) periods, it became the seat of Lu prefecture—a title it kept until the 15th century, when it became a superior prefecture named Luzhou.

The present city dates from theSong dynasty(960–1126), the earlier Hefei having been some distance farther north. In the 10th year ofXining(Hi ninh,1077 AD), the taxes collected from the Luchow Prefecture were 50315 Guan, approximately 25 million today's Chinese Yuan, with a ranking of the amount of taxes was the 11th(following Kaifeng, Hangzhou, Qinzhou, Chuzhou, Chengdu, Zizhou, Xingyuan, Mianzhou, Zhenzhou, Suzhou) among all the prefectures of Song Dynasty. During the 10th century, it was for a while the capital of the independentWu kingdom(902–938) and was an important center of theSouthern Tangstate (937–975).

After 1127 it became a center of the defenses of theSouthern Song dynasty(1126–1279) against theJin(Jurchen) invaders in theJin–Song wars,as well as a flourishing center of trade between the two states. When theChinese Republicwas founded in 1911, the superior prefecture was abolished, and the city took the name of Hefei. The city was known asLuchoworLiu-tcheou[13](Lư châu,pLuzhou) during theMingandQingdynasties (after the 14th century to the 19th century). Hefei was the temporary capital for Anhui from 1853 to 1862. It was renamed as Hefei County in 1912. Following the Chinese victory in theSecond Sino-Japanese Warin 1945, Hefei was made the capital of Anhui.

BeforeWorld War II,Hefei remained essentially an administrative center and the regional market for the fertile plain to the south. It was a collecting center for grain, beans, cotton, andhemp,as well as a center for handicraft industries manufacturing cloth, leather, bamboo goods, and ironware.

The construction in 1912 of theTianjin–Pukou railway,farther east, for a while made Hefei a provincial backwater, and much of its importance passed toBengbu.In 1932–36, however, a Chinese company built a railway linking Hefei withYuxikou(on theYangtzeoppositeWuhu) to the southeast and with theHuai RiveratHuainanto the north. While this railway was built primarily to exploit the richcoalfieldin northern Anhui, it also did much to revive the economy of the Hefei area by taking much of its produce to Wuhu and Nanjing.

Although Hefei was a quiet market town of only about 30,000 in the mid-1930s, its population grew more than tenfold in the following 20 years. The city's administrative role was strengthened by the transfer of the provincial government fromAnqingin 1945, but much of its new growth derived from its development as an industrial city.

Hefei was designated the provincial capital in 1952.[14]: 122 

Acotton millwas opened in 1958, and a thermal generating plant, using coal from Huainan, was established in the early 1950s. It also became the seat of an industry producingindustrial chemicalsand chemicalfertilizers.In the late 1950s an iron and steel complex was built. In addition to a machine-tool works and engineering and agricultural machinery factories, the city has developed an aluminum industry and a variety of light industries.

Hefei's development was advanced by theThird Front construction.[15]: 185 In 1970, theUniversity of Science and Technology of Chinarelocated to Hefei.[14]: 125–126 It is one of the best technological universities in the country.[15]: 185 

In 1978, theChinese Academy of Sciencesopened a Hefei branch.[14]: 126 Several electronics institutes were moved from Beijing to Hefei in the early 1980s.[14]: 126 The establishment of these educational and research and development institutions in Hefei were a foundations for its subsequent growth in innovation.[14]: 126 

In 1991, Hefei was one of the first Chinese cities to establish a High-Tech Industrial Zone.[14]: 129 

A period of rapid growth began in 2005, when Hefei party secretarySun Jinlonginitiated a strategy of industry-based city building.[14]: 127 Sun prioritized the automobile, electric appliance, and equipment manufacturing sectors of the city's economy.[14]: 127 The city government established a department for attracting investment and sent teams around the country to recruit businesses to Hefei.[14]: 127 Sun also launched a construction program of neighborhood redevelopment, road system improvement, rail system, and a new international airport.[14]: 127 Hefei's GDP grew at the highest rate of any Chinese provincial capital during Sun's tenure.[14]: 127–128 

Since the 2010s, Hefei has developed high-tech industries and an innovation-driven economy,[14]: 129 including semi-conductors and alternative energy economic sectors.[15]: 185
