In the fifth year of Xining of the Northern Song Dynasty (1072), the imperial court sent Zhang Dun to open Meishan and set up a county. The next year (1073), it was named Anhua, which meant "returning to Ande." Before this, the name Anhua had already appeared. As early as the fourth year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1007), there was the name of Anhua Lang General. During the Chongning period of Song Huizong (1102 - 1106), there were also records of events related to Anhua Shangsanzhou and other places. Moreover, during the Song Shenzong period, there were events related to Anhua Man in the first year of Song Baoyuan (1038). However, at that time, Anhua had not yet established a county. In the earlier history, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Anhua belonged to the territory of Chu State. In the 26th year of Qin Yingzheng (221 B.C.), Anhua belonged to Changsha Prefecture. In the Han Dynasty, Anhua belonged to Yiyang County, Changsha Prefecture, Jingzhou, etc. After many administrative changes in the dynasties, the name "Anhua" was finally determined in the Northern Song Dynasty and continued to this day.
Anhua was called Meishan in ancient times, and it was the birthplace of Meishan culture. The Meishan culture originated from the ancient Meishan area in central Hunan, which roughly included the four counties of Xinhua, Anhua, Lengshuijiang and Lianyuan, as well as the surrounding areas such as Shuangfeng and Xinshao. The total area was more than 10,000 square kilometers. Yuntai Mountain was located in the core area of Meishan culture. Before the Song Dynasty, the Meishan area was high in mountains and dense in forests. The folk customs were strong. The residents were mainly Yao people and other indigenous people. People lived primitive farming, fishing and hunting. After the Song Dynasty opened Meishan and set up Xinhua and Anhua counties, the Meishan area gradually became a place where Han, Miao, Yao, Tujia and other ethnic groups lived. Meishan culture was rich in content, which was embodied in three aspects: first, religious belief; The second was the customs of life. For example, the Miao people's wine was an ancient and grand etiquette to welcome distinguished guests. After evolution, it became the etiquette custom of the Miao family to entertain guests. There was also Anhua Lei tea, which originated in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was passed down to the present. The color, taste, effect, production method, and related customs all reflected the rich culture of Lei tea. Lei tea could produce saliva and quench thirst, clear heat and detoxify, reduce inflammation and disease, and was a good thing to entertain guests and friends. The third was to reflect the labor, life, and cultural way of expressing thoughts of the people of Meishan. Meishan area was divided into three parts: Shangdong, Zhongdong, and Xiadong. The production customs of different areas were slightly different, such as "hunting in the mountains of Shangdong Meishan","putting ducks in the shed of Zhongdong Meishan","fishing and touching prawns in Xiadong Meishan". During festivals or festive harvests, the men and women of the whole cave would sing and dance together. There was also Meishan Cultural Park in Anhua. It was founded in 2007 and covered an area of 2800 mu.
