History of Anhui
Early in the Qing Dynasty, a huge province named Jiangnan, was founded. It included what are now Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province and Shanghai City. During the Qing Dynasty, in the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi (A.D.1667), Jiangnan Province was partitioned into two provinces: Anhui and Jiangsu. Anhui, the name of the province, is a portmanteau word combining the first characters of Anqing and Huizhou. In the year when Anhui was established, Anqing was the political center of the province and Huizhou was the economic center.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Anhui was divided into the two prefectures: Northern Anhui and Southern Anhui, with Hefei as the capital of Northern Anhui and Wuhu the capital of Southern Anhui. In 1952, North Anhui and Southern Anhui were merged to form Anhui Province, and Hefei was selected as the provincial capital city...More about History of Anhui

Culture of Anhui
Anhui spans many geographical and cultural regions. The northern, flatter parts of the province, along the river Huai He and further north, are most akin to neighbouring provinces like Henan and Shandong. In contrast, the southern, hilly parts of the province are more similar in culture and dialect to other southern, hilly provinces, like Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
