In 361-972, Wucheng county (later renamed Wulin county) was set up in today's wulinkou (4 kilometers away from Da'an), and in 599-972, suijian county was set up in today's dazhongwei (more than 10 kilometers away from Da'an). Da'an is located in the middle of the two ancient counties, at the intersection of Baisha River and Xinke River, with convenient transportation, flat and fertile land. It will not be a port until late Ming and early Qing Dynasty.

Dawu opens a port

The urban area of Da'an Town was called dawuwei in ancient times. Its name originated from a large Sapindus Sapindus tree at the confluence of two rivers at the end of Weiwei at the beginning of the opening of Weishi. Da'an was called "Dawu" in ancient times. According to the historical data, the earliest name of "Da'an" appeared in the annals of Pingnan County in the 15th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the old name was still used until the Republic of China. After the lifting of the ban in Taiwan, some veterans sent letters to seek relatives, and the address was still "Dawu market".

Da'an City (formerly dawuxu) opened as a port earlier, and the evidence can be traced back to the late Ming Dynasty. Since the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, it has been favored by the clever Cantonese Merchants. Before the Republic of China, Da'an was one of the major commercial ports in Guangxi, known as "one military, two WUS and three rivers".
