History of the building
Dingyuan County was the land of Huaiyi in ancient times, and it belonged to Chu during the Warring States period.
When Qin established the county, it belonged to the counties of Yinling (ancient city village of Paoshan Township, Zhi present-day Dingyuan County) and Dongcheng (sanguanji of Daqiao Township, Dingyuan County). During the Western Han Dynasty, the county consisted of Yinling, Dongcheng Erxian and Quyang Marquis (治陽陽, in modern Fengyang County), all of which belonged to Jiujiang County. Wang Mang changed the name of Dongcheng to "Wucheng", Yinling to "Yinlu", and Quyang Marquis to 'Yanping Pavilion'. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the old name of the Western Han Dynasty was restored, and Yanping Pavilion was renamed West Quyang, and the three counties of Dongcheng, Yinling and West Quyang were all subordinated to Jiujiang County (ZhiyinLing). In the fifteenth year of Yongping (72), Dongcheng was changed to the State of Xia Pi in Xuzhou, and during the Three Kingdoms of Wei, the establishment of Dongcheng and Yinling Counties was abolished and transferred to Xiquyang County, Huainan County.

In the fifth year of Emperor Wu of Liang 's reign ( 524 ) , he sent the Dingyuan general Cao Shizong to attack Western Quyang , recover the lost territory of Huainan , and make the three counties of Western Quyang , Yinling , and Dongcheng into Dingyuan County , and Dingyuan County. The name of the county, "Dingyuan", means to stabilize the border and recover the lost land in the distance.
