The name Ningguo is named from "Yi-QianGau" . It is written, "首出庶物，万国咸宁". Ningguo was founded in 208 CE during the Eastern Han dynasty. Sun Quan divided the southern part of Wanling County into Ningguo and Huaian County.
On April 23, 1949, Ningguo County was occupied by the People's Liberation Army, and in May it was assigned to Xuancheng Prefecture. It became part of Huizhou Prefecture in January 1952, Wuhu Prefecture in February 1956, Huizhou Prefecture again in March 1961, and finally Xuancheng Prefecture in January 1980.
Anhui South Flower Drum Opera: Folk music originating in Hubei and Henan was introduced into Ningguo at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It was integrated with local songs and dances, absorbed the essence of Gaoqiang Opera, Hui opera and Peking opera, and formed a rough, simple and lively style. The main plays include "San Ci" and "San Fan", with a total of 53 major plays and 114 minor plays. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, 38 original plays and 83 small plays were collected and included in the compilation of traditional plays.[3]
The dialects of Ningguo are diverse, mainly including Hubei dialect, Anqing dialect, Wu dialect, and She dialect of the She ethnic group. This dialect diversity is mainly caused by the influx of a large number of foreign immigrants.[4]
