The city was founded during the Han Dynasty in the second century BC. In the Middle Ages it received the name of Anqing. From 1853 to 1861 it was held by the rebels of the Taiping rebellion. It had nearly impregnable fortifications. Zeng Guofan began his conquest of the Taiping by besieging the position with double walls. He made it his headquarters after its fall.

Kings of earth on a course unknown
Bearing gifts from afar
Hoping, praying
Following yonder star
Silhouette of a caravan
Painted against the sky
Wise men searching
For the Holy Child
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
A star hangs over Bethlehem
A journey ends in the night
Three kings trembling
Behold the glorious sight
Heaven's treasure Emmanuel
Drawing men to bow down
Tiny baby born to wear a crown
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satans power
When we were gone astray
Oh Tiny Baby born to wear a crown
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
One king held the frankincense
One king held the myrrh
One king held the purest gold
And one king held the hope of the world
One king held the purest gold
