History
In late 1951, the administrative offices of Northern Anhui and Southern Anhui were amalgamated. The Anhui Daily, representing the Northern Anhui Administrative Office, and the Anhui Daily, representing the Southern Anhui Administrative Office, were amalgamated to create a single edition, considered the precursor to Anhui Daily. It was officially released on December 26, 1951. Joint edition for folio 4, spanning from December 26, 1952, to May 31, 1953.[3] On June 1, 1953, it was renamed Anhui Daily. Following the onset of the Cultural Revolution, it was rebranded as New Anhui Daily (Chinese: 新安徽报) in 1967 and reverted to its former name in 1971.[4] In July 1984, with the endorsement of the CCP Anhui Provincial Committee, Anhui Daily was disseminated beyond China's borders. From its start until 1993, the newspaper was a 4-page folio, transitioning to an 8-page folio in 1994, and has since undergone further expansion.[5]
In June 2002, the former General Administration of Press and Publication sanctioned the formation of Anhui Daily Newspaper Group, which was officially created in August 2003.[6]
In 2018, the newspaper was included in the 2017 National Top 100 Newspaper Recommendation List.[7]
