Anlu Mansion is located in present-day Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province. In the 15th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1278), he was promoted to Yingzhou and established the Anlu Mansion. The administrative seat was Changshou (today's Zhongxiang, Hubei), which belonged to Xingzhongshu Province in Jiangbei, Henan and other places.

In the early Ming Dynasty, it was demoted to Anlu Prefecture. In the tenth year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty (1531), An Luzhou was promoted to Chengtian Mansion. Because Emperor Jiajing gave birth and prospered here, he named the county "Zhongxiang", which means "Zhong gathers auspiciousness" because of the place where the dragon flies. Anlu Mansion, together with Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing and Shuntian Mansion in Beijing, were known as the three most famous mansions in the country at that time, and they were very prosperous for a while.
