Mount Tai was not in Qi before, and Shandong was Qi or Lu before

To be precise, the ancient Qi and Lu countries were bounded by Mount Tai, the Qi country was in the north of Mount Tai, and the Lu country was in the south of Mount Tai.

Mount Tai is the border of Qi and Lu, so it is called Qilu land, one side is Qi, the other side is Lu country, so it is called Qilu land, and it should have something to do with historical evolution ("Qilu" originated from the pre-Qin Qi and Lu countries, and is the collective name of Qi and Lu, which was originally a national concept. Qi and Lu were the two feudal states in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and they were the two important positions of the Western Zhou Dynasty to exercise the ruling power in the East. Because when the Western Zhou Dynasty was first established, the Yin and Dongyi people in the eastern coastal areas were powerful, and they refused to accept the rule, and there were repeated anti-Zhou rebellions.

After the Duke of Zhou went on an eastward crusade and put down the rebellion of Wu Geng and Shang Xian, the king of Zhou placed two of the most powerful figures: the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Jiang in the old lands of Shang Xi and Bogu respectively, and established the State of Lu and the State of Qi to pacify the Yin and Yi people in the east. Lu lives in the yang of Mount Tai, all Qufu, lives in the yin of Mount Tai, the first capital of Yingqiu (now Changle, Shandong, a word is Linzi), and then moved to Bogu, and then moved to Linzi.

When Qi and Lu were first sealed, the places were hundreds of miles, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after hundreds of years of annexation wars, the territory of the two countries continued to expand and expand, and they basically controlled the present-day Shandong region. Moreover, with the political, economic, and cultural development of the two countries, ethnic integration and humanistic assimilation. Cultural exchanges, Qi and Shandong have gradually strengthened their internal ties.

Different from the Central Plains, Yanzhao, Qin, Jin, Wuyue, Jingchu, etc., the Qilu regional cultural circle has gradually formed. The terms "Qi and Lu" have also been gradually linked, and the transition from the national concept to the regional concept has also been made

That's right, we often say"The land of Qilu", because the Qi State in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period is today's Shandong Province, and Mount Tai is located in Shandong Province, which is the Qi State in ancient times.

During the Zhou Dynasty, Tai'an belonged to Qi and Lu.

Tai'an City, belonging to Shandong Province, is located in the central part of Shandong Province, north of Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, south of Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, the founder of Confucian culture, east of Linyi, west of the Yellow River.

It is kilometers away from Jinan City, the provincial capital, in the north, and kilometers away from Qufu City, the holy land of three holes, in the south. Tai'an is named after Mount Tai, "Bird Zhao Taishan is safe all over the world", which means that the country is safe and the people are safe. The city is located at the foot of Mount Tai, built by the mountain, and the mountain city is one.

1.Introduction.

Shandong is an important region in China and one of the birthplaces of Chinese history and culture. In Chinese history, Shandong was once home to two important states: the State of Qi and the State of Lu.

So, was Shandong a state of Qi or a state of Lu before? This question is still controversial today.

2.History of the states of Qi and Lu.

Both Qi and Lu were vassal states during the Spring and Autumn Period. The state of Qi was one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States of the East, and its territory included present-day Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, and other places. The state of Lu was a small country in Shandong, and its territory included today's Jinan, Tai'an, Dezhou, and other places.

3.Shandong's Guihui Burning Cave is a problem.

Some believe that Shandong was originally the territory of the state of Lu. Because according to the "Historical Records", Zhou Gongdan once supported Lu Gong Ji Qi and sealed him in Linjiang, which is Linyi in today's Shandong. Therefore, Shandong was first and foremost the territory of the state of Lu.

But there are also those who hold the opposite view. They believe that Shandong was originally the territory of the Qi State. Because the State of Qi already existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, while the State of Lu was a small state that was established later, it was impossible to have such a large territory as Shandong.

Moreover, the capital of the State of Qi was once located in present-day Jinan, which also shows that Shandong should have originally belonged to the State of Qi.

4.Sun Wu's views on Shandong.

Sun Wu was an ancient Chinese military strategist who once explained the territorial issue of Shandong in The Art of War. He believed that Shandong should belong to the Qi state, because the Qi state was stronger and more capable of ruling the region.

5.The uncertainty of the historical record.

Although there are many historical documents that record the ownership of Shandong, these records are not completely reliable. Because in ancient times, historical documents were not as widely circulated as they are now, and many documents may have been lost or destroyed. Moreover, the specific details of historical events may also be misunderstood or changed by future generations.

6.Reflections on the question of Shandong's ownership.

As for the controversy over the ownership of Shandong, we cannot simply conclude it based on historical records. Because history is a process of being interpreted by many parties, we should think from different perspectives based on facts. Perhaps more importantly, we should learn from past disputes and strive to explore the future of human society.

7.Conclusion.

In general, there is no clear answer to the question of whether Shandong was a state of Qi or a state of Lu before, and we need to look at it from a broader historical and cultural perspective. No matter ancient or modern, no matter which country Shandong belongs to, we should cherish the historical and cultural heritage, strengthen cultural self-confidence, and strive to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Because Mount Tai is in the north of Lu and Qi is in the south of Lu, Qi does not need to cross Mount Tai to attack Lu.

Before the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the Great Wall of Qi had begun to take shape. To the north of the Great Wall is the land of Qi, and to the south of the Great Wall is the land of Lu.

After the reign of Qi Jinggong, under the wise governance of the virtuous minister, the state of Qi became more and more powerful, and at that time, the state of Lu was not as strong as before due to civil strife. The forces of Qi took the opportunity to cross the Great Wall and incorporated Mount Tai, known as the "Respect of the Five Mountains", into the territory of Qi.
