Ning Qi, whose birth and death dates are unknown, was born in Laitang Yi (now Pingdu, Qingdao) in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that he was from Weiguo (now in Henan). In his early years, he had the talent to manage the world and benefit the people but failed. In the twenty-eighth year of Qi Huan (685 BC), he became a doctor. Later, he served as Chief Sitian of Qi State for a long time and was one of the main assistants of Duke Huan of Qi.
For more than 40 years starting from 685 BC, Duke Huan of Qi implemented the country-building strategy of recruiting talented people and striving for governance. He appointed Guan Zhong as prime minister and established the hegemony of "nine princes uniting to rule the world." Appreciating and reusing Ning Qi is a typical example of Duke Huan of Qi's brilliant talent policy.
Ning Qi learned that Duke Huan of Qi valued talents and was ambitious, so he decided to join the Qi State in order to accomplish something. He was not afraid of difficulties, came to Linzi, recommended himself, and sang loudly, which made Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong notice that he was a man of extraordinary magnanimity and ambition.
Qi Huan Gong is very thirsty for talents and has a keen eye for talents. Once they talked, he decided that Ning Qi was a rare talent. He did not care about his origin or seniority. He did not care about small details, but paid attention to big ones, and tried his best to overcome all opinions. , promoted Ning Qi.
The outstanding politician Guan Zhong also respected Ning Qi very much and helped Duke Huan of Qi make good use of Ning Qi's strengths. He suggested that Ning Qi be appointed as the official in charge of agriculture in Da Si Tian. He believed that Ning Qi was a talented agricultural expert and he was not as good as Ning Qi. Ning Qi was then responsible for Qi's agricultural production, presiding over the reclamation of farmland, the construction of water conservancy, and the development of fishery and salt. Rewarding land reclamation and collecting rents and taxes, Qi soon became rich and powerful.
During Ning Qi's tenure in Qi, he often visited the eastern part of Qi State and organized people to develop farming. He was loved by the local people. After his death, he was buried on the east bank of Jiaoshui (in today's Magozhuang Town, Pingdu).
Ning Qi authored one volume of "Xiangniu Jing", which was China's earliest animal husbandry monograph and played a certain role in promoting the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in Qi.
Doctor Jimo was a native of Qi during the Warring States Period, and his name was lost. During the reign of King Qi Wei, he was the local governor of Jimo and had outstanding political achievements.
He was honest and diligent. In just a few years, he opened up wasteland and cultivated land in Jimo, maintained social order, and made local residents live a prosperous and comfortable life. Because he was upright and upright and did not try to please a group of corrupt officials, King Qi Wei's powerful officials were very unhappy, so they slandered the Jimo officials with slanderous words.
King Qi Wei promptly sent people to investigate the words and deeds of Dr. Jimo and clarified right and wrong. King Qi Wei not only did not listen to the slanderous words of powerful ministers, but also greatly rewarded the Jimo doctor for "conferring him to thousands of families". In anger, King Wei of Qi killed the treacherous doctor and denounced the corrupt officials.
From then on, the state of Qi prospered and turned from weakness to strength. Jimo's statement was greatly promoted, and its strength was also greatly enhanced during the development. In the old days, there was a "Nine Sages Temple" built in Jimo, and Jimo officials ranked first among the Nine Sages. There is a sculpture of him in Jinma Mountain Park.
Tian Dan (date of birth and death unknown) was born in Linzi and was a famous general of the Qi State during the Warring States Period. During the reign of King Qi Min, he served as a minor official in charge of the market, and his achievements were mediocre.
King Min of Qi was arrogant and unruly, so King Zhao of Yan teamed up with other princes to conspire against him. General Le Yi marched eastward with a powerful momentum like a rainbow, destroying more than 70 cities in Qi and even Linzi, the capital of Qi. Captured.
King Min of Qi abandoned the capital and went to Ju, but was later killed by Naochi. Naochi defended against Yan, but the city still survived. The Yan army had to concentrate its forces to attack Jimo, which was still defended by the Qi people. The Jimo doctor died in the battle outside the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city elected Tian Dan, a wise and courageous general, to continue to defend the city against the Yan.
Tian Dan bravely took up the important task of commanding the defense of the city and commanded the army and the people to unite to defend against the enemy. The city of Jimo was well defended and had sufficient food and fodder, which was helpful for the defense. Yan General Leyi besieged the city for five years without being able to capture it.
After the death of King Zhao of Yan, his son King Hui took over. Tian Dannai plotted to alienate the relationship between King Hui and Yan general Le Yi. King Hui was fooled and sent someone to replace Le Yi, which was relatively weakened. External pressure on Jimo.
Tian Dan actively deployed counterattacks in the city. He said he conveyed the will of God and issued orders to strengthen the belief in military-civilian struggle. He personally participated in the construction of fortifications, arranged for all his family members to enlist in the army, and fought against the fate of the people. He lurked his power, and sent old, weak, women and children to guard the city, pretending to be weak. He sent rich men and others to the Yan camp to offer bribes and pretend to surrender, thus relaxing the vigilance of the Yan army. In short, Tian Dan was well prepared to outwit him.
More than 1,000 cows in the city were dressed in colorful clothes, with sharp knives tied to their horns, and reeds filled with grease were tied to their tails. After they were lit one by one, the cows sprang out from the caves in the city wall, followed by 5,000 strong men. Killing towards the Yan army barracks in the dark night. The old and weak in the city beat bronze vessels to build momentum. The Yan army was shocked, and then dispersed and collapsed. Countless Yan soldiers died in the rebellion.
The Qi army took advantage of the victory to pursue them, many cities were captured, and more than 70 cities were recovered by Qi.
Tian Dan defeated Yan and used the ingenious plan of Fire Bull Formation, which left a good story in Chinese military history of the weak defeating the strong. It is also a very elegant part of the history of the ancient city of Jimo.
Xu Fu, also known as Xu Shi, also named Junfang, was an alchemist in the Qin Dynasty. According to research. His ancestor was a descendant of Boyi Ziruomu during the reign of Xia Yu. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, he was granted the title of Xu due to his meritorious service and took the surname Xu.
Xu Fu was born in the 10th year of King Jian of Qi (225 BC). There are many theories about Xu Fu’s hometown because there are no clear records in historical books. There is a saying in Xufu Village, Jinshan Township, Ganyu County, Jiangsu Province today. According to the analysis of Xu Xiang, Longkou City, Shandong Province, Xufu Village, Pingdu City, Shandong Province, and Jiaonan City, Shandong Province, Xu Fu's hometown may be in the area near Langyatai, Jiaonan City today, and the Xu Family Village is probably Xu Fu's. hometown.
Xu Fu studied Confucianism, yin and yang and the five elements, Taoism and alchemy when he was young. After he grew up, he made a living by practicing medicine and preaching. He traveled with his father Xu Menghuan to the Qi State and made many friends.
Xu Fu was dissatisfied with Qin Shihuang's use of force to conquer the six kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Yan, Wei, Chu, and Qi, so he made a plan to write to Qin Shihuang in the name of seeking immortality and collecting medicine, requesting to cross eastward. Pingyuan Guangze, stop the king from coming." This was Xu Fu's way of taking advantage of Qin Shihuang's superstitious psychology to oppose Qin Dynasty, which objectively promoted the friendly exchanges between the Chinese and Japanese people.
In the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor (219 BC), Qin Shihuang went on tour for the second time and climbed to Langyatai for the first time to watch the illusory mirage and wonders, which made his desire to become an immortal even stronger. Xu Fu and other alchemists deceived Qin Shihuang by saying that he could ask the immortals for the elixir of immortality at the three holy mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou on the sea.
Xu Fu's petition fell into the favor of Qin Shihuang, so he selected thousands of boys and girls for training, and built ships near Langyatai to prepare for sailing from Langya Port.
In the twenty-ninth year of the First Emperor (218 BC), Qin Shihuang made his third tour. The second time I went to Langyatai, I wanted to see Xu Fu and learn about seeking the elixir of immortality, but I didn't see Xu Fu.
In the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor (210 BC), Qin Shihuang made his fifth tour and visited Langyatai for the third time. He summoned Xu Fu and asked for the results of the elixir. Xu Fu claimed that there was a giant mackerel in the sea causing trouble and hindering the movement of the fleet. Qin Shihuang believed this reason, so he selected a crossbowman who was good at shooting, took boys and girls, as well as various craftsmen and grains, and set off from Langya Port.
When they arrived at Zhifu, Qin Shi Huang personally shot a shark to death with his crossbowmen, and then went to the west of the sea. According to analysis, Xu Fu led his fleet through the Miaodao Islands, across the Bohai Sea, along the Liaodong Peninsula to the Korean Peninsula, and then south across the Korean Strait to Japan.
Today, the Japanese people generally respect Xu Fu as the god of agriculture, industry, textiles and medicine. Buildings commemorating Xu Fu have been built in many areas, and memorial services are held on time.

The 500 soldiers who stayed on the island all committed suicide after hearing the news. It is said in history that Tian Heng's 500 soldiers were martyred. The island where he lived was called Tianheng Island by later generations. There was an old Jiuxian Temple in Jimo, and Tian Heng was also among them. Tian Heng's spirit of loyalty is still valued by people today.
Fu Zhan, whose courtesy name was Huigong, was a native of Dongwu, Langya County (now Zhucheng, Shandong Province). At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, he served as the governor of Pingyuan. After Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion to teach and educate people.

Agriculture is the foundation of ancient society. All dynasties have attached great importance to astronomical and calendar matters. In the era of Emperor Yao, there is a record of "ordering Xihe to calender the sun, moon and stars, and to teach the people the time." Later in the Spring and Autumn Period At that time, social unrest caused chaos in the calendar, and the Qin Dynasty unified China but did not have time to unify and revise the calendar.

Zheng Xuan (127-200), courtesy name Kangcheng, was born in Gaomi, Beihai, Han Dynasty (now Gaomi City, Shandong). He has been diligent and studious since he was a child. He is proficient in music and is good at playing the piano and harp. He was able to recite the Five Classics at the age of 13 and was known as a "child prodigy". He was highly regarded by Du Mi, the Prime Minister of Beihai at that time, and was recommended to study at Taixue.
Zheng Xuan first studied Jinwen "Gongyang Chunqiu", "Santong Li" and so on. He also studied "Book of Rites", "Zuo Shi's Spring and Autumn Annals", "Guwen Shangshu", etc., and became a teacher everywhere, and his knowledge greatly increased.
In the first year of Emperor Huan's founding of the Han Dynasty (147 AD), Zheng Xuan studied under the Fifth Yuanxian and Zhang Gongzu, and later traveled to You, Bing, Henan, and Yan states. He was erudite and talented, and was famous throughout the nine states. . In the ninth year of Yanxi (AD 159), Zheng Xuanxi entered the Pass and worshiped Ma Rong as his disciple together with Lu Zhi of Zhuojun for seven years. In the ninth year of Yanxi (AD 166), Zheng Xuan returned to his hometown. He was determined to study, was enthusiastic about teaching and educating people, and was determined to organize and spread Confucian classics and use etiquette and justice to control unrest. Later, he was persecuted due to party imprisonment and lost his freedom for 14 years. During the period of injustice, Zheng Xuan paid no attention to worldly affairs and political disputes, and devoted himself to the study of Confucian classics, making great progress in his knowledge.
After the party's imprisonment was lifted, Zheng Xuan lectured and taught apprentices in Gaomi. After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Zheng Xuan and his disciples moved to Buqi Mountain in Jiaodong (now Tieqi Mountain in Chengyang District, Qingdao) to take refuge in seclusion. He established an academy in the mountains, where he gave lectures and compiled ancient historical documents. At the same time, he recorded his achievements in studying the classics for most of his life, wrote books, and attracted thousands of scholars.
The academy is known as Kangcheng Academy. It leans against Buqi Mountain to the north and Mok River to the south. Due to the lack of data, it is difficult to study the scale and structure of the academy when it was first built. However, Zheng Xuan had great influence and fame. Considering the large number of followers, it is a very decent cultural place.
Afterwards, the nearby residential area was also called Shuyuan Village, and the small village in the north of the village was called "Yanli Village", where Zheng Xuan taught and performed etiquette to his followers.
It is said that when Zheng Xuan was lecturing and writing at Kangcheng Academy, he often went to the fields near the academy to collect some grass leaves for weaving bamboo slips. This kind of grass, Ophiopogon japonicus, is quite special, with wide and long leaves, very tough, and evergreen all year round. Legend has it that Zheng Xuan used this kind of straw rope to tie up books, which was of great help to Zheng Xuan's reading. Later, people called this kind of "Kangcheng Shudai", also known as "Shudaicao". It is said that the Buqishan area of ??Mount Laoshan was "rich in literature and rich in ink, and the vegetation was beautiful" due to the lectures given by Kangcheng Academy.
Later, natural disasters occurred in the Buqishan area where Kangcheng Academy is located, and food was extremely scarce. The academy faced great difficulties. In order to reduce the burden, Zheng Xuan left Laoshan and went to Xuzhou. In the fifth year of Emperor Xian's reign (AD 200), Zheng Xuan was forced to fight with the army due to illness, and died of illness in Yuancheng (today's east of Daming County, Hebei Province).
Zheng Xuan was a very influential master of Confucian classics in ancient China. His academic achievements were called "Zheng Xue" by later generations. He left many valuable works for future generations. For example, the "Book of Songs", "National Rites", "Rituals" and "Book of Rites" with his annotations were valued by later generations. Kangcheng Academy pioneered the style of village learning and left valuable wealth for the ancient culture of Qingdao area.
Faxian (about 337 to about 442) was a monk and explorer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His common surname was Long, from Wuyang, Pingyang (now Xiangyuan, Shanxi). The pioneer of Chinese monks studying abroad in Tianzhu. In the third year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 399), he traveled west from Chang'an to Tianzhu to seek scriptures and study Buddhism.

Wang Ji (? 1484), courtesy name Ziyang, was born in Langyagaoyu (now part of Jimo) in the Western Han Dynasty. He was fond of studying since he was a child, and eventually entered the official career. He was awarded the title of Youcheng of Ruolu County for his filial piety and honesty. Soon he was promoted to the county magistrate of Yunyang, and Xianliang was promoted to the lieutenant of the king of Changyi.
Historical records record that when Wang Ji was studying in Chang'an, the branches of the jujube tree of his neighbor's house in the east hung down to his yard, so Wang Ji's wife picked a few jujubes for Wang Ji to eat. Wang Ji later learned about this situation and divorced his wife who was greedy for money and harmed others. Later, the neighbor was deeply disturbed and wanted to cut down the jujube tree. After some persuasion from the neighbors, Wang Jicai brought his wife back home and calmed down the turmoil. Wang Ji's integrity and rigor were praised by people. "When the boss's family has trees, Wang Yang's wife goes away. When the boss's jujubes are finished, the wife returns after leaving", which has become a good story.
Wang Ji is not afraid of power and is upright, and his spirit of loyalty and daring to remonstrate is also extraordinary. When he was the lieutenant of the king of Changyi, Liu He, the king of Changyi, indulged in wine and sex, enjoyed hunting, and neglected government affairs, which made the people burdened with heavy labor and caused widespread complaints. Wang Ji went to Shuli many times to advise Liu He to be considerate of the people, to be diligent in state affairs, to be sensible and sensible, and to develop a heart of patriotism and loyalty to the emperor. Although this was not adopted, later generations praised his loyalty.
After the death of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, the general Huo Guang came to power and Liu He was welcomed as the emperor. Wang Ji once again admonished Liu He to correct his deviation, but it still had no effect. The fatuous Liu He was deposed after only 27 days of proclaiming himself emperor, and those bureaucrats who specialized in flattery were often punished. Wang Ji was different from other ministers and was spared.
Furthermore, Wang Ji was appointed as a doctor to advise the doctors by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. He still cared about the country and the people, never forgetting his heavy responsibilities and having the courage to shoulder his responsibilities. At that time, the central government was in chaos, lacked rules and regulations, had few famous ministers, and nepotism was prevalent among the powerful. The situation was worrying. Wang Ji sent letters to the emperor many times to urge the emperor to abolish the system of yinxi, select talents and appoint talents, rectify the administration of officials, promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages, and revitalize the imperial court. His generous speeches and full reasoning impressed the people of the time, but he could not impress the pedantic emperor. His sincerity was not appreciated, and he was looked down upon with cold eyes. This made Wang Ji, who had the heart to serve the country but no way to serve the country, very sad. . Wang Ji was disheartened when he saw this and had no interest in official career. Therefore, he used illness as an excuse to retire from his hometown. Living idle in his hometown, he had no savings, and his food and clothing were the same as those of the common people. Wang Ji still thought about the fate of the country and the people, and became ill from worries.
After Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, he summoned Wang Ji to serve as an official in the court. He fell ill and went to Chang'an, but unfortunately died of illness on the way.
The present Han Dynasty tombs in Jimo Hot Spring are large in scale and are actually the tombs of the family of Wang Ji, a famous minister of the Western Han Dynasty.
Cai Qi (988-1039), courtesy name Zisi, was a native of Jiaoshui County, Laizhou, Northern Song Dynasty. In the eighth year of Dazhong Xiangfu's reign (AD 1015), Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty won the first prize in the examination. From his articles to his appearance, he was appreciated and loved by Zhenzong. He is the only number one pick in Pingdu history.
In the second year of Tianxi (1018 AD), Cai Qi was called to Beijing and served as the author of Jixian Academy. He was later promoted to Yousijian, Geishizhong, Hanlin bachelor, and Shidu bachelor. As always, he had an upright reputation and offended powerful people. He was dismissed from his official position in the Imperial Academy and was sent to Mizhou (today's cities in Shandong). After Cai Qi took office, he devoted himself to disaster relief and rescued the people. He petitioned the court to exempt the local people from the tax and grain arrears for many years. With approval, the "salt ban" was lifted, and the victims who had been suffering from consecutive droughts gained life. Later, Cai entered the capital and was promoted to the right to admonish the officials and censor Zhongcheng. After Song Renzong came to power, Cai Qi was promoted to Deputy Privy Envoy. In the second year of Emperor Jing's reign (AD 1035), he was promoted to Minister of Rites and participated in political affairs. He was an important official in the imperial court. His level and ability have been demonstrated in the decision-making of many major events.
At that time, the Yellow River was in serious danger, and many officials advocated blocking the breach. Cai Qi conducted in-depth research and put forward the opposite opinion. He believed that the terrain north of the old river channel was low-lying, and it would be unfavorable to use the old road if the breach was blocked. The best strategy is to follow the flow of water. Not only can we avoid another collapse for a long time, but we can also move large areas such as Beizhou and Bozhou to the south of the Yellow River. Therefore, the proposition is reasonable and feasible, and after being adopted, it has achieved good results.
The northern neighbor Khitan stationed troops on the border with the intention of invading, and the Northern Song Dynasty court was shocked. The DPRK agreed to send troops to prepare for war and strengthen border defense. Cai Qi did not blindly follow the opinions of the public, but made a rational analysis, pointing out that "Khitan will never rebel against the alliance", and proposed three practical contingency measures, so that the Northern Song Dynasty could prepare plans for various situations that might arise and deal with tense situations calmly. , showing his courage and courage in the face of danger.
Cai Qi is knowledgeable and generous.
When he was the privy envoy, more than 800 people from Jiaozhi surrendered. He proposed to accept them and resettle them in the Jinghu area to reclaim wasteland. He believed that if proper arrangements were not made, these people would inevitably cause trouble. However, most of the DPRK advocates refused to accept these "barbarians". Later, these desperate people finally became a factor of instability in the southwest border. At this time, Cai Qi's attitude was just to blame himself for failing to convince his colleagues.
In the summer of the fourth year of Jingyou (AD 1037), due to disagreements with powerful ministers, Cai Qi resigned from the post of prime minister and returned to his post as Minister of Household Affairs. Later, he went out to Zhiyingzhou.
On April 4, the second year of Baoyuan (AD 1039), Cai Qi died of illness. Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and other well-known scholars wrote biographies and tomb lists for him, affirming his integrity and deeds.

In 1221, Genghis Khan heard the name of Qiu Chuji and ordered his ministers to ask for it. Regardless of his old age, Qiu Chuji set out from Laizhou and traveled westward to meet Genghis Khan in the snowy mountains (in today's Afghanistan). Qiu pointed out Genghis Khan's great cause of "bending the bow and shooting the eagle": "If you want to rule the world, you must not be addicted to killing people." The rule of the world should be based on "respecting heaven and loving the people." Genghis Khan thought highly of Qiu Chuji and gave him the title "Immortal", making him in charge of Taoism in the world.
In the spring of 1224, Qiu Chuji went to Dadu and entered Tianchang Temple, where he presided over the palace. He and his disciples raised money to repair the temple and renamed it Changchun Palace (now known as Baiyun Temple), which brought the Quanzhen Sect to its heyday and influenced later generations. , enduring.
Qiu Chuji visited Laoshan Mountain many times in his life to visit and preach, and made great contributions to the promotion of Laoshan Taoism.
In the first year of Qingyuan of the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1195), Taoists such as Qiu Chuji, Liu Chuxuan and others came from Kunlun Mountain to Laoshan Mountain to preach Taoism at Taiqing Palace and other places, which greatly delighted the Taoists. This was Qiu Chuji's first visit to Laoshan. He stayed for a short time and left some poems before leaving.
Qiu Chuji came to Laoshan for the second time. In the eighth year of Taihe (1208 AD) of Emperor Zhangzong of Jin Dynasty, he transferred from Changyang (today's Laiyang) to Laoshan and left a poem on the forehead of Bailong Cave in the north of Taiping Palace. 20 songs. He changed the name of Laoshan Mountain to "Aoshan Mountain" because it looked like a giant turtle.
In the first year of Jin Da'an (1209 AD), Qiu Chuji came to Laoshan from Jiaoxi (now Jiaozhou), preached and preached everywhere, and left stone carvings at many places of interest.
In addition to the three times mentioned above, it is said that Qiu Chuji also visited Laoshan several times. In short, Qiu Chuji loved Laoshan and left poems, stone carvings and missionary achievements in Laoshan.
