Qingzhou is located in Weifang City, Shandong Province, and is now a county-level city in Weifang City. Qingzhou has a long history of compiling local chronicles, which are recorded in ancient books, such as Biography of Qingzhou Sages in Jin Dynasty, Local Records in Song Dynasty, and Qingzhou Tujing. In the Yuan Dynasty, Yu Qin's Qi Cheng was actually a local chronicle of ancient Qingzhou. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qingzhou local chronicles became a common practice, and more than a dozen Qingzhou local chronicles and Yidu county chronicles were compiled successively.
Qingzhou government records have been compiled during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, but they have not been handed down. Today, there are Jiajing Qingzhou government in Qing Dynasty, Wanli Qingzhou government, Kangxi Guichou Qingzhou government in Qing Dynasty, Kangxi 19 added Qingzhou government, Kangxi Xin Chou added Qingzhou government, and Xianfeng Qingzhou government. There is also Yongzheng's "Qingzhou County Records Excerpt".
