Tai 'an City is located at the southern foot of Mount Tai, with Daiyue's death behind it as a barrier, with water as a baby passing in front of it, Haoli Mountain as a crouching tiger on its back, and Xihe River and Nai River as two dragons flowing from left to right, which is superior to Qilu in shape.
Where did Tai 'an City in history originate? What was it like in ancient times? There was a folk saying that "there was an old county first, then there was an old county, and three people moved to Tai 'an".
When did it migrate to the southern foot of Mount Tai? There may be many people who want to know the truth.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Mount Tai belonged to the territory of Qilu, with two cities, Win and Bo. Boyi at the southern foot of Mount Tai, called Boyang in Qin Dynasty, has long been an important administrative center of Wenhe Plain. Taishan County was established here in the early Han Dynasty.
Although Mount Tai is within its jurisdiction, it cannot be regarded as the predecessor of Tai 'an City, because there was no direct connection between Boyi and Mount Tai at that time. The predecessor of Tai 'an City should be Gao Feng County established by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
According to Supplementary Notes on Geography of Hanshu, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accepted Zen, and at the junction of winning and Bo, this county was cut as Mount Tai, so it was called Gao Feng." There are similar records in Tai 'an local chronicles.
Regarding the location of Gaofeng City, there are two opinions: one is that Gao Feng City is near Xie Guocheng, fifteen miles northeast of Tai 'an City, near the Hamming Hall; Another way of saying it is: Gao Feng is at the intersection of Wenying River and Mouwen River, that is, Guxian Village, about 50 miles east of Tai 'an today.
