Jinan has a long history and is the birthplace of prehistoric culture "Longshan Culture". There are ruins of Chengziya in Neolithic Age in this area, including the Great Wall of Qi before Qin Changcheng, as well as the painted Luohan in Song Dynasty and the Giant Buddha in Sui Dynasty (located in the Giant Buddha Village in Licheng District, built in Sui Dynasty, which is the largest Buddha statue in Shandong). China's first collection of poems, The Book of Songs, contains Tan Ren's satirical poem Dadong, which is the earliest extant document about Jinan. 1986 12 was declared as a national historical and cultural city by the State Council.
Shun (about the 22nd century BC) once "fished and plowed in Lishan". Lishan is the Qianfo Mountain in the south of Lixia District, Jinan City. Therefore, there are various names scattered in cities named after Shun, such as Shungeng Road, Shunhua Road and Shungeng Mountain.
In the Shang Dynasty, which entered the slave society, the social productive forces were highly developed. In the area of Chengziya, Tan Kingdom was established. At the end of Shang Dynasty, the word "Lu (Ⅱ)" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions when the barbarians conquered Dongyi represented Baotu Spring today, thus tracing the historical record of Jinan Spring back to 3552 years ago (namely 1542 BC).
After the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the enfeoffment system was implemented, and Jinan belonged to Qi State. At this point, Tan Guo still exists. One of China's first poetry anthology, The Book of Songs, is Dadong, which is the earliest extant document about Jinan in China. The author is a doctor in Tan Guo.
Qin: After Qin Shihuang unified the world, the county system was established. Today, Jinan City belongs to Jibei County, which is called Li Xiayi.
