During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, Qi was the most powerful country in China. 1 1 century BC. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty appointed Jiang Taigong to establish the Qi State and rule Yingqiu. Qi culture refers to the culture established in the specific historical stage from the establishment of Qi State in Yingqiu (about 1 1 century BC) to Qin Shihuang's extinction of Tian Qi Jian (22 1 year BC). It began in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, formed in the Spring and Autumn Period and reached its peak in the Warring States Period. It is an ancient cultural type, with strong regionality and the characteristics of early eastern coastal civilization, rich in content and far-reaching influence.
2680 years ago, Qi Huangong, the monarch of Qi, appointed Guan Zhong, a famous thinker and economist, as prime minister, adopted his thoughts of governing the country, reformed economic policies and developed economic exchanges with other vassal states. In just a few decades, Qi became the country with the strongest economic and military strength at that time and the first of the five tyrants. Linzi District of Zibo City, as the capital of Qi State for 638 years, was the largest city in the east at that time. Qi is a place with a prosperous culture, which is famous for its tolerance and academic freedom. Many thinkers and writers, such as Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi and Qu Yuan, have come to the State of Qi to lobby and give lectures many times, and set up the "Xia Ji Gong Xue" outside the Jiyumen of Linzi City. The peak of "Talk after Governance" reached several hundred thousand, which is the origin of the famous theory of "A hundred schools of thought contend" in the history of China. Qi's poetry, music and other artistic standards are very high. Confucius' eternal story of "I don't know the taste of meat in March" embodies the elegant beauty of Qi music.
As the birthplace of the famous Qi culture, Zibo has many human landscapes. In Linzi, a famous national historical and cultural city, famous cultural relics such as the ruins of Qi ancient city, Liemakeng and Chemakeng have been excavated successively, which fully demonstrated the prosperity of Qi in the past.

There are two national key cultural relics protection units and six provincial key cultural relics protection units. 1990, the excavation of Li Chunqiu's sacrificial chariot pit was listed as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in China that year. Linzi District was named "National Historical and Cultural City" by the State Council in 1994.
