The history and origin of Qingzhou?

The name of Qingzhou first appeared in "Shang Shu Yu Gong": "Haidai is Qingzhou", which is one of the ancient "Nine States". In ancient times, it was the land of Dongyi. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, it was successively occupied by the Shuangjiu family, Ji Ze family and Pang Boling family. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Lu Shang was granted the title of Marquis of Qi, and the land returned to Qi.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, they all belonged to Qi. Qin unified the world and established Qi County. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty (106 BC), Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty established the Qingzhou Prefectural History Department, which was stationed in Guang County and was called Qingzhou City. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms, Qingzhou City was an important city in the East.

In the fifth year of Yongjia (311 years) of Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty, Cao Yi abandoned Guang County and built Guanggu, and became the governor of Qingzhou. In the third year of Emperor Long'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (399), Murong De fell into Guanggu and made it the capital of Nanyan. In the sixth year of Yixi (410), Liu Yu destroyed Nanyan, conquered Guanggu, built Dongyang City, and appointed the governor of Beiqingzhou to rule here.
