Which part of Shandong was the ancient "Qi" and "Lu"?

Qi is located in Shandong Peninsula, which is much bigger than Lu. In the Warring States period, Lu was annexed by Qi.

The formation of Qi territory has a historical development process. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiang Qi and Warring States replaced Tian Qi's frontier territory, which was a gradual development process from small to large and from weak to strong, but it was always in a dynamic state throughout its generations. According to documents and archaeological data, the change and expansion of its territory has roughly experienced three main development periods.

1, the territory of Jiang Qi in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

"Historical Records" contains: "Chyi Chin entered Chu, and some people were in Zhou, which was very small, or sealed for a hundred miles, or sealed for fifty miles." "Mencius Gaozi" also records: "The seal of Taigong is in Qi, which is a hundred miles."

According to the above documents, the territory of Taigong in the early Zhou Dynasty was only a small country in Fiona Fang.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the territory of Baili was sealed, covering Linzi, Guangrao, Boxing and Huantai in the north of Zibo today. The squire sealed off the camp hill of the capital of Qi State and looked around Huantai Grange.

2. The changing process of the territory of Qi from west to east in the Spring and Autumn Period;

By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the territory of the State of Qi had already included the present Jiaodong Peninsula, Liaocheng in the west and Taiyi Mountain in the south, and it had become a real oriental power.

Regarding the southern boundary of Qi, many scholars take the generation of Yin as the boundary, but it is not. According to the latest archaeological data and documents, the southern part of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period was not limited to the shadow of Tai Dai, but Xiangcheng in Henan, Yitai Yishan, Yanggu, Ningyang, Tai 'an, Yishui and Gaomi in Shandong were also within the territory of Qi. In recent years, the Qi currency, weapons and Qi pottery with seals unearthed within the above scope can be proved.

3. The comprehensive expansion of Qi's territory during the Warring States Period;

During the Warring States period, the Jiang regime of Qi State was replaced by Tian, known as Tian Qi in history. In the early Warring States period, the territory of Qi was slightly similar to that of the late Spring and Autumn Period. During the Wei, Xuan and Qi Dynasties, the State of Qi was strong for a while, and Shi Zaiqi was "stronger than the vassal" at this time, so he resumed the strategy of external expansion. The spearhead is directed at Lu, Wei and Song in the west, and Yan in the north, expanding territory in all directions. It generally owns Xiangling, Guanguan (now Qingfeng South, Henan Province) and Sancho (now southwest of xushui county, Hebei Province) in Anyang (now Feixian County), DuDu (now Yanzhou and Surabaya), Ju (now Juxian County) and Zou County. Before 34 1 in 353 BC, Qi defeated Wei Jun twice in the battle between Guiling and Maling (see Wei Ce's Warring States Policy). In the fifteenth year of King Min, the Song Dynasty was destroyed, accounting for more than 500 Li of the Song Dynasty. At this time, the territory of Qi extends to the west of Tianjin in the north, to the east of Henan in the west, and to the vicinity of Shandong in Anhui and Jiangsu in the south. "Historical Records Tian Jia Zhong" contains: "The place is more than 2,000 miles, the city is 120, and there are hundreds of thousands of armour, and the millet is like a hill." At that time, due to the powerful influence of Qi, "all the kings of Zou Lu, all the kings of business, were smooth and all the kings were afraid." The prosperity and large-scale external expansion of Qi forced the six countries to jointly divide Qi, and even broke its Linzi, occupying more than 70 cities in Qi. Five years later, although Tian Dan, the general of Qi State, defeated Yan State and restored the country, Qi State declined from then on, unable to compete with it, and was finally destroyed by Qin State in 22 1 BC.
