Why is Qingdao a national historical and cultural city in history?

China's 5,000-year history has produced some cities that are famous for their profound cultural heritage and major historical events. Some of these cities were once the capitals of dynasties; Some were political and economic centers at that time; Some are places where major historical events took place; Some are famous for their precious cultural relics; Others are famous for producing exquisite handicrafts. Their existence has opened a window for people today to review the history of China.

1982 In February, the concept of "historical and cultural city" was formally put forward in order to protect important cities and their cultural relics that were once the political, economic and cultural centers of ancient times or the places where modern revolutionary movements and major historical events took place. According to the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Cultural Relics, a "famous historical and cultural city" refers to a city with particularly rich cultural relics and great historical and cultural value and revolutionary significance.

From the administrative division, a famous historical and cultural city is not necessarily a city, but also a county or district.

By the end of 20 16, 12 and 16, the State Council has listed 13 1 cities (here, Qiongshan City has been merged into Haikou City, and the two cities are counted as one), and the cultural relics of these cities have been specially protected.

Although Qingdao's history was short and its prosperity was late, it was occupied by Japan and Germany in modern times. The May 4th Movement in China fought against it, which was of great historical significance and left many historical sites and cultures. Now, as an important port city, it also plays an important role in China's economy, so it is understandable to be selected as the third batch of "National Historical and Cultural Cities" in 1994!
