Worship the ancestors of the sun

Yantai is one of the earliest areas for human reproduction. In the southwest of Zhifu District, Yantai City, about 1.5 kilometers away from the coast, it is a small harbor 7,000 years ago, where Baishi people, whose main livelihood is the combination of sea fishing and agricultural production, created splendid prehistoric culture. Neolithic stone axes, shovels, stone net pendants, triangular foot-basin-shaped tripod, bone needles and other artifacts unearthed from Baishizhai site have cultural characteristics along the coast of Jiaodong. The bone tool was polished very finely, and the bone needle was close to the later steel needle, indicating that the grinding, weaving and sewing technology at that time had reached a higher level. The cultural relics unearthed in Changdao County show that it is one of the birthplaces of Dawenkou culture more than 5,000 years ago and Longshan culture more than 4,000 years ago. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties more than 4,000 ~ 2,500 years ago, Yantai coastal area was one of the important areas where Dongyi people lived. Dongyi people not only have developed fishery and salt industry, but also have active commodity circulation. On a pottery unearthed in Long Island, there are seven or eight suns carved on it, which repeatedly depicts the light emitted by the sun, indicating that Dongyi people are ancestors who worship the sun very much.

The place where Qin Shihuang made three eastward expeditions.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he made three expeditions to the East, leaving footprints in Yantai. The first time Qin Shihuang traveled eastward was in 2 19 BC. The 40-year-old Qin Shihuang traveled eastward along the Bohai Bay and visited the eastern coastal areas in search of the elixir of life. On the way, he met Xu Fu. Xu Fu provided him with the way to live forever, and said that there are "Three Gods Mountain" in Penglai, Yingzhou and the abbot in the sea, where immortals live in the royal pavilion and fairy grass grows. Qin Shihuang believed it, so he sent Xu Fu to lead thousands of boys and girls to the sea in a big ship to ask for fairy medicine. The following year, Qin Shihuang visited the East for the second time. Boarded Zhifu Island, carved a stone and erected a monument, praising his literary martial arts. In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang was nearly 50 years old, and his desire for longevity became stronger and stronger. He found Xu Fu on his third trip to the East. Chui fook was furious when he saw Qin Shihuang, and lied that there were big fish in the sea, so he couldn't reach Xianshan himself. Qin Shihuang was eager for success, so he set up a crossbow to chase the big fish. When I arrived in Zhifu, I finally found a big fish and killed it myself. When Xu Fugang set sail for the sea and arrived in Japan, he opened the first page of foreign exchange in China's history. Qin Shihuang wanted to live forever, but he finally failed. However, he left some relics on Zhifu Island, such as The First Emperor's Road and Two Views on Carving Stones. The Yangzhu Temple, one of the "Eight Masters" worshipped by Qin Shihuang, was built on the sunny slope of Zhifu Island.

Together with Guangzhou, Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, it is also known as the four major trading ports, and it is the main port for the north to go overseas. Japan sent an envoy of the Tang Dynasty 13 times to the Tang Dynasty to seek development, and landed in Zhifu for the first time. In the fourth year of Chunhua (AD 979), Song Taizong's mission to Korea was also initiated by Zhifu. China's silk, iron smelting, paper making and other technologies were introduced from Yantai to Korea, Japan and other places, so Yantai was also known as the starting point of the "Silk Road" at sea. The ancient port of Dengzhou is one of the most prosperous ports in the ancient north of China. Penglai Watertown, also known as Yubao City, was built in the ninth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1376), and it is the most intact ancient military port in China.
