The history of Jinan
The origin of Jinan's name

Jinan, the earliest inland city in China, 1904 opened for trade. It has been 100 years, but Jinan, as one of the oldest ancient cities in China, has a history of more than 1,000 years, and the recorded history is about 2,600 and 4,600 years. However, no matter which one, it is enough to explain Jinan's long history and profound cultural accumulation.

But for thousands of years, the name of Jinan has been changing, and the area of Jinan City is also expanding day by day.

The history of renaming Jinan is actually a history of Jinan's development.

The original origin of the name Jinan is because it is located in the south of Jishui (river) (just like ancient Henan and Hebei meant the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Yellow River), which is a general geographical orientation and a neutral concept.

In ancient times, Jishui was composed of Baotu Spring and other springs, located in the north of Jinan. Because of its age, its channel has been eroded by the present Yellow River, and now it does not exist.

However, in terms of humanities, Jinan and Shandong have always been regarded as a state of etiquette, which is related to geographical location.

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), Jinan was located at the junction of Qilu in the east and was deeply influenced by Qilu culture. However, it belongs to Qi State in administrative division and is called Luoyi. During the Warring States Period (475-22 BC1), it was changed to Li Xiayi.

It was changed to Jinan County in the Western Han Dynasty. Since then, the name "Jinan" has gone down in history.

When Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty changed Jinan into a country.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jinan was renamed qi zhou or Qixian.

However, since the establishment of Jinan Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty, the subsequent Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty have not changed much.

Jinan began to become the capital of Shandong Province, which can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty.

After the Revolution of 1911, Beiyang changed Jinan Prefecture to Jinan Road, but the name change was not long.

1928, General Zhang Xueliang led his troops to change the flag in the northeast, surrendered to the national * *, and the national * * officially unified China. 1929, Jinan Road was changed to Jinan City, and Jinan City in the modern sense was formally formed.

But the jurisdiction is very different from now.

From 65438 to 0948, Jinan was liberated and became a special city, and Licheng was incorporated into Jinan, which expanded the urban area of Jinan.

In 1980s, Changqing and Zhangqiu, as two suburban counties, were placed under the management of Jinan. In the 1990s, Shanghe, Pingyin and Jiyang were successively placed under the jurisdiction of Jinan, and the jurisdiction of Jinan was further expanded.

Entering the new century, in 2002, Changqing was upgraded from a county under the jurisdiction of Jinan to a district of Jinan, which created good conditions for the large-scale development of western Jinan.

Jinan has simple folk customs and rich products since ancient times.

The geographical position is superior, with the Yellow Sea in the east, the Central Plains in the back, East China in the south and Tianjin in the north. Has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Now, with the implementation of Jinan's strategic plan of "expanding eastward and westward, controlling northward and expanding westward", Jinan is bound to usher in a great development period.

The origin of Jinan street name

"Beijing Wei San II", "Beijing Qi Wei Yi" and "Beijing Wei San Ba" ... If you are visiting Jinan for the first time, you may be curious: "How did Jinan people think of naming roads with latitude and longitude?" "Why is the latitude and longitude of Jinan just opposite to the latitude and longitude of geographical coordinates?" This will start with the opening of Jinan.

1904, in order to develop Jinan's economy, the Qing Dynasty designated Jinan as a commercial port, starting from Shiwangdian in the east, Hu Aishu in Peking University in the west, Changqing Avenue (now Qi Jing Road) in the south, and the railway in the north (now Jingyi Road), with an area of about five miles from east to west and two miles from north to south.

At the same time, plan Jingwei Road in Shangbu District.

As we know, the textile industry in China was very developed in ancient times. Our ancestors called long lines longitude and short lines latitude.

Therefore, according to the name of "fabric", "the elder is the warp and the shorter is the weft", the east-west road is named "warp" and the north-south road is named "weft", which basically intersects with the warp.

The naming of Jingwei Road reflects the prosperity of textile industry in Jinan at that time.

/kloc-naming roads with textiles more than 0/00 years ago was unique not only at that time, but also now.
