History is everywhere, and forgetting it means betrayal. Today, we will start from Qingdao where we live and learn about the history around us. Qingdao is a famous historical and cultural city and the birthplace of Taoism in China. 6000 years ago, there was human existence and reproduction here. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Jimo, the second great history of Shandong Province at that time, was established.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, he visited Langyatai, now located in Jiaonan, Qingdao, three times. Xu Fu of Qin Dynasty led a fleet to cross Korea and Japan from Langya Mountain. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once worshipped the gods at the Jiaomen Palace in Buqi Mountain, which is now located in Chengyang District, Qingdao, and set up Jiuming Hall to worship the ancestors at Nvgu Mountain on the coast of Jiaozhou Bay.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Qingdao had developed into a prosperous town, formerly known as Jiaoao. 189 1 14 in June, the Qing government transferred Gaoyuan Zhang, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou, to Qingdao, marking the beginning of the establishment of Qingdao. After the establishment of Qingdao, the Qing army built a fort here, and there is still the site of Qingdao Mountain Fort.

After World War I, 19 19, Britain, the United States, France and other countries held a "peace conference" in Paris. Despite the strong opposition of the people of China, Qingdao's sovereignty and Shandong's rights and interests were all handed over to Japan, and a vigorous May 4th patriotic movement broke out in China's modern history. To commemorate this movement, Qingdao built the May 4th Square, which has now become a new symbol of Qingdao.

1922,65438+February, China and Japan signed the Shandong Cold Case Settlement Treaty and its annexes. 65438+ February 10 of the same year, the then Beiyang warlord government officially recovered Qingdao's sovereignty. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Qingdao was taken over by the Kuomintang government and became the naval base of China. Now it has been built as naval museum.

"Qingdao" originally refers to Little Qingdao (also called Qindao), and it is named after the island's "beautiful rocks and lush trees". The appearance of the name "Qingdao" was clearly recorded in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years.

There are many former residences of cultural relics and celebrities in Qingdao, including Langyatai, the starting place of Qin Shihuang's three expeditions to the East and Xu Fudong's crossing to Fusang, Tian Heng Island, where 500 warriors died in the Western Han Dynasty, Weibei of Tianzhu Mountain, the site of Qi Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and Mashan Stone Forest, a geological wonder. Former residences of celebrities such as Kang Youwei, Wen Yiduo, Lao She and Wang Tongzhao.

A small Qingdao can not only defend against Japanese invaders, but also serve as a place where human beings live. It can be seen from here that Little Qingdao was originally mainly used for military purposes. It should be pointed out that "Qingdao" mentioned by Xu Ling at this time is a mouth of thousands of households under Fushan, marking the beginning of the establishment of Qingdao.

After the establishment of Qingdao, the Qing army stationed troops on the island. On the opposite bank slope of this island, a small Tianhou Palace has also existed here for 100 years. If we go back further, we can trace it back to the time when villagers living on the hillside near Tianhou Palace first came to build Qingdao Village. According to the Hu family tree compiled by 1924, "it is said that my family moved from Yunnan to Jimo in the early years of Yongle and lived in Shangzhuang, Qingdao" and "lived together for more than 500 years".

In other words, as early as more than 60 years before the completion of the Tianhou Palace, Hu people had moved from Yunnan to build a village in Xianying Hotel. This village built by Hu people was originally called "Qingdao Village". Only later, there were more and more villagers, and the original village site could no longer accommodate them, so another branch was set up and moved to the present Hunan Road and Guangxi Road.

In this way, the original "Qingdao Village" was called "Shangqingdao Village", commonly known as "Shangzhuang"; The newly-built "Qingdao Village" is called "Xiaqingdao Village", commonly known as "Xiazhuang". Hu people's ancestral home is Shangzhuang. This basically gives us a clear context, that is, "Qingdao comes first, then Qingdao Village, and finally Tianhou Palace".

Because we know that some islands near Qingdao had names before the Song Dynasty. It is estimated that the name "Qingdao" can not be later than the early Ming Dynasty. Later, a man named Hu came from Yunnan. They named their village after the island of Qingdao Bay, and named a mountain near the east as "Qingdao Mountain".

After coming to Qingdao, they "can make a living" and built a "Mazu Tempel" here, which was later the Tianhou Palace. By the time the Tianhou Palace was completed in 1467, Qingdao Bay had become the largest fishing port and cargo terminal in Qingdao, and was called "Qingdao Port". The original "Qingdao" was commonly known as "Little Qingdao".

So, when is "Qingdao" the general name of Qingdao area? What is recorded now is a stone tablet carved in Tianhou Palace during Tongzhi period in Qing Dynasty. This inscription records: "Qingdao has been established for more than one hundred years. So far, tourists and businessmen have gathered together. "

Here, the word "Qingdao" used in the inscription is not the concept of an island, a village, a mountain or a seaport, but the general name of Qingdao area.
