As early as ancient times, Puyang area has been developed, and Qicheng is close to the Yellow River, which is a place where people often haunt. Yin Shang period was also an important political and economic zone for Yin Shang people. Only after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, it was possible for Zhou talents to dilute Puyang's political status and build its capital in Wei. Puyang rarely appears in ancient books and historical materials.
It was not until Di people defended Chenggong and moved the clan to Puyang to restore the country that this area flourished again. After Jin became the overlord, the fate of Qi City changed gradually between Jin and Wei.
The busiest period of Qi City is roughly the period of Chu Jin's hegemony. During this period, people in Qicheng experienced the political pattern of attaching themselves to health and gold from time to time. As long as the state of Jin moves eastward, the city of Qi is often in a state of tension. The famous battles of Jin Chu, Chengpu, Jinzheng and Tieqiu are all closely related to Qi City.
After Wei successfully moved to Puyang, he vigorously managed Puyang, and Qicheng enjoyed the political, economic and cultural influence of Beijing. Later, it became a city that the prince and the country paid more attention to. The so-called "Gaiqi's land is close to Hexi, according to the pivot of China, which is not only the crossroads of Wei, but also the passage of Jin, Zheng, Wu and Chu" refers to this place.
The land of Qi has the greatest influence on Jin. It witnessed the rise of the State of Jin, followed by the rule of Chu Jin, and then the eastward advancement of the State of Jin, until the last major period of the decline of the State of Jin. There were many wars in those days. As a place of alliance, Qi attracted the attention of many governors, which is also its unique historical position.
