The origin of the Qi surname can be divided into two periods: the former is Zhong Rong, the eighth son of Emperor Levin, who was the ancestor and passed down to Qingying, the third ancestor, who was handed down by Yao, while Yu Xing, the son of Yao, married Teng Ying, the daughter of Shou Chang, and gave his surname in the 36th century. Wei was handed down from generation to generation. When Kang Gong, the 42nd emperor of Chu and Song Dynasties, fought, the Duke of Tongbaishan ordered him to say that the war would be peaceful for 20 years.
The duke of Wei gave Qi Yi's land as a fief to the doctor Kang Gong. Qiyi is a prosperous town, the gateway to defend the country and the transportation hub of various vassal States. After the fief, Qi Yicheng was established. When Wei Huangong was built, he sent his cousin Jieer to manage Qi City and collect food and taxes from Qi City. Boyi, the son of Boyi, was named Sun Shi in memory of his grandfather Sun Hui (the son of Wei Wugong), that is, Sun Yi was the ancestor of Sun Shi.
After that, there was a dispute with the ancestors of Qi State, and it was also the battle for ideal city in Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the reign of Jin, due to the important geographical position of Qi City, Jin always controlled the whole country by controlling Qi State. He controlled the eastern governors by defending his country, and seized the land of Qi four times in the year of Lu Wennian (626 BC), the year of Lu Chenggong (584 BC), the year of Lu Xianggong (547 BC) and the year of Lu Aigong (493 BC).
