Dengzhou, located in the northeast of Shandong Peninsula, was established in Wude, Tang Gaozu in four years and was abolished in 19 13. As an administrative unit, * * * existed around 1293 Dengzhou.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou was set up in Wendeng, which was soon abolished. In the first year of Ruyi (692), Dengzhou was restored in Huangxian County (Longkou). In the third year of Tang Shenlong (707), Dengzhou moved to Penglai, where Penglai was promoted to county, and Huangxian, a province, joined it. The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the state capitals and still ruled Penglai.

Dengzhou historical jurisdiction

In 707 AD, after the Dengzhou Institute moved to Penglai, its jurisdiction included Penglai, Longkou, the whole Long Island and a part of Fushan and Qixia.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, there were 360 states in China, with 1557 counties. Shandong is divided into 14 states and more than 80 counties.

Dengzhou in the Song and Yuan Dynasties basically followed the administrative divisions of the Tang Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (Zhu Yuanzhang period), Dengzhou was promoted to be a government, and Zhaoyuan, Laiyang, Ninghai (Mu Ping) and Wendeng in Laizhou were merged into Dengzhou, and the administrative division was 1 seven counties (Penglai, Huangxian, Qixia, Fushan, Zhaoyuan, Laiyang, Wendeng and Ninghai).

The system of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of the Tang and Song Dynasties. The local administrative divisions of the Ming Dynasty were four levels: province, prefecture, prefecture and county. At that time, Shandong Province had 6 states, 15 states and 89 counties.

Dengzhou was upgraded to a government for military reasons. Zhu Yuanzhang once commented: "Dengse and Dengse are both close to the sea and are the main traffic routes between Korea and Japan. It is not enough to establish a government and increase the number of troops. "

The Ming Dynasty also set up the Governor's Office in Dengzhou, covering Dengzhou, Laizhou and Liaodong Islands. There is a saying that "the golden sea covers the land and Liaoyang is outside".

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, it followed the system of the Ming Dynasty. In the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), Dengzhou Prefecture administered 9 counties (Penglai, Huangxian, Qixia, Fushan, Zhaoyuan, Laiyang, Wendeng, Rongcheng, Haiyang and Ninghai), with the largest jurisdiction.
