History course:
In the pre-Qin period, there were two vassal States in Shandong today, one was Qi and the other was Lu. The first monarch of Qi was Ziya, Jiang Taigong, with its capital in Linzi. The first monarch of Lu was his son Boqin, whose capital was Qufu.
Jiang Taigong and Duke Zhou are both famous people in the history of China, while Qufu and Linzi are both national historical and cultural cities. In the long history of thousands of years, this area has gradually formed two major cultural systems: Qi culture and Lu culture centered on Linzi and Qufu.
