For thousands of generations, Chinese civilization has flowed for a long time. From the rise of the Qin Dynasty, the unification of Liuhe, the creation of the era of the emperor, to the flourishing Tang Dynasty, the convergence of cultures, China has built a pluralistic and integrated national fortune pattern after thousands of years. In this long process, the great cause of reunification and national integration have become the main theme of history and are also the universal choice of the people of all nationalities.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, Shandong played a key role in politics, economy, and culture, laying the cornerstone for the pattern of great unification. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Shandong's population migration and cultural exchanges promoted ethnic integration and cultural prosperity, laying the groundwork for the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang destroyed Qi and founded China's first multi-ethnic unified dynasty. Since then, the concept of "great unification" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become the mainstream of China's historical development. The Shandong region has attracted much attention as part of the territory of the ** dynasty. Qin Shi Huang toured the east three times, visited Qilu in person, sealed Mount Tai, engraved gold and stone, showing the awe of the gods of heaven and earth. In 1954, a group of cultural relics unearthed in Donggendao Village, Tai'an, including copper ropes and iron plates, were ritual vessels for worshipping Mount Tai during the Warring States Period, and reproduced the scene of ancient sacrifices.
The First Emperor's edict bears witness to the efforts to unify weights and measures. Before 207 BC, the Qin state unified weights and measures, reflecting the regime's emphasis on standardization.
For thousands of generations, Chinese history has been like a long river. From great unification to national integration, this is the essence of Chinese civilization and the choice of the Chinese nation. Shandong, as a witness of history, has witnessed the glorious moments of the sons and daughters of China.
