Zhangqiu (simplified Chinese:章丘;traditional Chinese:章邱;pinyin:Zhāngqiū) is one of 10urban districts of theprefecture-level city ofJinan, the capital ofShandong Province,EastChina. The district has an area of 1721.29 square kilometers, 20 towns, 908 villages and the permanent resident population was 1,075,784 as of 2020[update] even though its built-up (or metro) area is much smaller.[4]
Zhangqiu is the home toLongshan Culture that existed around 2900-2100 BC. Longshan Culture is known for its black ceramics and the earliest features to late characterize the Shang civilization,scapulimancy andhangtu construction (seeChengziya Archaeological Site).
During theSpring and Autumn period, Zhangqiu was governed byState of Qi in the west andState of Tan in the east, until Tan was conquered by Qi in 684 BCE. Under Qi's rule, there were five estates: Pingying (平陵邑), Ning (寧邑), Tai (臺邑), Cui (崔邑), and Lai (賴邑); among them, estate of Cui later became the origin of Chinese surnameCui and Korean surnameChoi, as well as the famousCui clan of Boling andCui clan of Qinghe.
It is believed that the local name Zhangqiu or Zhangqiu Hill (章丘山) is named afterQi general Kuang Zhang (匡章), who ledBattle of Chuisha and buried here; 'qiu' (丘) stands for 'hill, mound', which refers to the tomb of Kuang Zhang. DuringLiu Song dynasty in 5th century, Gaotang (高唐) County was set here, and in 596, the name was changed into Zhangqiu to avoid confliation in name with anotherGaotang County (in present dayLiaocheng) in this region. The Zhangqiu County has Mingshui (明水) as its capital, and it was affiliated to Jinan from the 10th century to the end ofQing dynasty in 1911.
In 1735, the writing of Zhangqiu was changed from 章丘 to 章邱, as first "Qiu" (丘) was the name ofConfucius, the change was reverted after the 1950s[5].
After theRepublic of China was founded, all counties changed their statusto be directly administered by the province, like in the United States. Zhangqiu went back to be a part of Jinan in 1953, after the communist established the regime. In August 1992 Zhangqiu County was upgraded into Zhangqiu City.
As of 2017[update], this county is divided to 15 subdistricts and 3 towns.[6]
