In the long history of more than 5,000 years in China, many dynasties and countries, large and small, were born, with hundreds of officially recognized emperors alone. If you add the so-called emperors who occupy one place to establish political power and stand on their own feet as kings, I don't know how many.
These emperors came from all parts of China, covering almost all provinces. Although the small governments in many places did not really unify the Central Plains, they were at least addicted to the emperors. However, it is puzzling that there was once a big province, but there was never an emperor in history.
This province is called Shandong for short, and its capital is Jinan. Before the establishment of Shang Dynasty, the ancestors of Shang Dynasty were all in Fan, and the east of Xiangtu was under Mount Tai. Southwest Shandong used to be the activity center of Shang tribes and one of the central areas ruled by Shang Dynasty. In the early Shang dynasty, the capital was moved eight times, and the first two times were in Shandong. Therefore, Shandong has become a very important place.
