- Shandong has been one of the political, economic and cultural centers of ChinaWall of Qi State since ancient times. The earliest Chinese dynasty, the Xia Dynasty (about 2146 BC to 1675 BC), exerted control over the western part of Shandong province, while Eastern Shandong was inhabited by the Dongyi peoples who eventually became Han-ized over subsequent centuries. Southwest Shandong was their political and economic center during the early part of the Shang Dynasty (about 1029 BC to 771BC). During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 - 221 BC) the state of Qi at Linzi and the state of Lu at Qufu were the most powerful states existing in Shandong. Since the two states exerted a significant influence on the politics, economy and culture in Chinese history, a common nickname for Shandong is Qilu, after the state of Lu and state of Qi. Its abbreviation is Lu.
