Brief introduction of Tengzhou, the ancient city of Tengguo

Tengzhou has a long and splendid history and culture, and the beautiful scenery of Tengzhou Old Town is a cultural resort that generations yearn for.

The ancient prose platform is one of the eight scenic spots in Tengzhou. Teng Wengong hired Mencius for his "king of France, benevolent government and good education" and was praised as a good country. The town governs 83 administrative villages with 86,000 people, with a total area of 84.48 square kilometers. These include urban sewage treatment plants, Xinyuan Power Plant, WuTun Power Plant, Lizhuang Coal Mine, WuTun Coal Mine and Zhaopo Coal Mine. Beiliu Road and Jizhao Road run through the east and west, with superior location and rich resources, and are known as "Tengxi Granary Coal Sea". In 2003, the town's GDP reached 750 million yuan, the town-level fiscal revenue reached 20.357 million yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers reached 4,422 yuan. Tengzhou was rated as "civilized township" and "economically strong town", and eight villages were rated as "top 100 economic villages" in the city.

During the Warring States Period, Teng Wengong, King Teng, was not annexed by a big country, but was regarded as a "good country" and "outstanding above the twelve princes". Fiona Fang was a small country with five miles and eight hundred princes standing side by side, which was a historical miracle. Moreover, our doorstep is close to Jinan, the spring city of Mount Tai, Confucius' hometown. If the ancient city is completed, I think it will form the golden tourist routes of Jinan, Taishan, Sankong, Mencius, Tengguo ancient city and Weishan Lake in Shandong Province, and become a new tourist attraction in southern Shandong. The payback period of investment is 6 years, and the cooperation mode is joint venture, cooperation, sole proprietorship or independent investment in the construction of scenic spots.

Teng has a long history, which can be traced back to its origin. There are different opinions about the appearance of the word "Teng". Speaking of' Teng', it is ancient, and the inscriptions unearthed in Tengzhou have been proved. Shuo Wen: Teng, Tian Qiye. "Cang Xie": "Also on the shore." All refer to other places. Er Ya Shi Bao: "Empty." It's the same as ditch pit and ditch pool. Because Teng and Luo are homophonic, the ancient classics take Luo as a fake and take the meaning of surging spring tide. In fact, we should take Teng as our right. Second, there is no "Teng" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Is it "Teng" in the classics, or "?" From water and bronze inscriptions. From the fire. "Tengxuzhi Jinshizhi" contains: "Tengguihu" rubbings:? Tigers dare to make a fuss ... "In 1978, the inscription" Teng Gongwei "unearthed in Zhuanglixi Village, Tengxian County (now Zhuanglixi Village, Jiangtun Town, Tengzhou) read:" I am a monk (work)? (Teng) Bao Gong? Yi. Or "? "When it is the emblem of the Yi fire totem clan, because it worships Vulcan, it takes the power of fire as the symbol of its clan. Later, due to the settlement and founding of the country handed down from generation to generation, soldiers, farmers and sacrificial vessels were further developed, so we inherited the names of our ancestors and carved our surnames on the vessels, named "?" . Because the Guteng area is surrounded by mountains, lush vegetation and rich water resources, it is suitable for clan people to settle down. However, in the summer flood season, all the water in the eastern mountainous areas was injected, which exceeded the resistance of the clan and tribe, and it turned into "Teng" when it came to heaven and earth and the gods. All versions of Teng Zhi say, "Teng Zhe is also famous for taking water."

According to Xu Chenyun in Guoyu, "There are 25 cases of Huangdi, with 14 surnames, a total of 12 surnames", including Teng's. Shandong Tongzhi feudalism: "Feng Teng, the tenth son of the Yellow Emperor." Records call it "Huang Di Teng". According to the records of the Yellow Emperor, it was the earliest Teng family. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor was the leader of the tribal alliance of northern clans in ancient China. Later (about 5,000 years ago), this tribal alliance went south to the Yellow River valley and merged with the foreign people (or Teng's family) who originally lived in the East, that is, the ancestors who settled in this area-Shuijing (now famous Chenghe) moved from primitive society to slave society, so it was "Teng".

During the Yin Dynasty, Teng was a state-owned Teng Bo, whose name was Teng Weidi. According to "Historical Records Textual Research", "There was a famous scholar Teng Bo in Yin Dynasty, who was also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and his lineage was not tested." According to the name of "Bo" in Chinese ancient books, he is the leader of the ruling party. "Ci Yuan" notes: "Governor Yin is called an uncle". This shows that Tengdi used to be the land of Guteng tribe. "Continued Teng County Records" said: "The Teng family was sealed by the Yellow Emperor, which went through Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Xia Yin until the end of Shang Dynasty." But I don't know the details, and there is no test today. What I said should reflect such a historical fact: at the end of primitive society, one clan in the tribal clan alliance headed by the Yellow Emperor belonged to Teng. The fact that the Yellow Emperor has twenty-five or twenty-four sons does not necessarily mean that the Yellow Emperor himself has so many children. It reflects that he had reached the patriarchal clan system at that time, and every surname from the Yellow Emperor only refers to a tribal clan under the leadership of the Yellow Emperor. It can be seen that "Teng was already a country in the early days of China's history entering a slave country."

Teng wrote the first letter of Teng Guo in the Zhou Dynasty, and it is clearly recorded in the literature that "Shiben": "Cuo Shu Embroiders, Wen Taizi" ("Hanshu Geography") is quoted from ancient times. The wrong uncle embroidered rattan. Genealogy: "Teng, Ji surname. King Wen embroidered it by mistake and sealed it as Rutten. Gongqiu County, Pei County also. " Shi Ben (Qin Jia Mo Ben) said: "After the 14th son of Zhou Wenwang Teng Hou, the descendants took the country as their surname". "History of Han Geography" Yan Shigu's note: "The book is also called,' wrong uncle embroidered, gentleman wrote'". According to these documents, we can know that the founder of Tengguo in Zhou Dynasty was Cuoshu Xiuqi, the son of King Wen, and was named Tengguo in Zhou Dynasty.

According to Zuo Zhuan, the territory of Tengguo is said to be a perfect match. Mencius, Hui Liang and Wang Xia: "Teng, a small country, between Qi and Chu." According to the preface (continued) of "A Textual Research on the Territorial Changes of the Seventh Warring States Period", "Teng is in the southwest of tengxian, bordering Ni in the east, Zou (Si) in the north and Lu in the south and west."

Due to the lack of documentary records, except for the initial seal of Tengguo, little is known about the history of Tengguo in the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, according to archaeological data, there are at least many cultural sites in Tengdi in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which reflects the dense population of Tengguo in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Archaeologists collected bronze dings, stone axes, stone sickles and pottery pots in these sites. In the west of lizhuang village, Jiangtun Town, a tomb in the early Western Zhou Dynasty was also found. Many important handicrafts have been unearthed. It can be proved from here that Teng Di's bronze ware making technology is quite high. Because these appliances are made by Teng, they are probably made locally. If so, it is enough to show that Tengdiye copper industry at that time had a high level of development. If Teng Guo Jun was obtained from other places, then, as the compensation value of bronzes, Teng Guo will also come up with a lot of wealth of considerable value in exchange for gifts. Jade and agate beads were also found in this tomb, indicating that the jade handicraft industry at that time reached a certain level. These important funerary objects reflect the relatively prosperous economic development in Tengguo area. Judging from the cultural relics unearthed in archaeology, the economic development in Gu Teng is quite advanced. The economic level of Tengdi in Shang Dynasty was equal to that of Central Plains. There is a tripod in the tomb of Shang Dynasty in Xu Hong. The shape is the same as that of Shang Dynasty bronze tripod in Central Plains. Of course, its casting location may be outside tengxian. If it is made by Tengdi, it shows that Tengdi's cast copper has reached the level of the Central Plains at that time. If it was cast in the Central Plains, it shows that Tengdi in Shang Dynasty had very close commercial and administrative contacts with the Central Plains or other regions. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Tengguo's handicraft industry was no less than that of the Central Plains, with a fairly dense population and a relatively developed economy. From the above data, it shows that Gutenberg's economic development level is quite high, and its social economy and progress keep pace with the Central Plains.
