According to the Ming History, 1398 (thirty-one year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty), in order to strengthen the military construction of coastal defense and prevent the continuous invasion of maritime pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang approved Jianning Haiwei (now Muping District) as the earliest birthplace of Yantai, which was earlier than the Forbidden City built in Beijing in 1420 (eighteen years of Yongle in Ming Dynasty). At the same time, a "Langyan Wharf" was built at the top of its north mountain (now Yantai Mountain), which was called "Yantai" by the locals and spread as the origin of Yantai. In this regard, there are two doubts: First, the stone carvings and written materials identified as the origin of Yantai have not been found so far; Second, at that time, the "Langyan Wharf" spread all over the coastal border areas of the country, and it could not be called "Yantai". In that case, I'm afraid "Yantai" is not everywhere. It seems to be just an inference.
After the completion of "Qishan Shouqian House", its territory was under the jurisdiction of Fushan County and was established in 1 13 1 year (the ninth year of Jintianhui). After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in 1664 (the third year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty), the "Qishan Shouqian Mansion" was abolished. Since then, the army has become the land of civilians, the original thousand households and the deputy thousand households have been demoted to Shu Ren, and the officers and men have been disarmed to engage in agriculture, industry and commerce. At the same time, the original "Qishan Shouqian House" was renamed as "Qishan House", "Lock City" and "Lock City", and the surrounding villages 13 were classified as "Qishan Society" in the northeast by Fushan County. 1673 (in the 12th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty), in the first volume of "Fushan County Records" compiled by Rob, a magistrate of a county, it can be seen that there are 14 "Langya platform piers" along the coast of Fushan, and from west to east 13 are all marked as "piers", only the easternmost part (.
Nearly 80 years later, 1762 (the 27th year of Qing Qianlong), the Records of Fushan County compiled by He Leshan of Fushan County contained a "stone boat" (referring to the "natural wonders" in the north of Yantai Mountain), and the word "Yantai" appeared on Yantai Mountain (referring to Yantai Mountain), but the word "Yantai" mentioned this time was not.
The appearance of the second word "Yantai" kicked off the formal confirmation of Yantai.
As early as the early Ming Dynasty, several fishermen in Zhifu Bay jointly raised funds to build three huts to worship the sea god in the east of the mouth of the southwest Hebei River (now the former site of the North Street Mass Art Museum), and then carried out small-scale reconstruction and expansion during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. During this period, Zhifu Bay has become an important safe haven for north-south sea traffic and fishing boats in the suburbs of the border region. 18 10 year (15th year of Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty), with the investment of local and foreign businessmen and boatmen, the Sea Temple was expanded to "Tianhou Palace", and the people called it "templo mayor". At that time, the main street in front of the temple and the market developed rapidly, forming a "main street" (later renamed North Street), and the suburbs were called "Hai Shang" and later renamed "Yantai Street". The appellations of "sea" and "Yantai Street" centered on the Great Temple have been circulated until the 1940s. It is said that at that time, someone wrote "Yantai Street" on a wooden sign and nailed it to the wall of a shop opposite Xinhua Bookstore in Xianbei Street. It can be seen that "Yantai Mountain" and "Yantai Street" were recognized place names at that time.
1859165438+10.9 (Qing Xianfeng 2009/kloc-0.0/kloc-0.5), Yantai Bureau was formally established, and vessel tax and goods tax began to be levied. Although Yantai was not officially named, the establishment of Yantai Bureau was initially confirmed by the Qing government.
18 June 8, 1960 (April 19, the tenth year of Xianfeng reign in Qing Dynasty), the French aggressor troops invaded Zhifu Port, and boarded Yantai Mountain with more than 3,000 troops without firing a shot or any resistance. According to "Preparation for Westernization", Yu Wen, the governor of Shandong Province, visited the imperial court three times in two months 13, and reported the aggression of Fakou in gathering troops, expanding equipment, camping, looting civilian ships, reconnaissance training and gun inspection, and mentioned "Yantai", "Mount Tai of Yantai", "Haikou of Yantai" and "Yantai place" dozens of times.

Yantai, named after Yantai Mountain, has a long history. Yantai Mountain, originally unknown, was a barren mountain in ancient times, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with an altitude of 53.5 meters and an area of 7.07 hectares. Because it is located on the north coast, the locals call it "Beishan".
In the thirty-first year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1398), Qishan was built at the northern foot of Qishan to protect thousands of families.
It has a history of 600 years.

At the same time of building the city, an iron pier, also known as Wolf Smoke Pier and Beacon Tower, was set up in the "North Mountain". When the enemy is found, smoke rises during the day and fire rises at night, which is called Yantai for short. This is what some locals call "Iron Mountain" and "Yantai Mountain".

In the fifth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1866), a customs dock was built in the west of Yantaishan, and a lighthouse and flagpole were built on the iron pier of East Customs to direct ships entering and leaving the dock. Since then, Yantai Mountain has also been called "Laqi Mountain".
There is a "Yantai Stone" on the east side of the lighthouse. Due to the climate change in the four seasons, Yantai "opens the river in July and September, and swallows come in August and September" every year. In August and September, flocks of swallows fly from the south and gather here to nest and breed. The locals call Yantai Mountain "Yantai Mountain".
At the end of 19, "Beishan", "Laqi Mountain", "Yantai Mountain" and "Yantai Mountain" are mixed together. 1905, Yantai Mountain built a lighthouse and named it "Yantai Mountain Lighthouse". Since then, other names have gradually disappeared. In 1930s, it was collectively called Yantai Mountain, which became the symbol of Yantai later.
In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1908), Zhifu Island and Shangbu District (east to Guangdong Street, west to Haiphong Camp, south to Suocheng and north to the coast) were changed to Zhifu District and Yantai District, which were under the jurisdiction of Fushan County. This is the first administrative region named after Yantai Mountain. 19 13 Yantai District was changed to the original Yantai Special Zone in Fushan County, also known as Yantai Police Special Zone. 1in the spring of 934, the Shandong provincial government established the Yantai Special Administrative Region, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Shandong provincial government. 1945 On August 24th, Yantai was liberated for the first time and the Yantai Municipal People's Government was established. The origin of Yantai name can be said to be the result of social development.
