History
Changqing was named after the Xiaoqing River that flows through the area. In Zuo Zhuan, it was mentioned that "In the spring of the eleventh year of Duke Ai, the Qi general Gaoping led an army to attack us and reached Qing," which is believed to have taken place in what is now the Changqing region.During the Qin dynasty, this area belonged to Dong Commandery.
In the Western Han dynasty, Lu County was established, whose jurisdiction encompassed the entire present-day Changqing area. Lu County was regarded as the origin of Chinese surname Lu and Korean surname Roh.
In the Sui dynasty, part of Lu County was separated to form Changqing County, under the administration of Jibei Commandery.
In the early Tang dynasty, Shanchi County was divided out from Changqing County. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, it was renamed Fengqi County, but in the reign of Emperor Xianzong, it was merged back into Changqing County.
At that time, Changqing was administered under Yunzhou.
From the Northern Song to the Jin dynasty, Changqing County was under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture. In Yuan dynasty, Changqing was taken from Jinan, and from 1368 until now, Changqing was again put under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture and Jinan City.
In 2001, Changqing County was elevated into Changqing District.
