Yingqiu

Yingqiu was the first capital of the State of Qi, according to the Shiji the seat granted to Jiang Ziya, Lord Taigong, when King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed him in the north of the Shandong peninsula. It is traditionally identified with Linzi, near present-day Zibo, which remained Qi's capital for most of its history, though some scholars place it elsewhere in Shandong.
