History
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Tai'an is named after Mount Tai. In Chinese, Tai (Thái) means "significant". Thus, the nameTai'anis derived from the ancient saying: "If MountTaiis safe, then the four seas (the world) are safe (An;ān). "
Early history
[edit]Tai'an was home to theDawenkou cultureduring theneolithicera. During theSpring and Autumn periodand theWarring States period,the region belonged to the states ofQiandLu.The site of major historical and cultural significance in the area isMount Tai.It attracted multiple emperors throughout the dynasties tovisit,offer sacrifice to the heaven gods and pray for harvest. Confucius, Sima Qian,Cao Zhi,Li Bai,Du Fuand other litterateurs visited here and many great works were produced.

On 1 May 1928,Chiang Kai-shek,the leader ofKMTand nationalist revolutionary army, commanded the attack of Tai'an and occupied it the next day.[5]
In October 1937, exiled students from Peking, Tianjin and other major cities arrived in Tai'an seeking asylum after the north of Yellow river was occupied by the Japanese forces. On 24 December 1937, Japanese troops crossed the Yellow River, occupied Jinan on the next day, and bombed Tai'an. On the night of 31 December, the Japanese occupied Tai'an.[6]Local resistants were assembled autonomously to fight against the occupation.[7]
