Wulian area was originally under the jurisdiction of Juxian County, Rizhao county and Zhucheng county. According to the records of the old annals, Ju county was established in Zhou Dynasty, and the county was established in Qin Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty granted Liu Zhang, the Marquis of Zhu Xu, the king of Chengyang, and took Ju as the capital, which was called Chengyang state. Jin set up the city of Yangzhou here, and later changed it to Juzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, the county was withdrawn into the state. In the Republic of China, the state was changed into a county. Rizhao county belongs to Ju state in Zhou Dynasty and Ju county in Qin Dynasty. In the Western Han Dynasty, Haiqu county was established, and then Kunshan county was established; in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Kunshan county was abolished, Haiqu county was changed into Xihai County, and in the Jin Dynasty, Xihai county was withdrawn and merged into Ju county. In 1087 ad, Rizhao town was established in Ju county, and Rizhao county was established in Jin Dynasty. Zhucheng County, Zhou first belonged to the state of Ju, then to the state of Lu and the state of Qi respectively. It was established in Qin Dynasty, and its name is unknown. In the Han Dynasty, Dongwu county and Ju county were established, and in the Sui Dynasty, they were renamed Zhucheng county.

The above records show that Juxian, Rizhao and Zhucheng have a long history. Two Neolithic sites, Dantu village and dongchengxian, discovered in the 1950s, indicate that the Wulian area belonged to Longshan Culture in the early stage. The Great Wall site of Qi in the Warring States period, which lies in the north of the county, was built in the 18th year of King Xian of Zhou Dynasty (351 BC).

According to the old annals of Ju, RI and Zhu counties and relevant materials, the historical evolution of Wulian area is summarized as follows:

Wulian area belongs to Qingzhou in ancient times. Zhou Dynasty was the fiefdom of Ju state. In the Republic of China, it is recorded in the book "rebuilding the annals of Ju" that King Wu of Zhou granted Ziyu to Ju. At the beginning, the capital was Jinji (now near chengziya village in the southwest of Jiaozhou City), and then moved to Ju. " During the Warring States period, it still belonged to the state of Ju. In the first year of the king of Chu bamboo slips (431 B.C.), Ju was conquered in the north, and then it was the land of Chu, and then it was under the jurisdiction of Lu and Qi respectively. According to the Bamboo Annals, the state of Qi built the Great Wall, with the state of Qi in the north and the state of Lu in the South as the boundary. After that, King kaolie of Chu attacked Lu again and was under the jurisdiction of Chu and Qi respectively. In the Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Ju county, Langya county (the northern part of Wulian County originally belonged to Zhucheng County, which was under the jurisdiction of the county in the Qin Dynasty, so the name of the county could not be tested).

In the Western Han Dynasty, it belonged to Langya County of the governor's Department of Xuzhou (according to the records of the Republic of China's "re Xiu Ju Zhi", Ju county was once the Chengyang state of Yanzhou County, to be studied). Today Wulian County is divided into Ju county, Haiqu County, Kunshan County, Dongwu County, Zhuquan county and zhequan county. The old city is located in six counties 70 Li southwest of Zhucheng county. In the 13th year of Jianwu (A.D. 37) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the county was changed into a state, belonging to the Langya state of the governor of Xuzhou. At that time, Kunshan county was abandoned and Haiqu county was changed into Xihai County, which was under the jurisdiction of Ju, Xihai, Dongwu and Zhusi counties.

During the period of Cao Wei, the Three Kingdoms belonged to Chengyang County in Xuzhou and Langya County in Qingzhou. At that time, Xihai county was abolished and merged into Ju county, which was under the jurisdiction of Ju county, Dongwu county and other counties.

In the early Jin Dynasty, it belonged to Chengyang County in the Ministry of Qingzhou; in the 10th year of Taikang (AD 289), Ju, Dongwu, Gumu and Zhu counties in Chengyang County of Qingzhou were changed to Dongguan County in the Ministry of Xuzhou. The territory is under the jurisdiction of Ju, Dongwu and Zhu counties. In the Sixteen Kingdoms period, it was not exclusive. It belonged to Shi Zhao, Murong Yan and Fu Qin. In the third year of Long'an (399 AD), it belonged to Nan Yan. In the sixth year of Yixi (410 AD), it returned to Jin Dynasty.

In the southern and Northern Dynasties, Liu Song remained unchanged because of the old. After the Northern Wei Dynasty occupied Shandong, in 451 ad, it belonged to Dongguan County of Southern Qingzhou, and later to Dongwu County of Jiaozhou. In 549 ad, Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty changed Dongguan County into Yitang county. In the Northern Qi Dynasty, they belonged to Yitang, Dong'an and Gaomi counties of nanqingzhou. At that time, all the counties were abolished and merged into Dongwu county. Now the county is under the jurisdiction of Juxian County and Dongwu county. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it belonged to Yitang County of Ju state, and the territory was still under the jurisdiction of Ju and Dongwu counties.

In the early Sui Dynasty, Wulian County was under the jurisdiction of Ju county, Langya County, Xuzhou (in 583 ad, Ju county was changed into Ju county; in 606 ad, Daye county was changed into county) and Dongwu County, Gaomi County, Qingzhou (in 583 ad, Jiaozhou was abandoned; in the fifth year AD, Mizhou was changed).

In the fifth year of Chunhua (AD 994), Daocun road was abandoned and belonged to Mizhou of Jingdong road; in the seventh year of Xining (AD 1074), it belonged to Mizhou of Jingdong road; in the second year of Yuanyou (ad 1087), Rizhao town was set up in Juxian; in the third year of Yuanyou (AD 1088), Rizhao town and Zhucheng county were changed into Linhai, and Rizhao town was still merged into Juxian and connected with Zhucheng County with jurisdiction in Mizhou. At this time, Wulian County was divided into Ju county and Zhucheng county.

In Jin Dynasty, Rizhao town was upgraded to Rizhao county. At that time, both Ju county and Rizhao County belonged to Ju state, Langya County, east Shandong Road (Ju state was originally Chengyang army, which was upgraded to Chengyang state in AD 1182 and changed to Ju state in AD 24). Zhucheng County belonged to Mizhou, Langya County, east Shandong road. Wulian area is under the jurisdiction of Ju county, Rizhao county and Zhucheng county.

In the Ming Dynasty, according to Volume 41 of the history of the Ming Dynasty, Juzhou was ruled by the state at the beginning of Hongwu Period, and Juxian province led by Rizhao and Yishui counties According to the "Shandong Tongzhi evolution" records: "Hongwu first year (AD 1368) began to abolish Mizhou, with (Zhucheng) County Qingzhou Prefecture."

On July 7, 1937, Japan launched a war of aggression against China. In the winter of the same year, the Kuomintang governments of Ju, Japan and Zhu counties competed to pull troops to "flee armed" to Wulian mountain area. In February 1938, the Japanese aggressors successively occupied Zhucheng, Rizhao and Juxian. In March, the CPC southeast Shandong special committee was established; in autumn and winter, the CPC Juxian County Committee, Zhucheng County Committee and Rizhao county committee were successively established, and the Eighth Route Army offices in each county were successively established. At this time, three political forces formed in Wulian mountain area. The southern, southwestern and central mountainous areas were the active areas of the CPC southeast Shandong special committee and the county committees of Ju, Japan and Zhu counties; the areas along the Taiwei highway and Taishi highway were occupied by the Japanese puppets, and the puppet management systems such as the "maintenance meeting" and "new democratic meeting" were established; other areas were occupied by the local attack teams of the Kuomintang.
