History

Perspective
In the Tang dynasty (618–907) and Song dynasty (960–1279), it came under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou and Dongpingfu (东平府; 'Dongping Prefecture'), respectively.[citation needed]
In the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), Anshan Town (today's Da'anshan Village) became an important ferry, and the area belonged to Dongpingzhou (东平州).[citation needed]
In the Zhengde period (1506–1521) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), the name of Shanglaozhuang came from the fact that the people surnamed "Shang" moved to today's Shanglaozhuang Village.[citation needed]
In late Qing dynasty (1644–1911) and early Republic of China (1912-1949), it was under the jurisdiction of the 9th District of Dongping (东平九区).[citation needed]
In August 1940, the Chinese Communist Party set it up as Kunshan Experimental Area (昆山实验区), and then changed it into Kunshan County (昆山县). On August 25, 1949, Kunshan County was renamed "Liangshan County" (梁山县).[citation needed]
In 1984, Shanglaozhuang Township and Da'anshan Township were set up, which belonged to Xiao'anshan District (小安山区).[2]
In December 1985, Shanglaozhuang Township and Da'anshan Township came under the jurisdiction of Dongping County.[citation needed]
In February 2001, former Da'anshan Township was merged into Shanglaozhuang Township.[citation needed]
