'''Qi''' ([[wiktionary:齊|齊]]; [[pinyin]]: Qí) was a powerful state during the [[Spring and Autumn Period]] and [[Period of the Warring States]]. Its capital was [[Linzi]], which is part of the present city of [[Zibo]] in [[Shandong Province]].
Qi was founded around [[1040s BC|1046 B.C.]] as one of the many states of the [[Zhou Dynasty]]. The first ruler appointed for Qi is [[Jiang Shang]], the most powerful official during that time. The Jiang family ruled Qi for several centuries before it was replaced by the Tian family in [[384 BC]]. In 221 BC, Qi was the last state of pre-Imperial China to be conquered by the [[Qin (state)|State of Qin]], the final obstacle which allowed the [[Qin Dynasty]] to consolidate the first centralized and imperial empire over China.
