'''Xintai''' ({{zh|s={{linktext|新|泰}}|p=Xīntài}}) is a [[county-level city]] in the central part of [[Shandong]] [[provinces of China|province]], People's Republic of China. It is the easternmost [[county-level division]] of the [[prefecture-level city]] of [[Tai'an]] and is located about {{convert|50|km|mi}} to the southeast of downtown Tai'an.
==History==
Xintai has a long history dating back to the origins of the Chinese civilisation. In 1966, scientists concluded that a [[homo]] teeth fossil found in Xintai's Wuzhutai village belonged to a female teenager and that [[homo erectus]] were already living in the area five million years ago. Moreover, many primitive social sites belonging to ancient cultures were found on both sides of the Chaiwen River after archaeological excavations, such as the [[Dawenkou culture|Dawenkou]], [[Longshan culture|Longshan]] and [[Yueshi culture|Yueshi]] cultures. This proves that the ancient Chinese had already created a prelude to the Oriental human civilisation in Xintai some four or five thousand years ago.{{Citation needed|date=December 2017}}
In the [[Shang dynasty|Shang]] and [[Zhou dynasty|Zhou]] dynasties, Xintai served as the capital of the [[Qi (Henan)|Qi (杞) state]]. In 219 BC, [[Qin Shi Huang]] held a ceremony at Mount Liangfu. [[Emperor Wu of Han|Emperor Wu]] and [[Emperor Guangwu of Han|Emperor Guangwu]] of the [[Han dynasty]] also held similar ceremonies in Xintai. Besides, there were numerous famous Chinese people from Xintai, such as peace activist [[Liu Xiahui]] and musician [[Shi Kuang (musician)|Shi Kuang]].
In the early [[Qing dynasty]], in order to improve transport between north and south China, the [[Yongzheng Emperor]] ordered the construction of a new connecting road. After Yangliu station was set up, Xintai became an important centre of transport between the north and south.
In August 2007, the [[2007 Shandong coal mine flood|Shandong coal mine flood]] killed 181 miners.<ref name="LA1">LA times. "[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-aug-19-fg-chinamine19-story.html LA times]." ''Hope dim for Chinese miners.'' Retrieved on 2008-09-15.</ref>
