Jinan Road is named after latitude and longitude, which has long been recorded in Jinan annals. 1904, Ji Jiao Railway was completed and opened to traffic, and the Qing government developed an area outside Dingxi as a commercial port of Jinan. At that time, the border of the commercial port area was about five miles long from east to west, but less than three miles from north to south. At that time, Jinan's textile industry was relatively prosperous. According to the ancient saying that "the elders pass by, while the dwarfs pass by", the east-west roads in Shangbu District are named "Jing", and the "Jingyi Road" defined by the north-south railway is arranged in turn; The road in the north-south direction is named "Wei", and the "Wei Yi Road" in the Ten Kings Hall is arranged in turn from east to west and intersects the road vertically. The short weft path between warp and weft is generally called Xiao Wei Road. Now, there are Xiao Wei No.2 Road and Xiao Wei No.6 Road in Jinan.

This unified naming method reserves the road names arranged in sequence for the development of commercial ports in the south and west. At the same time, the route design also considered the trend of the two railways at that time to facilitate the distribution of commercial goods. It can be said that the naming of road latitude and longitude witnessed the opening history of Jinan.
