鲁北莱州湾南岸滩涂广阔,地下卤水资源丰富,气候条件适宜,海盐生产条件优越。考古发现证明,先秦时期这里海盐生产规模很大。文献记载夏朝青州有了盐贡赋;商朝时期寿光双王城等众多制盐遗址群的发现;西汉北海盐官的设置;元朝时期盐业衙门遗存雕龙碑的发现;明清时期盐场官台场盐业生产规模的扩大;以及建国以后羊口盐场、富国盐场的建设,都反映了自古及今鲁北莱州湾盐业的发展。

Wide beach, abundant underground brine and favorable climate are excellent conditions for sea salt production on the south coast of Laizhou Bay in northern Shandong. Archaeological find proves that there was a large scale of sea salt production in the pre-Qin period. And more evidence is as follows： the document in Xia Dynasty records the existence of salt tax in Qingzhou; the development of salt production in Shang Dynasty left a large number of relics in Shuangwangcheng, Shouguang; in Western Han Dynasty, salt officers were established in Bcihai; the carved dragon stele of salt Yamen （governmental office in feudal China） in Yuan Dynasty was unearthed; Guantai Saltem was founded and developed during Ming and Qing dynasties, and then Yangkou Saltworks and Fuguo Saltworks after foundation of the People＇s Republic of China. All above evidence shows the development of salt industry on the south coast of Laizhou Bay since ancient times.
