《汉书·地理志》承秦三十六郡，县邑数百，后稍分析，至于孝平，凡郡、国百三，县、邑、道、侯国千五百八十七。 世祖中兴，惟官多役烦，乃命并合，省郡、国十，县、邑、道、侯国四百余所。 至明帝置郡一，章帝置郡、国二，和帝置三，安帝又命属国别领比郡者六，又所省县，渐复分置。 至于孝顺，凡郡、国百五，县、邑、道、侯国千一百八十，民户九百六十九万八千六百三十，口四千九百一十五万二百二十。
Ban Gu’s Geographical Records in the Han shu began from the thirty-six Qin commanderies and ended at Ping’s tally of 103 commanderies and kingdoms and 1,587 county-level units. Guangwu’s reunification forced wholesale consolidation: ten commanderies and kingdoms and over four hundred lower seats vanished from the rolls. Later emperors partly reversed the cuts: Ming added one seat, Zhang two, He three, and An raised six dependent states to parity with commanderies while old counties crept back onto the map. By Shun and Huan the empire again held 105 commanderies and kingdoms, 1,180 county-level units, and census figures just under 9.7 million households and 49.15 million people.

赞曰：众安后载，政洽区分； 侯罢守列，民无常君。 称号迁隔，封割纠纷； 略存减益，多证前闻。
The stanza opens by praising the post-restoration order: settled subjects and a bureaucracy that could actually mark off each jurisdiction. The old Warring States pattern of a fixed prince gave way to rotating Han magistrates. Each generation renamed and re-cut territories until the genealogy of seats read like a lawsuit. The compiler’s apology: a lean gazetteer, but one that usually checks out against the older histories.
