The Jin domain’s territory and borders ran east to the Gimir, Wudai, and other wild tribes; north from over three thousand li beyond Puyu Circuit, with the Huolu Huotuan mengke frontier; then west along the border trench Taizhou’s Boluhuo had dug, through Linhuang and Jinshan, north of Qing, Huan, Fu, Chang, and Jing, beyond the Tianshan, enclosing Dongsheng, abutting Western Xia, crossing the Yellow River, west again through Jia and Mizhai, beyond Lintao, Huizhou, and Jishi, mingling with unconquered Qiang lands. From south of the Jishi range it bent east through Taozhou and Yanchuan Fort, followed the Wei to north of Dasanguan, entered Jingzhao along the hills, linked Shangzhou, and on the south took forty li southwest of Tang and Deng and the Huai’s middle reach as the boundary, facing the Song as paired inner and outer realms.

Adopting Liao practice, they established five capitals and fourteen grand commissioner prefectures, making nineteen circuits. Within this lay nine scattered prefectures, thirty-six jiedushi posts, twenty-two defense commanderies, seventy-three cishi commanderies, sixteen armies, and six hundred thirty-two counties. Later they promoted every army to a prefecture, or elevated castles, stockades, and forts to counties; Jin thus had one hundred seventy-nine capital-prefecture-zhou seats, fifty-one more counties than before, one hundred twenty-two walled posts and passes, and four hundred eighty-eight market towns. What the Zhenyou and Xingding crises had abolished was partly retained under the Great Yuan; whatever could be verified is recorded in full, and what cannot is left out.

Shangjing Circuit was Haigu, Jin’s ancestral land; in the state language “gold” was Anchuhu, and because the Anchuhu River rose there the place was called Jinyuan—the dynasty’s name likely came from this. In the founding era it was the inner land; in the first year of Tianjuan it became Shangjing. When Hailing moved the capital to Yan in Zhenyuan 1, the Shangjing name was dropped and only Huining Prefecture remained—anyone who called it “the heartland” faced charges of breach. In the seventh month of Dading 13 it was restored as Shangjing. Its mountains were Changbai, Qingling, Majiling, and Wandulu; its rivers the Anchuhu, Huntong, Liuliu, Songwa, and Yazi. One prefecture; four jiedushi circuits, one defense commandery, six counties, one town. There had been Huiping Prefecture, built in Tianhui 2 on the site of Liao’s Zhoute Fort, later abolished. Palaces included the Qianyuan Hall, built in Tianhui 3 and renamed Huangji in Tianjuan 1. Qingyuan Palace, built in Tianhui 13 with hall Chenju and gate Jinghui; in Tianjuan 2 portraits from Taizu downward were placed there as the remote ancestral shrine. The Audience Hall, built in Tianjuan 1 with hall Fude, gate Yanguang, sleeping hall Xiaoyi, and book hall Jigu. There were also Shide Palace and Mingde Hall, where Xizong once honored Taizong’s portrait and where the empress dowager lived. The Cooling Hall, built in Huangtong 2 with gate Yanfu, tower Wuyun, and hall Chongming. On the east wing’s south side were Donghua Hall and, next, Guangren. On the west wing’s south side were Xiqing Hall and, next, Mingyi. Behind Chongming stood Longshou on the east and Kuiwen on the west. The Seasonal Hall and its gate Fengyuan. There were the Taihe, Wude, and Xunfeng halls. Travel palaces included the Tiankai Hall at the Yaola spring camp. There was also a Huntong River travel palace. The Grand Temple and Altar of Soil and Grain, built in Huangtong 3 and razed in Zhenglong 2. The remote shrine: in Tianjuan 1 the spring pavilion became Tianyuan Hall, housing portraits of Taizu, Taizong, Huizong, and the consorts. The spring pavilion was where Taizu had once stayed. In Tianjuan 2 it became the remote temple; in Huangtong 7 the Qianwen Hall was renamed Shide; Zhenglong 2 destroyed it. In Dading 5 Taizu’s temple was rebuilt. Xingsheng Palace, Dezong’s residence, named in Tiande 1. Xingde Palace, later Yongzuo, was Ruizong’s home; Guangxing Palace was Shizong’s. In Zhenglong 2 Personnel Director Xiao Yanliang was ordered to raze palaces, ancestral shrines, great-family mansions, and Chuqing Temple, level the ground, and farm it. After Dading 21 the palaces were repaired and a city-god temple erected. In year 23 the walls were faced with brick. There was Huangwu Hall for cuju and archery. Yunjin and Linyi pavilions for hawking stood beside the Anchuhu.

Border forts: in the third month of Dading 21 Shizong, finding the northeast Rusi office’s nineteen forts inside Taizhou and Linfu Circuit’s old twenty-four forts misaligned, sent Dali direct official Pucha Zhangjianu and others to inspect their layout. They then lined new garrisons straight from Dalidai Shibao Fort northeast to the He’wu River sector, and from He’wu River Fort on Linfu Circuit west to Salinai. Reviewer Yelü Mei said, "The northeast and Linfu placements have stripped the land bare of fuel; let migrants pasture by water and grass first, send detachments to finish the forts, and dig moats for border defense." The emperor told officials to build houses on waterless pasture and to man every Linfu fort with freed subjects. The ministry proposed, "Twenty-four Linfu forts of thirty households each—720 in all—with a year’s rations once the works are done." Famine made the emperor postpone the plan and settle for digging defensive moats for now. In the fourth month Personnel director Xi Husihai surveyed the trench, but drifting sand and snow soon choked it, leaving the border poorly defended. He then said, "Two hundred fifty forts can be built at 300 laborers per fort per day, finishable in a month with grain in hand—a lasting border scheme. On Taizhou’s nine and Linfu’s five barren sites the state should erect outer shelters; west of Salinai, where the nineteen old forts lacked barracks, thirty thousand logs from the Great Salt Marsh office plus timber from ridges near Zhidong Fort could supply one official-built room per household."

If not, the gazetteer is wrong.
