Shaanxi Circuit covered the Yugong domains of Yong, Liang, Ji, and Yu, with all of Yong. It lay in the Dongjing and Yugui astral mansions; west to Qiang and Rong, east to Tong and Shaan, south to Shu and Han, north to Shuofang. It produced copper, salt, gold, and iron; silk, hemp, forests, and timber; the people prized farming and sericulture. Fengdu and the southern hills had fertile soil; twin canals irrigated the plain. Generally they prized swagger; wandering bravado was common, and some fought readily and held life cheap. Pu and Xie, once under Hedong, kept comparatively plain and steady customs. On the frontier saddle horses and hunting dominated; the people were hardy and plain. Liangquan lacked mulberry and hemp; cloth, salt, and dairy came from other prefectures. Shangluo had many illicit shrines; legal bans shifted the customs somewhat. Qin, Long, Yi, Wei, Jing, Yuan, Bin, Ning, Fu, Yan, Huan, and Qing all kept divided garrisons against surprise.
