Guangnan East and West Circuits broadly covered the territory of Jing and Yang in the Tribute of Yu, corresponding to the Ox-Leader and Maiden asterisms. To the south it bordered the sea, to the west it controlled the Yi stockades, and to the north it was bounded by the Five Ridges. It produced rhinoceros horn and ivory, elephants, tortoiseshell, pearls, silver, copper, and local cloth. The people were quick-tempered and fierce by nature. At the start of the Song, because the population was sparse and the land extensive, prefectures and counties were merged and reduced. Yet each year maritime trade brought merchants flocking in; Guilin, Yong, and Yi bordered the Yi and Liao peoples, and garrisons were posted there. For the most part local marriage, burial, and dress customs fell far short of proper ritual. They favored illicit cults and killed people as sacrifices to spirits. Dense forests bred much miasma, so officials appointed there received preferential rank and salary. In Chun, Mei, and other prefectures the pestilential heat was especially severe, and natives were allowed to hold office. During the Jingde era officials were ordered to administer in autumn and winter, and touring supervisory missions were likewise directed to avoid midsummer miasma. When people fell ill they did not call doctors or take medicine. Dan, Ya, and Wan'an were small prefectures with few households, and were commonly administered by military adjutants from Qiong Prefecture. Several commanderies of Annam lay in remote territory and were kept only in loose attachment without severance.
