Treatise 25: Administrative Districts, Part 1
2
○ Yang, Southern Xu, Xu, Southern Yan, and Yan Provinces

西
During the reign of Emperor Yao of Tang, twelve regional overseers were appointed. After Yu brought the floods under control and settled the land, he reorganized the realm into nine provinces. Jizhou, where Yao had his capital, encompassed a vast extent of territory. Yan was defined by the Ji and Yellow rivers; Qing by the sea and Mount Tai; Xu by the sea, Mount Tai, and the Huai; Yang by the Huai and the sea; Jing by the Jing region and Mount Hengyang; Yu by the Jing region and the Yellow River; Liang by Mount Huayang and the Black Water; and Yong by the Black Water and the Western River. From the Xia through the Shang, the arrangement remained unchanged. Once the Zhou held the empire, they annexed Xu to Qing and Liang to Yong, and carved out You and Bing from the lands of Jizhou. In the early Han, Xu and Liang were re-established as separate provinces. Emperor Wu drove back the northern and southern barbarians, expanded the frontiers, set up Jiaozhi in the south and Shuofang in the north, renamed Yong as Liang and Liang as Yi, and thus made thirteen provinces in all, with the metropolitan Directorate of the Minister of Works overseeing the Three Metropolitan Areas and the Three He commanderies. Under the Eastern Han, Shuofang was abolished and Jiaozhi was renamed Jiao Province, leaving twelve provinces in all; while the metropolitan Directorate's jurisdiction stayed as before. When the three kingdoms divided the realm, Wu held Yang, Jing, and Jiao; Shu held Yi; and Wei retained nine provinces. Wu later split Jiao to create Guang Province. After Wei conquered Shu at the end of the period, Yi was further divided to form Liang. In the first year of Taikang (280), when Emperor Wu of Jin reunified the empire, there were sixteen provinces in all. Later, Qin was split from Liang and Yong, Jiang from Jing and Yang, Ning from Yi, and Ping from You, bringing the total to twenty.

西 西
After the northern peoples threw the Central Plains into chaos, Si, Ji, Yong, Liang, Qing, Bing, Yan, Yu, You, and Ping were overrun in a single stroke. Refugees fled south, and provincial administrations were set up as exclave jurisdictions far from their original territories. South of the Yangzi, Jing was further split to form Xiang, with boundaries shifting repeatedly. The realm held Yang, Jing, Xiang, Jiang, Liang, Yi, Jiao, and Guang; of Xu, somewhat more than half; of Yu, only the city of Qiao. By the Liu Song period, Southern Xu was carved from Yang, Southern Yan from Xu, and all lands west of the Yangzi that had belonged to Yang were transferred to Yu; Yong was split from Jing, Ying from Jing and Xiang, Si from Jing, Yue from Guang, Ji from Qing, and Northern and Southern Qin from Liang. Early in Emperor Xiaowen's reign, the Northern Wei drove south; Qing, Ji, Xu, Yan, and the lands west of the Huai in Yu were all lost; and everything north of the Huai became enemy-held land. Xu was then re-established at Zhongli, Huaiyin served as Northern Yan, and Qing and Ji were administered from the county of Ganyu. This treatise generally takes the eighth year of Daming (464) as its baseline; subsequent changes are noted as they arose. For metropolitan prefectures, marquisates, and princely chancelleries, the standard is the end of the Shengming era (477).

The geography is too irregular to recount in full detail, chiefly because names changed abruptly and boundaries were redrawn again and again—a single commandery or county might be split into four or five parts; and those fragments in turn were repeatedly merged and split. After countless changes, even the most skilled calculator could not track them all; cross-checking the sources does not yield perfect certainty. The present account cross-checks Ban Gu's and Ma Biao's treatises, the Taikang and Yuankang household registers, Wang Yin's Topography of the Land, the Jin court diaries, the Yongchu Commanderies and States, He and Xu's work on provinces and commanderies, and various other geographical compilations. Moreover, no geographical treatise survives for the Three Kingdoms period; what is known comes from imperial annals. Commandery foundations are sometimes noted, but county foundations are not recorded. Here the Continuation of Han Commanderies and States is checked against the Taikang Gazetteer of the Land, and discrepancies between them are weighed against each other for verification. Commanderies and counties unchanged since Han are marked "Han old"; those that were moved or renamed are traced to their origins. When an entry simply says that a given work "does not mention" a place, that place existed in earlier sources. When no date of establishment is given, the historical record is silent on the point.

Inspector of Yang Province: under Former Han the inspector had no fixed seat, as with other provinces; under Later Han the seat was at Liyang; under Wei and Jin at Shouchun; after Jin conquered Wu, at Jianye. In the fourth year of Xiankang (338), a frontier Wei Commandery was established (see elsewhere), along with Feixiang (see elsewhere) and Yuancheng, a Han-era county that under Jin belonged to Yangping; Yuancheng was later abolished. A frontier Guangchuan Commandery was also set up (see elsewhere), governing only the county of Guangchuan; early in the Song it was reduced to a county subordinate to Wei Commandery. South of the Yangzi, frontier Gaoyang Commandery (see elsewhere) and Tangyi Commandery (see elsewhere) were also established. Gaoyang governed Beixin (see elsewhere) and Bolu. Bolu was the fief granted to Huo Guang and did not exist in either Han dynasty; under Jin it belonged to Gaoyang. These were its two counties. Tangyi governed only the county of Tangyi; later Tangyi was abolished and merged into Gaoyang, and Gaoyang in turn was merged into Wei Commandery. All were subordinated to Yang Province and administered from the capital as attached jurisdictions. In the eleventh year of Yuanjia (434) it was abolished and its population incorporated into Jiankang. In the first year of Xiaojian (454), Kuaiji, Dongyang, Xin'an, Yongjia, and Linhai were split from Yang to form Eastern Yang Province. In the third year of Daming (459) the province was abolished and its territory made the royal domain, with a Southern Terrace attendant censor supervising its commanderies in the manner of a provincial staff. Eastern Yang was meanwhile renamed simply Yang Province. In the eighth year (464) the royal domain was abolished, Yang was re-established, and what had been Yang reverted to Eastern Yang. In the first year of Yongguang (465), under the Deposed Former Emperor, Eastern Yang was abolished and merged into Yang. In the third year of Shengming (479), under Emperor Shun, the inspector of Yang was redesignated governor. It governed ten commanderies and eighty counties. Registered households: 143,296; population: 1,455,685.

8
Magistrate of Jurong: a county dating from the Han.
9
Grand Administrator of Kuaiji: established under Qin, with its seat at Wu. In the fourth year of Yongjian (129), Kuaiji was split to form Wu Commandery, and the seat of Kuaiji was moved to Shanyin. It governed ten counties, with 52,228 registered households and a population of 348,014. Distance from the capital: 1,355 li by water, the same by land.

15
Magistrate of Zhuji: a county dating from the Han.
16
Magistrate of Shining: according to He Chengtian's gazetteer, established late in Han by splitting off from Shangyu. Hei's Continuation of the Kuaiji Record states: "In the fourth year of Yongjian under Emperor Shun, it was established from the southern district of Shangyu." The Continuation of the Han Treatise does not mention it. The Jin Gazetteer of the Land for the third year of Taikang (282) does.
17

18
Magistrate of Mao: a county dating from the Han.
19

In the eighth year (464) it reverted to its former jurisdiction. It governed twelve counties, with 50,488 registered households and a population of 424,812. Distance from the capital: 670 li by water, 520 li by land.
21
Magistrate of Wu: a county dating from the Han.
22
Magistrate of Lou: a county dating from the Han.
23
Magistrate of Jiaxing: this place was originally called Changshui and was renamed Youquan under Qin. In the fourth year of Huanglong (232), Youquan produced an auspicious grain crop and was renamed Hexing. Because Sun Hao's father's name was He, it was renamed again as Jiaxing.
24
Magistrate of Haiyu: established in the fourth year of Taikang (283) by splitting off the Yuxiang district of Wu County.
25
Magistrate of Haiyan: a county dating from the Han. The Wu Record states: "It was originally Wuyuan Township and was made Haiyan County under Qin."
26
Magistrate of Yanguan: a county dating from the Han. The Wu Record claims: "Yanguan originally belonged to Jiaxing; Wu made it the seat of the Haichang commandant, and it was later converted to a county." This is incorrect.
27
Magistrate of Qiantang: a county dating from the Han.
28
Magistrate of Fuyang: a county dating from the Han. It was originally called Fuchun. In the fourth year of Huangwu (225) it was made Dong'an Commandery; and in the seventh year (228) abolished. Because Empress Dowager Zheng of Emperor Jianwen tabooed the character chun, Emperor Xiaowu renamed it Fuyang.
29
西
Magistrate of Xincheng: the region southwest of the Zhe River was called Tongxi; Wu established Xincheng County here, which was later merged with Tonglu. The Jin Taikang Gazetteer of the Land does not mention it. Zhang Bo states: "It was established at the end of Jin." It may have been established late in the Taikang era and soon abolished again. It was re-established in the ninth year of Xianhe (334).
30
Magistrate of Jiande: established under Wu by splitting off from Fuchun.
31
Magistrate of Tonglu: established under Wu by splitting off from Fuchun.

39
Magistrate of Yuqian: a Han-era county formerly under Danyang.
40
Grand Administrator of Huainan: established under Qin as Jiujiang Commandery, which also encompassed Lujiang and Yuzhang. In the fourth year of Gaodi (203 BCE) it was renamed the Huainan state; Yuzhang was split off, and under Emperor Wen Lujiang Commandery was created. In the first year of Yuanshou (122 BCE) it was again made Jiujiang Commandery, with its seat at Shouchun. Under Later Han the seat was moved to Yinling County. Under Wei it was again called Huainan and the seat returned to Shouchun. In the first year of Taikang (280), Liyang (see elsewhere), Dangtu, and Xundao were re-established; in the second year Zhongli (see elsewhere) was as well—all counties dating from the Han. During the Three Kingdoms the Yangzi-Huai region was a war zone, with uninhabited belts hundreds of li wide. These counties lay north of the Yangzi on the Huainan side; their lands stood empty and their populations had vanished. After Wu was conquered, the people returned home and the counties were re-established. Later, as the north fell into chaos and invaders pushed south repeatedly, many Huainan people fled south. Early in Emperor Cheng's reign, Su Jun and Zu Yue rebelled along the Yangzi and Huai, and northern invaders swept in again. As ever more refugees crossed the Yangzi, a frontier Huainan Commandery and its counties were set up south of the river. Late in Jin, Yuhu County in Danyang was carved off to form Huainan's jurisdiction. In the sixth year of Daming (462), Huainan was merged into Xuancheng, and Xuancheng moved its seat to Yuhu. In the eighth year (464) Huainan was re-established under Southern Yu Province. In the third year of Taishi (467) it was returned to Yang Province. It governed six counties, with 5,362 registered households and a population of 25,840. Distance from the capital: 170 li by water, 140 li by land.
41

42
Magistrate of Dangtu: under Emperor Cheng of Jin, established with Xundao as a frontier county; late in Jin its territory was carved from Yuhu.
43
Magistrate of Fanchang: a Han-era name originally belonging to Yingchuan. Under Wei, Yingchuan was split to form Xiangcheng, to which it then belonged. During the Jin disorders Xiangcheng Commandery was abolished and the county placed under Huainan, with territory carved from Yuhu.
44
Magistrate of Xiangyuan: its territory was originally Wuhu. Wuhu County: a county dating from the Han. By the end of Jin, Xiangyuan County was established under Shangdang. Refugees from Shangdang crossed the Yangzi and set up frontier commanderies and counties administered from Wuhu; later Shangdang Commandery was reduced to a county under Huainan. In the ninth year of Yuanjia (432) Shangdang County was abolished and merged into Xiangyuan.
45

Magistrate of Jing: a county dating from the Han.
54
Magistrate of Lincheng: established under Wu.
55

57
西

Distance from the capital: 2,019 li by water, the same by land.
66
Magistrate of Zhang'an: the Continuation of the Han Treatise states: "Former seat in Min territory; renamed under Emperor Guangwu." The Jin Taikang Record states: "Originally Huipu Township south of Yin County; established in the Zhanghe era under Emperor Zhang." It is unclear which account is correct.
67
Magistrate of Linhai: established under Wu by splitting off from Zhang'an.
68
Magistrate of Ninghai: in He's Gazetteer, a Han-era county. Neither the Treatises of the Two Han nor the Jin Taikang Gazetteer of the Land mentions it.

77
Inspector of Southern Xu Province: during the great upheaval of the Yongjia era (307–313), refugees from You, Ji, Qing, Bing, Yan, and northern Xu north of the Huai fled across the Huai in waves; some also crossed the Yangzi into Jingling Commandery. In the fourth year of Xianhe (329), Minister of Works Xi Jian relocated Huainan refugees into Jingling's counties; those south of the Yangzi or still north of it were given frontier commanderies and counties to govern them. Xu and Yan were sometimes administered north of the Yangzi, where frontier You, Ji, Qing, and Bing were also established. In the seventh year of Yixi (411), the north of the Huai was first made Northern Xu, while Huainan remained Xu Province. Later You and Ji were merged into Xu, and Qing into Yan. In the second year of Yongchu (421), Xu was prefixed as Southern Xu, while the north of the Huai was simply Xu. In the eighth year of Yuanjia (431), the north of the Yangzi became Southern Yan and the south Southern Xu, seated at Jingkou; Jingling in Yang and nine Yan commanderies south of the Yangzi were placed under it, so Southern Xu encompassed jurisdictions of Xu, Yan, You, Ji, Qing, Bing, and Yang. The Yongchu second-year Commanderies and States Gazetteer also lists Southern Pei, Southern Xiapi, Guangping, Guangling, Xuyi, Zhongli, Hailing, and Shanyang. Southern Pei, Guangling, Hailing, Shanyang, Xuyi, and Zhongli were transferred to Southern Yan; Southern Xiapi was merged into Southern Pengcheng and Guangping into Southern Taishan. It now governs seventeen commanderies and sixty-three counties, with 72,472 registered households and a population of 420,640. Distance from the capital: 240 li by water, 200 li by land.
78
西 西
Grand Administrator of Southern Donghai: Donghai Commandery (see elsewhere). Early under Emperor Yuan of Jin, the northern part of Haiyu in Wu was carved off as Donghai Commandery, with Tan, Ju, and Licheng established while Zhugai and Xiangben were administered from Qu'a. Under Emperor Mu in the Yonghe era the seat moved out of Jingkou, and Tan and the other three were administered from the capital. In the eighth year of Yuanjia (431) Southern Xu was established; Donghai became its metropolitan commandery and Dantu was placed under it. Tan and Licheng both became territories with actual jurisdiction. The Yongchu Commanderies and States lists Xiangben (see elsewhere), Zhugai, Houqiu (all Han-era names), and Xixi, established south of the Yangzi; in the twelfth year of Yuanjia (435) Houqiu was abolished and merged into Xiangben. He and Xu omit Houqiu; the rest matches the Yongchu gazetteer. Xiangben, Zhugai, and Xixi were abolished later in Xu's gazetteer. It governed six counties, with 5,342 registered households and a population of 33,658.

The heir apparent of Prince of Donghai Sima Yue was named Pi, and the Donghai fief had originally drawn its income from Piling. In the fifth year of Yongjia (311) the emperor renamed it Jinling. At first the seat was moved from Piling to Dantu. Early in the Taixing era, the commandery and Dantu County were both administered at Jingkou; Chi Jian later moved the seat back to Dantu.

西
Inspector of Southern Yan Province: amid turmoil in the Central Plains, refugees from the north fled south in great numbers; Emperor Cheng of Jin created Southern Yan Province, provisionally seated at Jingkou. Southern Qing and Bing provinces were also set up at the time; in the first year of Yongchu (420), Bing was abolished and absorbed into Southern Yan. In the eighth year of Yuanjia (431), the province was first bounded by lands between the Yangzi and Huai, with its seat at Guangling. The Yongchu gazetteer lists fourteen commanderies. Southern Gaoping, Southern Pingchang, Southern Jiyin, Southern Puyang, Southern Taishan, Jiyang, and Southern Lushan now all fall under Xu Province. There was also Eastern Yan Commandery, set up south of the Yangzi from Puyang; it governed Yan County—Southern Yan under Former Han, Yan under Later Han—both formerly under Dong Commandery. The Taikang Geography assigns it to Puyang. Together with Baima, Pingchang, and Kaocheng—four counties in all. In the eighteenth year of Yuanjia (441), Kaocheng was abolished and merged into Yan. In the nineteenth year (442), Eastern Yan Commandery was reduced to Eastern Yan County under Southern Puyang; the commandery was abolished again afterward. Southern Dongping Commandery governed Fan, Sheqiu, and Licheng—three counties altogether. Gaomi Commandery governed Chunyu, Qianzou, Yingling, and Yi'an—four counties altogether. Southern Qi Commandery governed Anxi and Linzi—two counties altogether. Southern Pingyuan Commandery governed Pingyuan, Gaotang, and Chiping (see elsewhere)—three counties altogether. Jimin Commandery was set up south of the Yangzi; it governed Yingcheng and Jinning, the latter also a Yangzi-crossing establishment—two counties altogether. Yanmen Commandery, a Han-era seat, governed Loufan (see elsewhere) and Yinguan—written with the character for "observe" under Former Han and the homophonous character for "office" under Later Han and Jin. Guangwu: under Former Han it belonged to Taiyuan; under Later Han and in the Jin Taikang Geography it belonged to Yanmen. Together with Guo and Mayi, all Han-era names—five counties in all. Altogether seven commanderies and twenty-three counties were abolished and assigned to Southern Xu Province. He Chengtian's gazetteer of frontier seats also records Zhongli, Yanmen, Pingyuan, Dongping, and Northern Pei—five commanderies. Zhongli now falls under Xu Province. Yanmen governed Loufan, Yinguan, and Guangwu—three counties. Pingyuan governed Chiping, Linzi, Yingcheng, and Pingyuan—four counties. Dongping governed Fan, Chaoyang, and Licheng—three counties. Northern Pei governed Fuli, Xiao, Xiang, and Pei—four counties. Fuli was a county dating from the Han. The remaining counties are discussed elsewhere. Fourteen counties in all. The Daily Records note that in the eleventh year of Yuanjia (434), Pinglu in Southern Yan's Dongping was merged into Fan; Shouzhang into Chaoyang; Jimin and Jinning in Pingyuan into Yingcheng. Jimin Commandery had already been reduced to a county. Gaotang was merged into Chiping. These five counties abolished in the eleventh year of Yuanjia suggest Pinglu and Shouzhang ought to appear in the Yongchu gazetteer, yet neither is listed—the reason is unclear. The Liu Song gazetteer lists Southern Dongping with Fan, Chaoyang, Licheng, Loufan, Yinguan, Guangwu, Chiping, Yingcheng, Linzi, and Pingyuan—ten counties—indicating that Yanmen and Pingyuan were absorbed into Dongping. In the fifth year of Daming (461), Dongping was merged into Guangling. Song also set up five new refugee commanderies: Xinping, Northern Huaiyang, Northern Jiyin, Northern Xiapi, and Dongguan. In the twenty-eighth year of Yuanjia (451), Southern Yan Province relocated its seat to Xuyi. In the thirtieth year (453), Southern Yan was abolished and merged into Southern Xu; it was later re-established with its seat back at Guangling. The Liu Song gazetteer records nine commanderies and thirty-nine counties, with 31,115 registered households and a population of 159,362. By the end of Song it governed eleven commanderies and forty-four counties. Distance from the capital: 250 li by water, 180 li by land.

Together with Feiru, Lu, Zhending, and Xinshi—five counties in all. All are names dating from both Han dynasties. Feiru belonged to Liaoxi; Lu to Shangdang; Zhending, a Former Han seat of Zhending commandery, was placed under Changshan after Later Han abolished Zhending commandery, and remained under Changshan in Jin. Xinshi belonged to Zhongshan under both Han dynasties and under Jin. The Yongchu Commanderies and States states that the four counties originally belonged to Liaoxi, indicating that the frontier Liaoxi commandery was abolished and merged into Guangling at the end of Jin.

Grand Administrator of Southern Pei: Pei Commandery (see elsewhere). He Chengtian's treatise says Northern Pei was newly established; Xu Ai's treatise lists Southern Pei.

By the Jin both belonged to Pei. Zhuqiu belonged to Liang under Former Han and to Pei under Later Han and in the Jin Taikang Gazetteer of the Land. Four counties. Zhuqiu had its seat at Wuxi; the others were administered from Guangling. In the twelfth year of Yuanjia (435), Zhuyi of Northern Pei Commandery was merged into Zhuqiu; neither He Chengtian nor Xu Ai lists these two counties, and the matter remains unclear. The Court Diaries record that in the fifth year of Daming (461), Guangling was split to form Pei Commandery, seated at Feiru County. Feiru County no longer existed by then; the seat must have been placed at the site of the former Feiru county. Neither the two Han dynasties nor the Jin Taikang Gazetteer of the Land mentions Feiru County. Pei Commandery was likely abolished before the fifth year of Daming and then re-established at that time. It now governed three counties, with 1,109 registered households and a population of 12,970.
