According to the "Tribute of Yu", Yu Province corresponded to the lands of Jing Province. By the celestial divisions, from five degrees of Di to nine degrees of Wei marks the Great Fire; in the earthly branches it corresponds to mao; this was the Song allotment, part of Yu Province. From nine degrees of Liu to sixteen degrees of Zhang is the Quail Fire asterism; in the earthly branches it corresponds to wu; it is the allotted region of Zhou, belonging to the Three Rivers—that is, Henan, as noted in the geography treatise. The Huai star station likewise fell within Yu Province. Yu means "ease"; it signifies receiving the spirit of balance and harmony, with a disposition and nature that are calm and at ease, as noted in the geography treatise. Luoyang occupies the center of the land; tribute and levies were apportioned from it—thus when the Duke of Zhou built Luo, it was established here, as noted in the geography treatise. Local custom esteem merchants and trade; cleverness and artifice have become the norm. For this reason, the Han Treatise says, "The fault of the people of Zhou was clever deceit and pursuit of profit, holding righteousness cheap and wealth dear"—this has been so from antiquity. Xingyang was the ancient land of Zheng; Liang Commandery was the former capital of King Xiao of Liang—wayward, arrogant, and dissolute; such were its customs by old report, as noted in the geography treatise. By the present day, they prefer farming and hold ritual and learning in high regard; their ways have all changed from antiquity. Qiao, Jiyin, Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Runan, Huaiyang, and Ruyin commanderies share much the same customs, as noted in the geography treatise. Nanyang was the ancient homeland of emperors and the source of gentry officials; since the tripartite division of the realm it stood on the frontier, where war-horses gathered, and lost its old customs, as noted in the geography treatise. Shangluo and Hongnong originally shared the customs of the Three Adjuncts, as noted in the geography treatise. Since Emperor Gaozu of Han dispatched the people of Ba and Shu to settle the Three Qin, relocating seven clan leaders of Ba to dwell in the Shangluo region, the customs there have not changed from their original soil, as noted in the geography treatise. Those among the people who came from Ba still have customs much like Ba Commandery, as noted in the geography treatise.

In antiquity, Ji Province was the capital region of Yao, as noted in the geography treatise. When Shun divided the provinces into twelve, Ji Province was subdivided to establish You and Bing, as noted in the geography treatise. In astronomy, from seven degrees of Wei to eleven degrees of Bi is the Great Bridge asterism, belonging to Ji Province, as noted in the geography treatise. From ten degrees of Wei to eleven degrees of Nandou is the Suggesting Wood asterism, belonging to You Province, as noted in the geography treatise. From sixteen degrees of Wei to four degrees of Kui is the Ju Zi asterism, belonging to Bing Province, as noted in the geography treatise. From nine degrees of Liu to sixteen degrees of Zhang is the Quail Fire asterism, belonging to the Three Rivers—that is, Henei and Hedong, as noted in the geography treatise. The star stations of Huai were originally all within the domain of Ji Province; the imperial seat lay here, hence its bounds were especially great, as noted in the geography treatise. When Xia abolished You and Bing and merged them in, it recovered the old territory of Tang, as noted in the geography treatise. Xindu, Qinghe, Hejian, Boling, Hengshan, Zhao, Wu'an, and Xiangguo commanderies share much the same customs, as noted in the geography treatise. The people's nature is largely sincere and generous; they devote themselves to farming and sericulture and esteem Confucian learning, yet they suffer from sluggish heaviness, as noted in the geography treatise. Former ages said the gentlemen of Ji and You were blunt as mallets—this is what was meant, as noted in the geography treatise. The custom values spirited chivalry and loves forming cliques; their mutual devotion in life and death also springs from benevolence and righteousness, as noted in the geography treatise. For this reason, the "Ban Treatise" describes their local character: impassioned songs, generous laments, club robberies and grave robbing—these have been afflictions since antiquity. Tradition held that "In taking office, do not happen to meet the Ji region"—the harm truly lies here. Wei Commandery, where the capital of Ye stood, made floating cleverness the custom; the craft of carving was especially said to be exquisite and subtle; men and women in dress all vied in luxury and splendor—the inclinations they cultivated had acquired the air of the capitals, as noted in the geography treatise. People said: "Wei Commandery and Qinghe: Heaven can do nothing about them!" All these come from frivolity and cunning, as noted in the geography treatise. Ji and Henei commanderies obtained the old soil of Yin; examining old accounts, remnants of Zhou's teaching remained, as noted in the geography treatise. Ji was also the land of Wei, accustomed to Zhong You's valor; hence Han officials could act at discretion, and their frequent resort to killing sprang from this, as noted in the geography treatise. By the present day, the customs have shifted considerably, all turning toward ritual. In Changping and Shangdang, people greatly value farming and sericulture; their nature is especially plain and straight, with little of light deceit, as noted in the geography treatise. Hedong, Jiang, Wencheng, Linfen, Longquan, and Xihe—land fertile but with more barren than rich soil—hence they suffer from stinginess, as noted in the geography treatise. Their customs are hard and strong—is this not also the effect of climate and air? Taiyuan lies amid overlapping mountains and rivers and is truly the meeting place of a great capital; though originally the secondary capital of Later Qi, its population is abundant, yet it is not very artful, as noted in the geography treatise. Local custom resemble Shangdang considerably; the people's nature is fierce and bold, practiced in horses and arms. Lishi, Yanmen, Mayi, Dingxiang, Loufan, Zhuo, Shanggu, Yuyang, Beiping, Anle, and Liaoxi—all connect with frontier commanderies and share customs much like Taiyuan; hence from antiquity those who speak of brave knights-errant all point to You and Bing, as noted in the geography treatise. Yet Zhuo and Taiyuan, from former ages onward, have produced many refined literary gentlemen; though both are called frontier commanderies, their culture and teaching are not to be compared alike, as noted in the geography treatise. Under Qing Province, Beihai Commandery, Beihai Commandery had formerly had Qingzhou established; Later Zhou established a grand administrative office; in the fourteenth year of Kaihuang the office was abolished.

The Rites of Zhou, "Officers of the Regions": "Due east is called Qing Province." In the celestial offices, from eight degrees of Xu to fifteen degrees of Wei is the Dark Emptiness asterism; in the earthly branches it corresponds to zi; it is the allotted region of Qi, as noted in the geography treatise. When Wu Zha observed music and heard the song of Qi, he said: "How vast and grand the wind! The state cannot be measured." In Han times the custom grew ever more extravagant; woven gauze, silk damask, fine embroidery, and pure brocade were called the crown and girdle, clothing and shoes for all under Heaven, as noted in the geography treatise. At first Grand Duke Taigong made honoring the worthy and esteeming wisdom his teaching; hence gentry and commoners handed down the custom, all taking pride in merit and fame, relying on the classics, broad-minded and resourceful, with a relaxed and easy bearing, as noted in the geography treatise. Their failing was boastfulness and cliquishness; words and deeds diverged, as noted in the geography treatise. Qi Commandery was formerly called Jinan; its custom loves teaching adornment to sons and daughters and decadent melodies that can make bones leap and flesh fly, overturning and bewitching men's eyes, as noted in the geography treatise. The popular term "Qi singers" originally came from this, as noted in the geography treatise. The custom of Zhu'e County. At guest feasts and wedding gatherings, though the dishes are abundant, they merely taste the steamed and minced meats; if there is too much, it is called disrespect, and they mock one another—this is their difference. On the whole, the customs of these several commanderies differ little from antiquity; men mostly devote themselves to farming and sericulture and esteem learning; in returning to thrift and moderation, they have changed the old ways considerably. The people of Donglai are especially plain and rustic, hence they are particularly lacking in literary refinement, as noted in the geography treatise.
