In the "Tribute of Yu," Yangzhou was the land of the Huai and the sea, as noted in the geography treatise. In the celestial offices, from twelve degrees of Dou to seven degrees of Xuannü is the Star Chronogram asterism; in the earthly branches it corresponds to chou; Wu and Yue obtained this allotment, as noted in the geography treatise. The customs south of the Yangzi. Fire-plowing and water-weeding, eating fish and rice, taking fishing and hunting as occupations—though without stores of accumulated wealth, yet also without famine. Their customs trust ghosts and spirits and delight in excessive sacrifices; fathers and sons sometimes live apart—this is broadly so, as noted in the geography treatise. Jiangdu, Yiyang, Huainan, Zhongli, Qichun, Tongan, Lujiang, and Liyang—the nature of the people is all impetuous and forceful, the spirit of the region resolute and decisive; they harbor harm, regard death as returning home, and in battle prize deception—this was their old wind, as noted in the geography treatise. Since the pacification of Chen, their customs changed considerably; they came to esteem plain simplicity and love frugality; mourning rites and marriage gradually conformed to ritual, as noted in the geography treatise. The defects of their customs were somewhat remedied compared with antiquity, as noted in the geography treatise. Danyang was the site of the old capital; its population was originally abundant. Petty men mostly traded; gentlemen relied on official stipends; market lanes and shops rivaled the two capitals; people mixed from all five directions—hence the customs were quite similar, as noted in the geography treatise. Jingkou opened eastward to Wu and Kuaiji, connected south to rivers and lakes, and linked west to the capital region—it too was a great metropolis, as noted in the geography treatise. Its people from the beginning all practiced warfare and were called the finest troops under Heaven, as noted in the geography treatise. The custom took the fifth day of the fifth month as a contest of strength; each side gauged relative power and matched opponents—much like military drill, as noted in the geography treatise. Xuancheng, Piling, Wu, Kuaiji, Yuhang, and Dongyang shared much the same customs, as noted in the geography treatise. Yet these several commanderies had fertile marshes and plains, rich in land and sea produce, where rare goods gathered—hence merchants all converged, as noted in the geography treatise. Among them, gentlemen honored ritual; common folk were simple and generous—hence customs were clear and Daoist teaching flourished; this too was what the regional spirit held in esteem, as noted in the geography treatise. The customs of Yuzhang were quite like those of central Wu; its gentlemen were skilled at managing households, its petty men diligent in farming, as noted in the geography treatise. Men of rank often had several wives who exposed themselves in the marketplaces and competed to divide cash by the fen to supply their husbands, as noted in the geography treatise. When nominating filial and incorrupt candidates, they further required wealth; though a first wife had toiled for many years and her children filled the house, she might still be cast out to make way for a successor, as noted in the geography treatise. The custom had little litigation but esteemed song and dance, as noted in the geography treatise. Silkworms matured four or five times a year; people were diligent in spinning and weaving; some even washed yarn at night and finished cloth by dawn—the custom called this "cock-crow cloth." Xin'an, Yongjia, Jian'an, Sui'an, Poyang, Jiujiang, Linchuan, Luling, Nankang, and Yichun—their customs again resembled Yuzhang considerably, while the people of Luling were simple and honest and mostly lived to great age, as noted in the geography treatise. Yet in these several commanderies people often kept gu poisons, and Yichun was especially severe, as noted in the geography treatise. The method was on the fifth day of the fifth month to gather a hundred kinds of insects, from snakes down to lice, place them together in a vessel, and let them devour one another; the one kind remaining was kept—if a snake, it was called snake gu; if a louse, louse gu—and used to kill people, as noted in the geography treatise. Once ingested it entered the person's belly and ate the five viscera; when the victim died, its offspring passed into the gu keeper's household, as noted in the geography treatise. If for three years no one else was killed, the keeper himself would suffer its harm, as noted in the geography treatise. Generation after generation of descendants transmitted it without end; it could also pass with a woman in marriage, as noted in the geography treatise. Gan Bao called it a ghost, but in fact it was not, as noted in the geography treatise. After the turmoil of Hou Jing, most gu households died out; with no master, the gu flew along the roads and perished, as noted in the geography treatise.

From south of the Ling Range for more than twenty commanderies, the land was mostly low and damp, all with much miasma; people especially died young, as noted in the geography treatise. Nanhai and Jiaozhi were each a great metropolis; both lay near the sea, rich in rhinoceros, elephants, tortoise shell, and pearls—rare and precious goods—hence merchants who came mostly grew wealthy, as noted in the geography treatise. The nature of the people was all lightly fierce; they easily rose in rebellion; topknots and squatting sitting were their old wind, as noted in the geography treatise. The Li people were plain, straight, and trusted in good faith; the various Man were brave and self-reliant—all valued bribes over death and made wealth their heroism, as noted in the geography treatise. They dwelled in nests on cliffs and devoted their strength to farming, as noted in the geography treatise. They carved wood to make tokens of contract; once words were sworn, they never changed until death, as noted in the geography treatise. Fathers and sons had separate estates; if a father was poor, he might even pledge himself to his son, as noted in the geography treatise. All the Liao were thus. They also cast bronze into great drums; when first finished, they hung them in the courtyard and set out wine to summon their kind, as noted in the geography treatise. When guests came with wealthy sons or daughters, they made large hairpins of gold and silver, took them to strike the drum, and finally left them for the host—a thing called "bronze-drum hairpins." The custom loved mutual killing; many feuds were plotted; when they wished to attack one another they sounded this drum, and those who arrived were like clouds, as noted in the geography treatise. Whoever had a drum was called "Du Lao," and the multitude deferred to him, as noted in the geography treatise. Tracing the old matter. Zhao Tuo in Han times styled himself "great chieftain of the Man and Yi, old subject," hence the Li still call those they honor "Dao Lao." Through corrupted speech it was again called "Du Lao." Jingzhou, Nan Commandery. Nan Commandery formerly had Jingzhou established. Western Wei, because Liang was enfeoffed as a vassal state, again established the Jiangling grand administrative office, as noted in the geography treatise. Early in the Kaihuang era, the office was abolished. In the seventh year Liang was annexed; the Jiangling grand administrator was again established; in the twentieth year it was changed to the Jingzhou grand administrator, as noted in the geography treatise. At the beginning of Daye it was abolished, as noted in the geography treatise. The commandery governed 10 counties with a registered population of 58,836 households.

The "Documents". "Jing and Hengyang constitute Jing Province." Corresponding to the heavens above, from seventeen degrees of Zhang to eleven degrees of Zhen is the Quail Head asterism; in the earthly branches it corresponds to si; it is the allotment of Chu, as noted in the geography treatise. Its customs and products were quite like those of Yangzhou, as noted in the geography treatise. Its people were mostly fierce, bold, and resolute—probably also their inborn nature, as noted in the geography treatise. Nan, Yiling, Jingling, Mianyang, Yuanling, Qingjiang, Xiangyang, Chunling, Handong, Anlu, Yong'an, Yiyang, Jiujiang, and Jiangxia commanderies mostly mixed with Man on the left; those who lived intermingled with Han people were indistinguishable from the various Hua, as noted in the geography treatise. Those dwelling secluded in mountain valleys had unintelligible speech and wholly different tastes and dwellings—quite the same customs as Ba and Yu, as noted in the geography treatise. The various Man originally sprang from there, inheriting from Panhu afterward—hence their dress and adornments mostly used patterned cloth, as noted in the geography treatise. To address one another as "Man" was a deep taboo, as noted in the geography treatise. After the Jin house moved south, Nan Commandery and Xiangyang both became strategic strongholds where people gathered from all directions—hence there were ever more lines of gentry and officials, and they slightly came to honor ritual, righteousness, and the classics, as noted in the geography treatise. Jiujiang was the strategic hinge; Jiangxia, Jingling, and Anlu each had famous provinces as weighty posts of frontier defense—their people differed from the other commanderies, as noted in the geography treatise. Broadly speaking, Jing Province mostly revered ghosts and especially valued sacrificial affairs; in old times Qu Yuan composed the "Nine Songs"—probably from this, as noted in the geography treatise. On the full moon of the fifth month Qu Yuan went to the Miluo; local people pursued him to Dongting but did not see him; the lake was large and the boats small, and none could cross—so they sang. "How can we cross the lake!" Then they raced their oars homeward, gathering at pavilions; the practice was handed down and became the sport of racing boats, as noted in the geography treatise. Swift oars flew together, boat songs rang in confusion, shaking water and land; spectators were like clouds—all commanderies did so, but Nan Commandery and Xiangyang especially, as noted in the geography treatise. The two commanderies also had the sport of pulling hooks, said to come from military drill. A Chu general about to attack Wu used it to teach warfare; the practice flowed on unchanged and was handed down. When the hook first moved, there were drum beats; crowds shouted songs, startling far and near; popularly they said this overcame evil to bring abundant harvest, as noted in the geography treatise. The practice also spread to other commanderies, as noted in the geography treatise. When Emperor Jianwen of Liang governed Yong Region, he issued an edict forbidding it; thereby it largely ceased. In their rites of death and mourning, though without disheveled hair and bared shoulders, they still knew shouting and weeping, as noted in the geography treatise. At first death the corpse was immediately taken out to the central courtyard and not kept indoors, as noted in the geography treatise. When encoffining was complete, it was sent to the mountains, with thirteen years as the limit, as noted in the geography treatise. First an auspicious day was chosen; the bones were transferred to a small coffin—this was called "gathering the bones." Gathering the bones had to be done by the son-in-law; the Man greatly valued sons-in-law, hence this was entrusted to them, as noted in the geography treatise. The bone-gatherers removed the flesh and took the bones, discarding small ones and keeping large ones, as noted in the geography treatise. On the night of burial, sons-in-law—sometimes several tens—gathered at the clan elder's house, wearing mang-fiber heart caps and bamboo hats, called "Mao Sui." Each held a bamboo pole about one zhang long, three or four chi at the top still bearing branches and leaves, as noted in the geography treatise. Their ranks advancing and retreating all had rhythm; singing, chanting, and shouting also had fixed patterns, as noted in the geography treatise. Tradition says when Panhu first died he was placed in a tree; then bamboo and wood were used to pierce and bring him down—hence handed down to the present as custom, as noted in the geography treatise. They concealed the matter and called it "piercing the Northern Dipper." After burial and sacrifice, kin near and far all wept; when weeping ended and the family had arrived, they merely drank in joy and returned—there was no further sacrificial weeping, as noted in the geography treatise. The Zuo people were again different. No mourning garments, no soul-recalling rites. At first death the corpse was placed in a lodge; youths of the neighborhood each held bow and arrow and circled the corpse singing, beating the bow with the arrow as rhythm, as noted in the geography treatise. The song lyrics told pleasures of a lifetime up to the final end— broadly like today's elegies, as noted in the geography treatise. After dozens of stanzas they clothed and coffined the body and sent it to the mountains, separately making a hut to place the coffin, as noted in the geography treatise. Some also buried at the village side; after twenty or thirty funerals they were collectively interred in stone caves, as noted in the geography treatise. Changsha Commandery also mixed with Yiyan, called Mo Yao; they said their ancestors had merit and were permanently exempt from corvée—hence the name, as noted in the geography treatise. The men wore only white cloth drawers and jackets, with no caps or trousers; the women wore blue cloth jackets and patterned cloth skirts, generally without shoes or sandals, as noted in the geography treatise. Marriage and betrothal used iron cobalt ore as bride-price, as noted in the geography treatise. Wuling, Baling, Lingling, Guiyang, Liyang, Hengshan, and Xiping were all the same, as noted in the geography treatise. Their funeral rites were quite the same as those of the various Zuo, as noted in the geography treatise.
