自封建變為郡縣，有天下者，漢、隋、唐、宋為盛，然幅員之廣，咸不逮元。 漢梗于北狄，隋不能服東夷，唐患在西戎，宋患常在西北。 若元，則起朔漠，併西域，平西夏，滅女真，臣高麗，定南詔，遂下江南，而天下為一，故其地北踰陰山，西極流沙，東盡遼左，南越海表。 蓋漢，東西九千三百二里，南北一萬三千三百六十八里； 唐，東西九千五百一十一里，南北一萬六千九百一十八里； 元，東南所至不下漢、唐，而西北則過之，有難以里數限者矣。
Once the feudal order gave way to commanderies and counties, the dynasties that ruled the realm — Han, Sui, Tang, and Song — each reached their height; yet in sheer territorial breadth, none could compare with the Yuan. Han was hemmed in by the northern barbarians, Sui failed to bring the eastern tribes to heel, Tang's woes came from the western frontier, and Song's troubles never left the northwest. The Yuan, by contrast, rose from the northern steppe, absorbed the Western Regions, pacified Western Xia, destroyed the Jurchen state, brought Goryeo to submission, settled Nanzhao, and finally swept down into Jiangnan until the realm was united. Their domain ran north beyond Yinshan, west to the shifting sands, east to the limits of Liaodong, and south across the seas. Han territory spanned 9,302 li from east to west and 13,368 li from north to south; Tang territory measured 9,511 li east to west and 16,918 li north to south; The Yuan domain in the southeast was no smaller than Han's or Tang's, while in the northwest it surpassed them both — stretches of land that no tally in li could fully contain.

初，太宗六年甲午，滅金，得中原州郡。 七年乙未，下詔籍民，自燕京、順天等三十六路，戶八十七萬三千七百八十一，口四百七十五萬四千九百七十五。 憲宗二年壬子，又籍之，增戶二十餘萬。 世祖至元七年，又籍之，又增三十餘萬。 十三年，平宋，全有版圖。 二十七年，又籍之，得戶一千一百八十四萬八百有奇。 於是南北之戶總書於策者，一千三百一十九萬六千二百有六，口五千八百八十三萬四千七百一十有一，而山澤溪洞之民不與焉。 立中書省一，行中書省十有一：曰嶺北，曰遼陽，曰河南，曰陝西，曰四川，曰甘肅，曰雲南，曰江浙，曰江西，曰湖廣，曰征東，分鎮籓服，路一百八十五，府三十三，州三百五十九，軍四，安撫司十五，縣一千一百二十七。 文宗至順元年，戶部錢糧戶數一千三百四十萬六百九十九，視前又增二十萬有奇，漢、唐極盛之際，有不及焉。 蓋嶺北、遼陽與甘肅、四川、雲南、湖廣之邊，唐所謂羈縻之州，往往在是，今皆賦役之，比於內地； 而高麗守東籓，執臣禮惟謹，亦古所未見。 地大民眾，後世狃於治安，而不知詰戎兵、慎封守，積習委靡，一旦有變，而天下遂至於不可為。 嗚呼！ 盛極而衰，固其理也。
At the outset, in the sixth year of Emperor Taizong (the jiayin year), the Jin dynasty was overthrown and the commanderies and prefectures of the Central Plains came into Mongol hands. In the seventh year (yiwei), an edict ordered a census of the people. From Yanjing, Shuntian, and thirty-six other circuits there were 873,781 households and 4,754,975 persons. In the second year of Emperor Xianzong (the renzi year), another census was taken, adding more than two hundred thousand households. In the seventh year of the Zhiyuan era under Emperor Shizu, yet another census was held, adding more than three hundred thousand households. In the thirteenth year, the Song was pacified and the dynasty held the complete territorial map. In the twenty-seventh year, another census was taken, yielding a figure of more than eleven million, eight hundred forty thousand households. The combined north and south total entered in the registers came to 13,196,206 households and 58,834,711 persons — not including the peoples of mountain fastnesses, marshes, stream valleys, and cave settlements. One central Secretariat was established, along with eleven Regional Secretariats — Lingbei, Liaoyang, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan, Jiangzhe, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Zhengdong — each governing a portion of the frontier domains. The realm comprised 185 circuits, 33 prefectures (fu), 359 subprefectures (zhou), 4 military commands (jun), 15 pacification commissions, and 1,127 counties. In the first year of the Zhishun era under Emperor Wenzong, the Ministry of Revenue counted 13,400,699 tax-paying households — more than two hundred thousand above the earlier figure. Even at the peak of Han and Tang, the numbers had never reached this level. The borderlands of Lingbei, Liaoyang, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Huguang — regions where Tang had maintained its loosely governed "tributary" prefectures — now all paid taxes and performed corvée labor on the same terms as the interior; while Goryeo held the eastern marches and performed the duties of a vassal with scrupulous fidelity — a state of affairs without precedent in earlier ages. The empire was vast and populous, yet later generations grew complacent in peace, neglecting frontier defense and border vigilance. Habit bred slackness, and when crisis struck, the realm slid into ruin beyond recovery. Alas! That greatness at its height must give way to decline is the way of things.

唐以前以郡領縣而已，元則有路、府、州、縣四等。 大率以路領州、領縣，而腹裏或有以路領府、府領州、州領縣者，其府與州又有不隸路而直隸省者，具載於篇，而其沿革則溯唐而止焉。 作《地理志》。 凡路，低於省一字。 府與州直隸省者，亦低於省一字。 其有宣慰司、廉訪司，亦止低於省一字。 各路錄事司與路所親領之縣與府、州之隸路者，低於路一字。 府與州所領之縣，低於府與州一字。 府領州、州又領縣者，又低於縣一字。 路所親領之縣若府若州，曰領縣若干、府若干、州若干； 府與州所領之縣，則曰若干縣，所以別之也。
Before the Tang, commanderies simply oversaw counties; under the Yuan there were four administrative levels: circuit (lu), prefecture (fu), subprefecture (zhou), and county (xian). As a rule, circuits oversaw subprefectures and counties; in the metropolitan interior, some circuits also governed prefectures, prefectures governed subprefectures, and subprefectures governed counties. Certain prefectures and subprefectures reported directly to the Secretariat rather than to a circuit. All are recorded in full below, with historical changes traced back only to the Tang dynasty. Thus is composed the "Treatise on Geography." All circuits are set one indent level below the Secretariat. Prefectures and subprefectures under direct Secretariat jurisdiction are likewise indented one level below the Secretariat. Pacification commissions and surveillance commissions are also indented one level below the Secretariat. Each circuit's record office, counties under direct circuit jurisdiction, and prefectures and subprefectures subordinate to the circuit are indented one level below the circuit. Counties under prefectural or subprefectural jurisdiction are indented one level below their parent fu or zhou. Where a prefecture governs a subprefecture and the subprefecture in turn governs counties, those entries are indented one level below the county. Counties, prefectures, or subprefectures under direct circuit jurisdiction are listed as "governing X counties, X prefectures, X subprefectures"; counties under fu or zhou jurisdiction are simply listed as "X counties" — a convention to distinguish the two arrangements.

The central Secretariat governed Shandong, Shanxi, and Hebei — the metropolitan interior — comprising twenty-nine circuits, eight subprefectures, three dependent prefectures, ninety-one dependent subprefectures, and three hundred forty-six dependent counties. Relay stations were established along each circuit, totaling one hundred ninety-eight locations.

大都路，唐幽州范陽郡。 遼改燕京。 金遷都，為大興府。 元太祖十年，克燕，初為燕京路，總管大興府。 太宗七年，置版籍。 世祖至元元年，中書省臣言：「開平府闕庭所在，加號上都，燕京分立省部，亦乞正名。」 遂改中都，其大興府仍舊。 四年，始於中都之東北置今城而遷都焉。 京城右擁太行，左挹滄海，枕居庸，奠朔方。 城方六十里，十一門：正南曰麗正，南之右曰順承，南之左曰文明，北之東曰安貞，北之西曰健德，正東曰崇仁，東之右曰齊化，東之左曰光熙，正西曰和義，西之右曰肅清，西之左曰平則。 海子在皇城之北、萬壽山之陰，舊名積水潭，聚西北諸泉之水，流入都城而匯于此，汪洋如海，都人因名焉。 恣民漁采無禁，擬周之靈沼云。 九年，改大都。 十九年，置留守司。 二十一年，置大都路總管府。 戶一十四萬七千五百九十，口四十萬一千三百五十。 用至元七年抄籍數。 領院二、縣六、州十。 州領十六縣。
Dadu Circuit — in Tang times, Youzhou, Fanyang Commandery. The Liao renamed it Yanjing. The Jin moved its capital here and established Daxing Prefecture. In the tenth year of Emperor Taizu, Yan was captured; the city was first made Yanjing Circuit, administering Daxing Prefecture. In the seventh year of Emperor Taizong, household registers were established. In the first year of the Zhiyuan era, Secretariat officials memorialized: "Kaiping Prefecture, where the imperial court is seated, has been given the additional title Shangdu. Yanjing has been made a separate provincial headquarters — we ask that its proper name also be fixed." The city was thereupon renamed Zhongdu, while Daxing Prefecture kept its former designation. In the fourth year, construction began on the present city northeast of Zhongdu, and the capital was relocated there. The capital embraced the Taihang range on the right and the Bohai Sea on the left, rested against Juyong Pass, and stood firm in the northern marches. The city wall measured sixty li on each side, with eleven gates: due south, Lizheng; south-right, Shuncheng; south-left, Wenming; northeast, Anzhen; northwest, Jiande; due east, Chongren; east-right, Qihua; east-left, Guangxi; due west, Heyi; west-right, Suqing; west-left, Pingze. The lake lay north of the Imperial City, in the shadow of Longevity Hill. Formerly called Jishuitan, it collected the springs of the northwest, whose waters flowed into the capital and pooled here in an expanse vast as the sea — hence the name the city's people gave it. The people were free to fish and forage without restriction, in the manner of the Zhou dynasty's Spirit Pool. In the ninth year, it was renamed Dadu. In the nineteenth year, a capital garrison commission was established. In the twenty-first year, the Dadu Circuit general administration was established. Households: 147,590; persons: 401,350. Figures from the seventh-year Zhiyuan census. It governed two patrol commissions, six counties, and ten subprefectures. The subprefectures together governed sixteen counties.

In the north one hundred nineteen relay stations were established, including Tieligan, Mulian, and Nalian.
