In high antiquity, regions were divided by high mountains and great rivers into nine provinces: Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Jing, Yang, Yu, Liang, Yong—the nine provinces of Yao's time. Shun divided Ji Province into You and Bing; divided Qing Province into Ying, making twelve provinces. Through dynasties there were changes. An ancient 州 was like a modern province. In Ming and Qing, within a province were dozens of regions; larger ones were 州, smaller ones were 縣. At the founding of the Republic, all were changed to 縣. | Five 黨 make one 州. A 州 has 2,500 households. See (Rites of Zhou). Such as calling one's hometown 州里.
