Administrative Geography of Yizhou, Lianzhou, and Ningzhou in ~280 AD (Book of Jin)

“Commandary” doesn’t even sound like a word anymore...

益州

YIZHOU

案《禹貢》及舜十二牧俱爲梁州之域，周合梁於雍，則又爲雍州之地。《春秋元命包》云：「參伐流爲益州，益之爲言阨也。」言其所在之地險阨也，亦曰疆壤益大，故以名焉。始秦惠王滅蜀，置郡，以張若爲蜀守。及始皇置三十六郡，蜀郡之名不改。漢初有漢中、巴、蜀。高祖六年，分蜀置廣漢，凡爲四郡。武帝開西南夷，更置犍爲、牂柯、越巂、益州四郡，凡八郡，遂置益州統焉，益州蓋始此也。及後漢，明帝以新附置永昌郡，安帝又以諸道置蜀、廣漢、犍爲三郡屬國都尉，及靈帝又以汶江、蠶陵、廣柔三縣立汶山郡。獻帝初平元年，劉璋分巴郡立永寧郡。建安六年，改永寧爲巴東，以巴郡爲巴西，又立涪陵郡。二十一年，劉備分巴郡立固陵郡。蜀章武元年又改固陵爲巴東郡，巴西郡爲巴郡，又分廣漢立梓潼郡，分犍爲立江陽郡，以蜀郡屬國爲漢嘉郡，以犍爲屬國爲朱提郡。劉禪建興二年，改益州郡爲建寧郡，廣漢屬國爲陰平郡，分建寧永昌立雲南郡，分建寧牂柯立興古郡，分廣漢立東廣漢郡。魏景元中，蜀平，省東廣漢郡。及武帝泰始二年，分益州置梁州，以漢中屬焉。七年，又分益州置寧州。益州統郡八，縣四十四，戶十四萬九千三百。

In distant antiquity, the area that would later be known as Yizhou was included within the territory of Lianzhou, as defined by both the description of the realm in the Tribute of Yu and in the territories that the ancient Emperor Shun assigned to his Twelve Governors. During the Zhou dynasty, since Lianzhou was combined with Yongzhou, the future Yizhou region was also included in Yongzhou.

Regarding the name Yizhou, the text 春秋元命包 states, "The Can and Fa stars wander through Yizhou, so named for its narrowness." That is to say, it was named because of the land's rough and narrow terrain. Or it is also said that it is called Yi (益 "more") because of its very expansive land and soil.

When King Huiwen of Qin conquered the state of Shu (in 316 BC), he organized the entire former state into Shu commandary, with Zhang Ruo as its Administrator. When the First Emperor of Qin organized the whole realm into thirty-six commandaries (in 221 BC), Shu commandary's name was left unchanged.

At the beginning of the Han dynasty (~206 BC), the region was the three commandaries of Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han's (Liu Bang's) reign (201 BC), he split off part of Shu commandary to form Guanghan commandary, thus there were four commandaries in total. After Emperor Wu expanded into the southwest at the expense of the local tribes (in 135 BC), he organized the new territory into the four additional commandaries of Jianwei, Zangke, Yuegui, and Yizhou, making eight in total. He also organized these eight commandaries into the single province of Yizhou; this must have been the first appearance of Yizhou.

During Later Han, Emperor Ming organized newly submissive territory into Yongchang commandary (in 58 AD), Emperor An established Commandants of Vassal States attached to the commandaries of Shu, Guanghan, and Jianwei, and Emperor Ling organized the three counties of Wenjiang, Canling, and Guangrou into a new Wenshan commandary. In Emperor Xian's first year of Chuping [should be Xingping, 194], Liu Zhang split off part of Ba commandary and formed Yongning commandary. In his sixth year of Jian'an (201), Yongning commandary was renamed to Ba commandary while the original commandary was renamed to Baxi; Fuling commandary was also established. In the twenty-first year of Jian'an (216), Liu Bei split off part of Ba commandary to form Guling commandary.

In Shu-Han's first year of Zhangwu (221), Guling commandary was renamed to Badong commandary, while Baxi's name was restored to Ba commandary. They also split off part of Guanghan commandary to form Zitong commandary, split off part of Jianwei commandary to form Jiangyang commandary, reorganized the Vassal State attached to Shu commandary as Hanjia commandary, and reorganized the Vassal State attached to Jianwei commandary as Zhuti commandary. In Liu Shan's second year of Jianxing (224), he renamed Yizhou commandary to Jianning commandary, reorganized the Vassal State attached to Guanghan commandary as Yinping commandary, split off part of Jianning and Yongchang commandaries to form Yunnan commandary, split off parts of Jianning and Zangke commandaries to form Xinggu commandary, and split off part of Guanghan commandary to form Eastern Guanghan commandary. During Cao-Wei's Jingyuan reign era (263-264), they conquered Shu-Han, and they abolished Eastern Guanghan commandary.

In Emperor Wu of Jin's second year of Taishi (266), he split off [the northern] part of Yizhou to form the new province of Lianzhou, with Hanzhong commandary as part of it. In the seventh year of Taishi (271), he also split off [the southern] part of Yizhou to form the new province of Ningzhou.

What follows is the geography of Yizhou as it existed around the first year of Taikang (280). It administered eight commandaries and forty-four counties, and had a population of 149,300 households.

惠帝之後，李特僭號於蜀，稱漢，益州郡縣皆沒于特。李雄又分漢嘉、蜀二郡立沈黎、漢原二郡。是時益州郡縣雖沒李氏，江左並遙置之。桓溫滅蜀，其地復爲晉有，省漢原、沈黎而立南陰平、晉原、寧蜀、始寧四郡焉。咸安二年，益州復沒於苻氏。太元八年，復爲晉有。隆安二年，又立晉熙、遂寧、晉寧三郡云。

After the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, Li Te declared himself King in Shu and called his state Han (in 303), and Yizhou and its counties and commandaries were lost to Jin. During his reign, Li Xiong split off parts of Hanjia and Shu commandaries to form the new commandaries of Chenli and Hanyuan. And even though Jin no longer actually controlled Yizhou, they still appointed officials for Yizhou and its counties and commandaries in absentia from their new base in the Southland. After Huan Wen conquered Shu (in 347) and Jin recovered the province, Chenli and Hanyuan commandaries were abolished, while four new commandaries were established: Southern Yinping, Jinyuan, Ningshu, and Shining. In the second year of Xian'an (373), Yizhou was once again lost to Jin, this time coming under the control of the Fu clan of Former Qin. But in the eighth year of Taiyuan (383), Jin recovered the province again. In the second year of Long'an (398), Jin also established three new commandaries: Jinxi, Suining, and Jinning.

梁州

LIANZHOU

[This should be spelled Liangzhou, but I am distinguishing it from the northwestern province 涼州 Liangzhou.]

案《禹貢》華陽黑水之地，舜置十二牧，則其一也。梁者，言西方金剛之氣強梁，故因名焉。《周禮》職方氏以梁并雍。漢不立州名，以其地爲益州。及獻帝初平六年，以臨江縣屬永寧郡。建安六年，劉璋改永寧爲巴東郡，分巴郡墊江置巴西郡。劉備據蜀，又分廣漢之葭萌、涪城、梓潼、白水四縣，改葭萌曰漢壽，又立漢德縣，以爲梓潼郡；割巴郡之宕渠、宣漢、漢昌三縣置宕渠郡，尋省，以縣並屬巴西郡。泰始三年，分益州，立梁州於漢中，改漢壽爲晉壽，又分廣漢置新都郡。梁州統郡八，縣四十四，戶七萬六千三百。

In distant antiquity, the Tribute of Yu in the Book of Documents describes Lianzhou as being the region "south of Mount Hua and along the Black River". And when the ancient Emperor Shun appointed his Twelve Governors, one of them was for Lianzhou.

Regarding the name Lianzhou, it was said that the minerals of the west had a strong and 梁 "firm" spirit, thus the name.

According to the Rites of Zhou, the Lianzhou region was governed by the officials of Yongzhou.

The Han dynasty never organized this region into its own province of Lianzhou; it remained part of Yizhou privince. In Emperor Xian's sixth year of Chuping [should be the first year, 190], Linjiang county was placed under Yongning commandary. In the sixth year of Jian'an (201), Liu Zhang renamed Yongning commandary to Badong commandary and split off parts of Ba and Dianjiang commandaries to form Baxi commandary. After Liu Bei occupied the Shu region (in 215), he split off the counties of Jiameng, Fucheng, Zitong, and Baishui from Guanghan commandary, formed a new Hande county, and organized all of them into the new Zitong commandary; he also renamed Jiameng to Hanshou county. He also split off the counties of Dangqu, Xuanhan, and Hanchang from Shu commandary and organized them into the new Dangqu commandary, and although he soon abolished this commandary, these counties were now placed under Baxi commandary.

In Jin's third year of Taishi (267), they split off [the northern] part of Yizhou to form the new province of Lianzhou at Hanzhong. They named Hanshou to Jinshou, and they split off part of Guanghan commandary to form Xindu commandary.

What follows is the geography of Lianzhou as it existed around the first year of Taikang (280). It administered eight commandaries and forty-four counties, and had a population of 76,300 households.

漢中郡〈秦置。統縣八，戶一萬五千。〉

(The Qin dynasty established this commandary. At this time, it administered eight counties and had a population of 15,000 households.)

太康六年九月，罷新都郡并廣漢郡。惠帝復分巴西置宕渠郡，統宕渠、漢昌、宣漢三縣，并以新城、魏興、上庸合四郡以屬梁州。尋而梁州郡縣沒于李特，永嘉中又分屬楊茂搜，其晉人流寓於梁益者，仍於二州立南北二陰平郡。及桓溫平蜀之後，以巴漢流人立晉昌郡，領長樂、安晉、延壽、安樂、宣漢、寧都、新興、吉陽、東關、永安十縣；又置益昌、晉興二縣，屬巴西郡；於德陽界東南置遂寧郡；又於晉壽置劍閣縣，屬梁州。後孝武分梓潼北界立晉壽郡，統晉壽、白水、邵歡、興安四縣；梓潼郡徙居梓潼，罷劍閣縣；又別置南漢中郡，分巴西、梓潼爲金山郡。及安帝時，又立新巴、汶陽二郡，又有北新巴、華陽、南陰平、北陰平四郡，其後又立巴渠、懷安、宋熙、白水、上洛、北上洛、南宕渠、懷漢、新興、安康等十郡。

In the sixth year of Taikang (285), the ninth month, Jin abolished Xindu commandary and combined it into Guanghan commandary. Emperor Hui of Jin later split off the counties of Dangqu, Hanchang, and Xuanhan from Baxi commandary to form Dangqu commandary, and he merged that and the commandaries of Xincheng, Weixing, and Shangyong into Lianzhou. Lianzhou and its counties and commandaries were soon lost to Li Te as well (in ~303). During the Yongjia reign era (307-312), [the Chouchi ruler] Yang Maosou also controlled part of Lianzhou as well. Since many refugees of Jin people (ethnic Han) from Lianzhou and Yizhou came to stay in his domain, Yang Maosou established surrogate versions of both provinces at Southern and Northern Yinping commandaries. After Huan Wen conquered the Shu region (in 347), refugees from the Ba and Han regions were organized into the new Jinchang commandary, which administered the ten counties of Zhangle, Anjin, Yanshou, Anle, Xuanhan, Ningdu, Xinxing, Jiyang, Dongguan, and Yong'an. He also established the counties of Yichang and Jinxing, as part of Baxi commandary. The southeastern part of Deyang commandary was organized into the new Suining commandary. He also established a Jiange county in Jinshou commandary, which was placed under Lianzhou. Later, Emperor Xiaowu split off the northern part of Zitong commandary to form Jinshou commandary, which administered the four counties of Jinshou, Baishui, Shaohuan, and Xing'an. Zitong commandary was shifted to Zitong county, and Jiange county was abolished. He also split off and formed Southern Hanzhong commandary, and he split off parts of Baxi and Zitong commandaries to form Jinshan commandary. During Emperor An's reign, he established the commandaries of Xinba and Wenyang. There were also the four commandaries of Northern Xinba, Huayang, Southern Yinping, and Northern Yinping. And later, ten commandaries were established: Baqu, Huai'an, Songxi, Baishui, Shangluo, Northern Shangluo, Southern Dangqu, Huaihan, Xinxing, and Ankang.

寧州

NINGZHOU

於漢魏爲益州之域。泰始七年，武帝以益州地廣，分益州之建寧、興古、雲南、交州之永昌，合四郡爲寧州，統縣四十五，戶八萬三千。

All during the Han and Cao-Wei dynasties, this region was part of the province of Yizhou. In Jin's seventh year of Taishi (271), since Emperor Wu felt that Yizhou was too large, he split off the commandaries of Jianning, Xinggu, Yunnan from Yizhou and Yongchang commandary from Jiaozhou and organized them into the new province of Ningzhou.

What follows is the geography of Ningzhou as it existed around the first year of Taikang (280). It administered four commandaries and forty-five counties, and had a population of 83,000 households.

雲南郡〈蜀置。統縣九，戶九千二百。〉

Yunnan Commandary

(Shu-Han established this commandary. At this time, it administered nine counties and had a population of 9,200 households.)

太康三年，武帝又廢寧州入益州，立南夷校尉以護之。太安二年，惠帝復置寧州，又分建寧以西七縣別立爲益州郡。永嘉二年，改益州郡曰晉寧，分牂柯立平夷、夜郎二郡。然是時其地再爲李特所有。其後李壽分寧州興古、永昌、雲南、朱提、越巂、河陽六郡爲漢州。咸康四年，分牂柯、夜郎、朱提、越巂四郡置安州。八年，又罷并寧州，以越巂還屬益州，省永昌郡焉。

In the third year of Taikang (282), Emperor Wu abolished Ningzhou again; the region became part of Yizhou, while being directly administed by the office of Colonel of Southern Yi Tribes. In the second year of Tai'an (304), Emperor Hui reestablished Ningzhou, and he split off the seven western counties of Jianning commandary to form Yizhou commandary. In the second year of Yongjia (308), Yizhou commandary was renamed to Jinning, and parts of Zangke commandary were split off to form Pingyi and Yelang commandaries. However, this province soon fell under the control of Li Te [should be Li Xiong] as well. Later, Li Shou split off the commandaries of Xinggu, Yongchang, Yunnan, Zhuti, Yuegui, and Heyang to form the new province of Hanzhou. In the fourth year of Xiankang (338), he also split off the commandaries of Zangke, Yelang, Zhuti, and Yuegui to form the new province of Anzhou. In the eighth year of Xiankang (342), he folded that back into Ningzhou, returned Yuegui commandary to Yizhou, and abolished Yongchang commandary. [Ningzhou was later reclaimed by Jin.]
