condition

According to legend, the Yuping flood in Yao was divided into Kyushu, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and Shunshi was also divided into twelve states. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhou was basically a prison area and sometimes an administrative area. However, since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the scope of Zhou has gradually narrowed. There were more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, all of which were administrative regions. The so-called country in the Song and Yuan Dynasties was basically the same as that in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the state was changed to the government, so it has the names of "Yanzhou government" and "Yangzhou government".

county

County is an administrative region, Qin Fen is 36 counties, and then four counties are added to 40 counties. Since then, there have been counties in all previous dynasties, but the area has become smaller, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that counties were abolished. Counties and counties were changed repeatedly in the Tang Dynasty, all of which were administrative districts, and counties and counties were abandoned in the Song Dynasty.

country

The country is the territory of the Han dynasty princes and is also an administrative region. The area of the country is slightly equal to the county, so even the "county country" is called. After the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang was afraid that the Central Committee of the Han Dynasty would be as helpless as the Qin Dynasty, and he died the next year. At the beginning, many governors were enfeoffed, and then the rebellion of the seven kings that Liu Bang did not expect broke out. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the vassal states lost their military power and gradually withdrew from history as an administrative unit.

way

The Tao in the Tang Dynasty was a prison area, which was slightly equivalent to the state in the Han Dynasty. During the Zhenguan period, there were ten roads in China: Guannei Road, Henan Road, Hedong Road, Hebei Road, Shannan Road, Gulong Road, Huainan Road, Jiangnan Road, Jiannan Road and Lingnan Road. During the Kaiyuan period, it was divided into fifteen roads. However, in the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was actually a virtual administrative unit, and the governor-state-county three-level system was implemented most of the time.

road

The roads in the Song Dynasty were initially divided into tax collection and grain transportation areas, and later gradually became administrative divisions and military regions. At first, the whole country was divided into 15 road, and later it was divided into 10 road and 23 road, which are roughly the same as today's provinces and regions, such as Fujian Road, Guangdong Road, Guangxi Road, Hunan Road, Hubei Road, Shaanxi Road and Hebei Road, all of which have the same name as today's provinces and regions.

province

It turned out to be an official name. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhongshu Province was the center, and it was divided into Zhongshu Province on the road (slightly equal to Zhongshu Provincial Office or Zhongshu Provincial Administrative Office), referred to as provinces. Later, the province became the official administrative region name, referred to as the province.

Government seat

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, all the big states are called state capitals, because they all have a governor's office or a governor's office. The Tang Dynasty's office belongs to Tao, and the Song Dynasty's office belongs to Tao. In the Yuan Dynasty, some were subordinate to Taoism, and some were directly under the central government. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the state was changed to the government.

army

The military department is the administrative area of the Song Dynasty, and an army is equal to a state or government, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the road. The Pingding Army in the Song Dynasty is the Pingding Country in the Qing Dynasty, and the Nan 'an Army in the Song Dynasty is the Nan 'an House in the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen that the military and state governments are similar.

county

County is a local grass-roots administrative region. Counties in Qin and Han dynasties belonged to counties (there were also counties below Han dynasty), and counties in later generations belonged to States or governments.
