Scope and jurisdiction have changed with history.
3. Qingzhou: Generally speaking, it refers to an area from Bohai Sea to Mount Tai, involving Hebei and Shandong Peninsula, with fertile soil and vast expanse of whiteness. As early as more than 7,000 years ago, people flourished in this land.

It is one of the primitive areas of the Han nationality. Jingzhou is "only smearing mud on the top, Jue Tian on the bottom, Jue Fu up and down". This means that the soil in Jingzhou is roughly similar to that in Yangzhou, but the soil fertility belongs to the middle and lower level, one level higher than that in Yangzhou, which is the eighth level of soil fertility in Kyushu and the land tax belongs to the third level.

Jizhou has a vast territory. According to Ma Rong, "Yu Ping's soil and water make it live in Kyushu. Shun is located in the north of Jizhou, which is divided into states. Yan Qiyuan, Yan Youzhou, Qi Yingzhou. So it is also twelve States.
