Analysis:
The history of dividing states is as old as the Chinese nation.
In the Huangdi era of primitive society, "drawing wild states were divided into states", with every 10,000 square miles being one state. During Yao's time, the world was divided into twelve states, and after Dayu controlled the floods, he divided the world into nine states. The names of Kyushu are recorded in detail in "Shang Shu Yu Gong". They are Ji, Gun, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong. The names of Kyushu recorded in other ancient books are slightly different from those in "Yu Gong". The term "twelve states" was first seen in "Shangshu Yaodian", where the names of the states were listed. Therefore, the term "Jiuzhou" has greater influence than "Twelve States", and later Kyushu became another name for China.
In the Han Dynasty, while implementing the parallel system of counties and states, it also adopted the state system. If the power of a feudal state is too strong, it will often form a situation of separatism. In order to strengthen the centralization of power, on the basis of a series of internal reductions of vassals and external expansion of territory, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty divided the country into thirteen prefecture governors in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106 BC), referred to as "Thirteen Divisions" or "Thirteen States". Each governor appointed a governor to manage local affairs on behalf of the central government. From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the state system was continuously used. Although there have been changes in each period, and the division, number and name of the states are different, the basic structure has not changed. The state is the highest level of local administrative agency, with counties, counties, etc. under its jurisdiction. By the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the state system was abolished and the two-level local administrative system of counties and counties was restored. At this point, Chinese history has returned to the ruling method of the early Qin Dynasty after more than 800 years.
