The vernacular version of Shuo Wen Jie Zi: Zhou, the island that can live in the middle of the river is called Zhou, which looks like a river around the island and takes the meaning of two "rivers". Yao suffered a big flood in ancient times. At that time, people could only live in the highlands in the water. Some people call these highlands "Kyushu". There is a poem in the Book of Songs: "In Hezhou." One view is that "state" is "domain", and people in each state occupy their own territory and form different states.
