In ancient times, our country was called Kyushu, which places does Kyushu refer to?

When it comes to China, Huaxia is often used to refer to China, but in fact, there is another word for China, that is, Kyushu, also known as Shenzhou. It is often heard that the land of China is talking about the land where we are. According to ancient records from the pre-Qin period, from the Warring States period, Kyushu became a synonym for ancient China, and during the Jin Dynasty, it became a synonym for the Han people.

The Kyushu region of the Chinese nation refers to Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. In fact, the division of Kyushu is a huge nine-square grid, on the map of our China, the horizontal painting is two lines, and the vertical drawing is two lines, forming a tic-tac-toe, which is exactly divided into nine parts, called Kyushu, in which the Son of Heaven is in the middle, and the eight sides pay tribute.

The name Kyushu was first from the ancient book "Yu Gong", the legend is that in ancient times when Yu ruled the water, the world was divided into Kyushu, and since then Kyushu has become synonymous with ancient China. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are recorded differently in each period and in different ancient books, and the same is true for Kyushu, which is divided into different scopes in different periods. Kyushu during the Yu period were:

Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou. What is recorded in "Erya Shidi" is: Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yinzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, and Yingzhou are Kyushu, not only Kyushu is different, but the division of different periods is also different.

Kyushu was later called the Twelve Prefectures, because Jizhou was divided into the Merge Prefecture, Youzhou, and Yingzhou, and the original Kyushu became the Twelve Prefectures. At first, Kyushu was only a general reference, because the state was a small geographical area, a vast land, and it was not exactly what it referred to, and it was gradually divided into specific areas later. Kyushu was divided into nine large administrative regions, which are said to have occurred during the Warring States period.

There are three main divisions, and the regions are also different, one division is Yuzhou, which belongs to the Central Plains, in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Henan, Shandong and other places. Xuzhou, from the Yellow Sea, Mount Tai, Huai River, but also involved Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places.
