Map Introduction

Sizhou (Si Province)

Sizhou was first established during the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, with its administrative seat located in Henan (east of present-day Luoyang). Its jurisdiction covered parts of modern central Shaanxi, southwestern Shanxi, and western Henan. After the Eastern Jin court moved south, Sizhou was successively established in exile at Hefei, Xingyang, Xiangyang, and other locations. During the Southern Qi Dynasty, the seat of Sizhou was moved to Pingyang (modern Xinyang, Henan), and an administrative structure for Sizhou was established in the Huainan region.

Yongzhou (Yong Province)

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yongzhou existed as an exile province, with its administrative seat in Xiangyang. The Southern Qi Dynasty continued this arrangement, though detailed records of its specific evolution are sparse. It is only mentioned in relevant historical maps as one of the administrative divisions of the Southern Qi.

Ningman Fu (Office for Pacifying the Southern Barbarians)

The Ningman Fu was a special institution established by the Southern Qi Dynasty to govern the southern ethnic minorities. It functioned as a local military administration unit, with responsibilities including conscription, pacification of the indigenous peoples, and border defense. However, its specific evolution is not recorded in detail in the official histories.

It should be noted that the above information is primarily derived from historical map records, and specific details may vary due to gaps in the historical sources.
