The nine zhou.svg[edit]

This map is pretty but shouldn't be used. It's highly misleading as to even the notional idea of where these provinces were considered to be. Liang, e.g., included the upper Wei and W Han rivers. The map seems to have been arbitrarily composed, whereas there are sources (however inconsistent among themselves) for what the provinces were considered to include. — $Llywelyn II$ 13:36, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
