1. Jiuzhou is a geographical division of the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties recorded in ancient Chinese texts, which later became the pronoun of China. The ancient Chinese divided the country into nine regions, known as the "nine states". According to the Shangshu-Yugong, the nine states were: Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou. The Yugong was written by scholars in the late Warring States period.

2. Four Seas, here referring to all parts of the country

For example.

The general is the descendant of the emperor's family, and his faith and righteousness are known in the four seas. --Three Kingdoms Zhi-Geliang's Biography

The clouds float in the four seas at morning, and return to the old mountains at sunset. --The Three Kingdoms, Wei -- Ying Qian's "Farewell Poem"

In the chaos of the great eunuchs, how many people are there in the four seas who are able to fulfill their aspirations in the red gentry?

Spring breeze sends warmth, policies return to the heart

Family and business prosperity, the country is prosperous and the people are at peace

The rivers and mountains are like paintings, the years are like a song

The people boast of the grand event, the country shows its grandeur

Five goats presenting the auspiciousness, the eight steeds presenting the good fortune

Snow melting the wax, the red plums giving poems

Crackers announcing good news, the pillar couplets welcoming the spring

Burnt firecrackers to bid farewell to the old, the peach symbol to welcome the new

Burnt firecrackers to bid farewell to the old. Peach symbols to welcome the new

The poplar horse, sandbank mooring

Spring breeze combing willow, when the rain moist seedling

Spring light ninety, the weather million

Spring back to the willow eyes, red peach cheeks

Spring back to the willow leaves, the endowment of the plum blossom
