The so-called "Kyushu" is also a saying that existed before the Warring States Period. Qi Hou Zhong Qi: "? (Tang) is an emperor in a strict sense, which is predestined ... Xianjiuzhou was blocked by Yu Tu. " "Zuo Zhuan Xiang Gong Four Years" biography: "The remains of the vast, painted as Kyushu, drive nine roads."

Second, "Erya" Kyushu: Ji, You, Yan, Ying, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu and Yong.

Third, Zhou Li Kyushu: Ji, You, He, Yan, Qing, Yang, Jing, Yu and Yong.

During the Warring States Period, Zou Yan of Qi read widely. His most famous theories are "the general theory of five virtues" and "the theory of nine continents" The original work has been lost, and only in Historical Records can we find a brief record of his famous theory.

He first listed the famous mountains and rivers in Kyushu, China, different land and waters, foreign bodies and animals that can be verified (that is, Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, You, Yong). Then it is inferred that since Kyushu in China is different, there are also small Kyushu outside China, which are surrounded by small seas and are not connected with each other, so the small Kyushu is different.

In addition to the small Kyushu, there is also a big Kyushu, surrounded by the sea and not connected with each other. Kyushu is different, too.

The world is divided into eighty-one states, and China is just one of them, which is called "Chixian Shenzhou".
