Jiuzhou

One city, one volume

缘起About

An online gazetteer

Ancient China was divided into Nine Lands — Jiuzhou. Each land was its mountains and rivers, its customs, the way its people lived. Jiuzhou is an online gazetteer of these lands: one city, one volume, written slowly.

The first volume is Lin’an — beneath Mount Tianmu, the old homeland of Wuyue.
