Sili Province

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 4 min
Provinces of the Eastern Han dynasty in 189 CE.

Sili Province or Silizhou (司隸州), in the 5th century reconstituted as Si Province or Sizhou (司州),[1] also known as the capital province or the imperial province,[2] was a province of ancient China. It encompassed the two Han dynasty capitals of Chang'an[3] and Luoyang,[2] and was bordered in the west by Liang Province.[3]

Sili Province was governed by Director of Retainers (司隸 Sī Lì).[4] The province consisted of the commanderies of Henan (around Luoyang), Hedong, Henei, Hongnong, Jingzhao, Youfufeng and Zuopingyi (around Chang'an).[4]

In the early 5th century, the former Sili Province was reconstituted as Si Province or Sizhou by Liu Yu, the future founder of the Liu Song dynasty.[1]
