Area
The Daifang commandery was located around Hwanghae and capital was put in the Daifang prefecture. However, the controversy over its location is not resolved yet. Historians believe that it was on the Han River, while archaeologists insist that a site of a city in Hwanghae province is the capital. According to a Chinese official chronicle, the Book of Jin (晉書), it had the following seven prefectures (縣):
- Daifang Prefecture (帶方)
- Liekou Prefecture (列口)
- Nanxin Prefecture (南新)
- Changcen Prefecture (長岑)
- Tixi Prefecture (提奚)
- Hanzi Prefecture (含資)
- Haiming Prefecture (海冥)\

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
“The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
—Dorothy Corkville Briggs (20th century)
