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:
“... nothing is more human than substituting the quantity of words and actions for their character. But using imprecise words is very similar to using lots of words, for the more imprecise a word is, the greater the area it covers.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,—if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
