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)\
