In the western ridge of the Chu King, the Chu royal city was the center, surrounded by the large and small prefectures dotted around it, like the stars surrounding the moon. Closest to the Chu royal city was the superior prefectures, followed by the intermediate prefectures, while the inferior prefectures were furthest away. Within the western ridge of the Chu King, the inferior prefectures numbered the most at twenty-six, followed by the intermediate prefectures at twelve, while there were only five superior prefectures.
As an inferior prefecture, Yunfeng prefecture was located at the borders of the western ridge of the Chu King. From Yunfeng prefecture to the Chu royal city, one had to pass through an intermediate prefecture and a superior prefecture... the intermediate prefecture was none other than Guangling prefecture.
