How to divide northern Shaanxi, southern Shaanxi and Guanzhong areas, including which counties and cities?

Northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong and Southern Shaanxi were divided into three different geographical units by the Yuan government to control the Han people in the Central Plains. Therefore, when they divide administrative divisions, they deliberately divide them according to different geographical locations, and deliberately divide three places with different climate, customs and geography into one.

Northern Shaanxi includes Yan 'an and Yulin, close to Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu and other provinces.

Guanzhong includes Xi, Baoji, Weinan, Xianyang and other cities. Topographically, the Qinling Mountains lie on the edge of Guanzhong Plain, separating the southern part of Guanzhong.

Southern Shaanxi includes Shangluo, Hanzhong and Ankang, which are different from each other and all located in Qinba Mountain area.
