荆南 / Southern Jingzhou (late Han)
荆南 / Southern Jingzhou (late Han) enters the wiki through Hanji 1027 as the southern commandery zone inside 荆州. This page is disambiguated from 荆南, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms regime.
The source defines the region through 长沙郡, 零陵郡, and 桂阳郡, all geographically distant from 刘表’s 襄阳 center. That distance, combined with local gentry networks and economic-cultural difference, lets 张献 and 桓阶 turn southern discontent into an external alignment with 曹操.
