Suburbs (郊外): Fanqie: 古包 [jiāo]. Sima Fa: 'Within one hundred li of a royal capital is the suburb: fifty li is the near suburb, and one hundred li is the far suburb.' Baihu tong says: 'Why must kings and feudal lords have suburbs? Above, the suburban sacrifice connects with heavenly spirits; below, the suburb receives feudal lords, and the lords' suburbs receive neighboring states.'
