	Shanxi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shanxi borders Hebei to the east, Henan to the south, Shaanxi to the west, and Inner Mongolia to the north.
		Shanxi was the location of the powerful state of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period (722 BC - 403 BC), which underwent a three-way split into the states of Han, Zhao and Wei in 403 BC, the traditional date taken as the start of the Warring States Period (403 BC - 221 BC).
		Shanxi is located on a plateau, which is in turn made up of higher ground to the east (Taihang mountains) and the west (Lüliang mountains), and a series of valleys in the center through which the Fen River flows.

	POLITICAL DIVISIONS OF CHINA FACTS AND INFORMATION
		As opposed to other provincial-level administrative divisions (provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions), SARs reserve a much higher level of autonomy, with their own courts of last resort, legal_systems, passports, currencies, customs control, immigration policies, extradition, etc., except diplomatic relations and national defence.
		The Qin_Dynasty was determined not to allow China to fall back into disunity, and therefore designed the first hierarchical administrative divisions in China, based on two levels: ''jùn'' commanderies and ''xiàn'' counties (''xian'' is usually translated as "districts" or "prefectures" in Sinologist literature, but here we will use "county", the contemporary term).
		The abolishment of district_public_offices is an ongoing reform to remove an extra level of administration from between the county and township levels.

	POLITICAL DIVISIONS OF CHINA FACTS AND INFORMATION
		Unlike provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, whose legal basis is provided for in Article 30 of the 1982 Constitution that governs administrative divisions, special administrative regions are provided for in Article 31 in anticipation of the retrocession of Hong Kong and Macau.
		Prefecture-level cities are generally composed of an urban center and surrounding rural areas much larger than the urban core, and thus are not "cities" in the strict sense of the term.
		The ultimate goal is to reduce the different administration levels from five to three, (Provincial, County, Village) reducing the amount of corruption that goes on in between and reducing the number of government workers to reduce budget.
