Reorganized from South Zhili of Ming dynasty, it was roughly parallelled to a combination of Jiangsu, Shanghai and Anhui nowadays. In 1661, the east part and the west part were split apart as two separate provinces. They were renamed Jiangsu and Anhui respectively in 1667. Still, the noun referred to then Jiangsu Province generally later.
