九服 [jiǔ fú] [jiu fu]—
1. In ancient times, the regions outside the royal domain (王畿 [wang ji]) were divided into zones every 500 li, and categorized into nine grades based on their distance. These were the Houfu (侯服 [hou fu]), Dianfu (甸服 [dian fu]), Nanfu (男服 [nan fu]), Caifu (采服 [cai fu]), Weifu (衛服 [wei fu]), Manfu (蠻服 [man fu]), Yifu (夷服 [yi fu]), Zhenfu (鎮服 [zhen fu]), and Fanfu (藩服 [fan fu]), collectively known as the "Jiufu". See "Rites of Zhou: Summer Officials: Director of the Four Quarters" (《周禮 [zhou li]．夏官 [xia guan]．職方氏 [zhi fang shi]》).
2. Generally refers to all parts of the country. From "Selections of Literature: Liu Kun: Memorial Urging Accession" (《文選 [wen xuan]．劉琨 [liu kun]．勸進表 [quan jin biao]》): "Since the royal domain (京畿 [jing ji]) was lost, the nine zones disintegrated, the world was in turmoil, and there was nowhere to find solace."
