Note that the Da Ming yitong zhi is divided into prefectures, while the Sŭngnam is divided into much smaller counties. Thus any given Sŭngnam entry is unlikely to include all the features listed. Both the Da Ming yitong zhi and the Sŭngnam also list more specialized features for atypical locales, which are not included here. From this list can be grasped at a glance the Sŭngnam’s borrowing of an administrative focus from the Da Ming yitong zhi, while not entirely shedding the literary subject matter of its earlier version influenced by the Fangyu shenglan.
