Wanjiang basin was located in HuainanDao and JiangnanxiDao in the Tang Dynasty, including the Xuan, Chi, Shu, Lu, He,Chu six states. As a link to Wanjiang, under the background of the economiccenter moving southward, the spatial distribution and change of the Economic geography was in the continuous development, which play an increasingly important role in the whole process of southeast of Finance in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, it was also an important part of Economic development in the Yangtze River Basin. On the basis of research findings by predecessors.
