Han Dynasty province (
zhou) that included southern Hebei. The name Hebei means "north of
the (Yellow) River".Zhili (
Traditional Chinese: 直隸;
Simplified Chinese: 直隶;
Hanyu Pinyin: Zhílì;
Wade-Giles: Chih-li), meaning "Directly Ruled (by the Imperial Court)", was the name of Hebei before

Beijing and
Tianjin municipalities (which also border each other). It borders
Liaoning to the northeast,
Inner Mongolia to the north,
Shanxi to the west,
Henan to the south, and
Shandong to the southeast.
Bohai Bay of the
Yellow Sea is to the east. A small part of Hebei, an
exclave disjointed from the rest of the province, is wedged between the municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin.
