It covered areas corresponding broadly to southern Anhui, parts of Jiangsu south of the Yangtze, and present-day Shanghai, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as parts of Hubei and Henan.

In the late Eastern Han, conflict divided control of the Huainan and Jiangdong areas, and the administrative seat moved over time. After Wei and Wu were established, the former territory was divided between them.
