South Zhili was a province of China during the Ming dynasty. It was founded in the region located around the "reserve capital" Nanjing known as South Zhili that included parts of what are today the provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Shanghai municipality. During the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing lost its status of the "second capital" and Southern Zhili was reconstituted as a regular province, Jiangnan, while Northern Zhili was renamed Zhili Province.
