Abstract Jianghan Plain is the crucial district where unearths the bamboo slips of the Warring States， and the Qin and Han dynasties， as well as the crucial center recorded in the content of the bamboo slips. The relevant toponymy exhibits the affluent and divers landscape system of the Jianghan Plain. The area of Jianghan Plain is formed by the peripheral of the hills and lowlands. The basic geographical features of the geographical alternative distribution of the Cloud and its plain and lakes are shaped by the Yangtze River and Han water， which also form the intensive transportation network by the water roads and land roads. Cities and scattered settlements are widely distributed， forming three large settlement groups and a core landscape band. Thus it can be seen that the settlements and landscapes of the Jianghan area are the plain and highlands(Tai)， the highlands closing to the river(Jiu， Shi )， the lowlands closing to the river(Pu)， and some dams(Di，Peng)， including some settlements in the water(zhou，zhu)， which present obvious regionalism， terraces and layers. Some traffic sites， such as the post and ferry， and some military posts， taking the castle and pass as an example， diversify the sceneries. Reestablishing the Jianghan program could benefit the reference of the study of the “history at site on the earth environment” as well as of other related researches.
