"This catalog contains fifty-five maps held in the Special Collections Department of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library. The collection 'vividly reflects Europe’s lasting fascination and cross-cultural exchange with China over many centuries.' Many early maps of China were based on Jesuit models, for example, plate 28 by Joan Blaeu after Martini and plate 29 by Nicolas Sanson after Ricci.
Cartography, mathematics, and astronomy were important methods of exchange between the Jesuits and the Chinese literati during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In collaboration with Chinese mapmakers, the Jesuits produced maps in which China was represented in greater and greater detail to European audiences. Likewise, Europe, the Western coast of Africa, and the Americas were introduced to Chinese audiences during this era."--Display placard text.

This map is based upon the surveys made by the Jesuit Fathers Felix da Rocha 傅作霖 and Joseph d’Espinha 高慎思 between 1756 and 1759. The cartography was completed by Fr. Michel Benoist 蔣友仁 in Beijing. Benoist and his Chinese co-workers prepared the wood-cut edition in 1769, and under their guidance it was engraved on copper plates (銅版) in 1775. Since then, these plates and the original maps have been kept in the Palace unseen by the public until 1924, when the Museum staff discovered a complete set of the original copper plates.
The map was commissioned by the Qianlong emperor in order to utilize Jesuit expertise in cartography in creating an accurate map of the empire, especially the restive western regions of Xinjiang and Qinghai, as well as the Yunnan-Guizhou region and the Tibetan plateau. Thus the map covers almost the entire Asian continent, and consists of 103 sheets using the traditional Chinese rectangular-grid mapping system modified to suit longitude and latitude.
103 sheets, arranged in 13 horizontal strips. Also uses oblique grids and is divided into 13 horizontal strips, each of five degrees of latitude, with 7.8 cm between latitude lines. Original version: Qing Qianlong Neifu yutu. China : engraved by Michel Benoist on copper plates in 1773 and printed in 1775. Based on earlier map "Huangyu quanlan tu."

The Selden map of China :  a new understanding of the Ming dynasty / Hongping Annie Nie.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 66-69) and index.

A discovery in the library -- A cartographic work of art -- The history of the Selden map -- Ming dynasty maritime trade -- A new understanding of the Ming dynasty.

Dating from the seventeenth century at the height of the Ming Dynasty, the Selden Map of China reveals a country very different from popular conceptions of the time, looking not inward to the Asian landmass but outward to the sea. Discovered in the stacks of the Bodleian Library, this beautifully decorative map of China is in fact a seafaring chart showing Ming Dynasty trade routes. It is the earliest surviving example of Chinese merchant cartography and is evidence that Ming China was outward-looking, capitalistic and vibrant. Exploring the commercial aims of the Ming Dynasty, the port city of Quanzhou and its connections with the voyages of the early traveller Zheng He, this book describes the historical background of the era in which the map was used. It also includes an analysis of the skills and techniques involved in Chinese map-making and the significance of the compass bearings, scale and ratios found on the map, all of which combine to represent a breakthrough in cartographic techniques. The enthralling story revealed by this extraordinary artefact is central to an understanding of the long history of China's relationship with the sea and with the wider world.
