Ming and Qing Dynasties in the Geographical History of Taiwan Province Province

Northern Taiwan Province Province in Kangxi's Taiwan Map

The first map that marked Taiwan Province Province as a geographical finger map of past dynasties was the General Map of Ancient and Modern Huayi Region in Song Dynasty. This unmeasured map has turned Taiwan Province Province into a fugitive, and its area is the same as that of Japan and Guo Chang (Kyushu and Shikoku, Japan). In addition, the map 1274 lists Taiwan Province Province on the other side of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang border. 146 1 unified map of Daming, the location or shape of the map of Taiwan Province province in China is finally closer to reality, the geographical map of 150 1 unified map of Gankun coastal defense of 1605, and the coastal defense map of 1626. The main reason for this phenomenon is that most of these maps are China landscape paintings, and there is no more scientific mapping method of latitude and longitude triangulation. 1708 Panorama of Emperor Kangxi of Kangxi Dynasty is the first map work in China through astronomical observation and astrological triangulation. The topography of Taiwan Province Province on this map is also close to the actual situation.

From17th century to the beginning of 20th century, the famous maps of Taiwan Province listed by China include: the sketch of Taiwan Province province, the maps of three counties in Taiwan Province, the map of Taiwan Province, the map of coastal areas, the map of Taiwan government, the map of unification of the Qing Dynasty in ten thousand, the map of unification of Taiwan Province province in the Qing Dynasty and the map of unification of the Emperor and Qing Dynasty. Among them, most of the maps before the Qianlong dynasty were landscape paintings, and then the scientific map drawing method of the western world was adopted.

Taiwan Province Province, which developed from prehistoric times to historical periods because of Han immigrants, drew a map of Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty, which is more valuable than other parts of China. For example, in 1680, the official map of Taiwan Province Province was drawn by the Qing Dynasty. The place names in the map were all written in Chinese, but after the design was completed, a small note was posted in full text, which read "Fake Inheritance of Tianfu". In addition, the Map of Kangxi Taiwan Province Province copied from the Panoramic Map of Emperor Kangxi is still a treasure of Taiwan Province Provincial Museum.
