A map of China created by Western missionaries including Régis, who were ordered by the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi Emperor, using triangulation points to survey the entire country. Surveying began in 1708 and was completed in 1717. No map bearing the name "Imperial Land Map" has been confirmed to exist. "Mankan Hebi Qing Neifu Itto Yochi Hizu" published by Jin Liang in 1927 is an atlas based on 41 copperplate maps that were in the Forbidden City in Shenyang, but each of these maps is thought to have been a partial map of "Imperial Land Map," and it is believed that the "Complete Map" was made by pasting together these partial maps. It is about 5.28 meters wide and 3.2 meters long. The National Library of Paris also has 13 partial maps printed from the same copperplate. The manuscript of this map is said to have been sent to Paris, but has never been found. All the maps of China that we have had access to until recently are based on the work of these missionaries.

中国、清(しん)の聖祖康煕帝(こうきてい)の命を受けたレジスら西洋宣教師が、三角点を使用して全国を測量したうえで作製した中国全図。測地が開始されたのは1708年で、1717年に完成した。『皇輿全覧図』という名を冠した地図の現存は確認されていない。1927年に金梁(きんりょう)が出版した『満漢合璧清内府一統輿地秘図(まんかんがっぺきしんないふいっとうよちひず)』は、瀋陽(しんよう)の故宮にあった41枚の銅版地図をもとにしたアトラスであるが、この各地図が実は『皇輿全覧図』の部分図であったと考えられ、「全覧図」というのはこれらの部分図を張り合わせたものであったと判断される。横5.28メートル、縦3.2メートルほどの大きさである。パリ国立図書館にも、同一の銅版から印刷された部分図13枚が所蔵されている。この地図の原稿本はパリに送られたというが、行方不明である。最近までわれわれが利用してきた中国地図は、すべてこの宣教師たちの業績に基づいたものである。 [矢澤利彦] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
