The ancient Chinese made the world's first maps and in mapping theory and technique, they once led the world. In order to inherit and carry forward Chinese culture, summarize China's ancient mapping techniques and spread Chinese mapping knowledge around the world, the State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping and the State Bureau for Museums and Archaeological Data organized a study of Chinese maps and mapping history. China: In Ancient and Modern maps is one of the results of this research programme. The map is a second language of geography. Map making is not only an expression of mankind's geographical knowledge but also a necessary means of broadening geographical visions as well as for utilizing and transforming nature. We cannot but feel proud of the glorious cartographic achievements made by our ancestors. In this sense, China: In Ancient and Modern maps has great significance. The maps contained here are carefully selected from the vast repository of maps in China and accompanied by scientific analyses garnered with painstaking efforts by the authors from voluminous historical records and documents. The book presents convincing evidence about China's important position in the history of world surveying and mapping.
