Peta lengkap dunia tahun 1602 dari China

OSMANLI

The first map in Chinese to show the Americas, prepared by Matteo Ricci in 1602 at the request of the Wanli Emperor, goes on public display.

Kunyu Wanguo Quantu (Chinese: 坤輿萬國全圖; pinyin: Kūnyú Wànguó Quántú; literally "A Map of the Myriad Countries of the World"), printed in 1602 by Matteo Ricci, is the first European-style world map in Chinese English speaking cartographers refer to it as "the Impossible Black Tulip of cartography", because of its rarity, importance and exoticism,similiar to an elusive variety of tulip historically sought by Dutch breeders.[3]
This map was critical in expanding knowledge of the world in China, and in Japan when it was later exported there.

The map includes pictures and annotations describing different regions of the world. Africa was noted to have the world's highest mountain and longest river. The brief description of North America mentions "humped oxen" or bison, wild horses and a region named "Ka-na-ta" (Canada). The map identifies Florida as the "Land of Flowers". Several Central and South American places are named, including "Wa-ti-ma-la" (Guatemala), "Yu-ho-t'ang" (Yucatan) and "Chih-Li" (Chile).[5]

The map's cartographer, Matteo Ricci (1552-1610), gave a brief description of the discovery of the Americas. "In olden days, nobody had ever known that there were such places as North and South America or Magellanica [using a name that early mapmakers gave to Australia and Antarctica], but a hundred years ago, Europeans came sailing in their ships to parts of the sea coast, and so discovered them

According to John Day, Matteo Ricci prepared eight world maps in all during his mission in China:
(1) an early woodblook print (1584);
(2) a map carved on a stele (1596);
(3) a revised version of the latter (1600);
(4) a larger “edition” of the 1584 map, in six panels, printed in Beijing (1602);
(5) an eight panel version of that piece (1603);
(6) a booklet based on the map of 1600 (issued in 1604);
(7) twelve copies of a new version presented to the Ming emperor (1608);
(8) and a map in two hemispheres (1609). Most of these maps are now lost, only several original copies of (4) and (5) are known to exist.
Drawing of the 1602 map followed a first primitive map by Ricci, named Yudi Shanhai Quantu (舆地山海全图). made in Zhaoqing, in 1584 by the Jesuit priest, Matteo Ricci[ Ricci was one of the first Western scholars to live in China, master Chinese script and the Classical Chinese language. Ricci created smaller versions of the map at the request of the governor of Zhaoqing at the time, Wang Pan, who wanted the document to serve as a resource for explorers and scholars.
Later, Ricci was the first Westerner to enter Peking, bringing atlases of Europe and the West that were unknown to his hosts. The Chinese had maps of the East that were equally unfamiliar to Western scholars. In 1602, at the request of the Wanli Emperor, Ricci collaborated with Mandarin Zhong Wentao, technical translator Li Zhizao and other Chinese scholars in what is now Beijing to create what was his third and largest world map, the Kūnyú Wànguó Quántú (坤輿萬國全圖: "A Map of the Myriad Countries of the World")

In this map, European geographic knowledge, new to the Chinese, was combined with Chinese information to create the first map known to combine Chinese and European cartography. Among other things, this map revealed the existence of America to the Chinese. Ford W. Bell said: "This was a great collaboration between East and West. It really is a very clear example of how trade was a driving force behind the spread of civilization."
Several prints of the map were made in 1602. Only seven original copies of the map are known to exist and only two are in good condition. Known copies are in the Vatican Apostolic Library Collection I and the Vatican Apostolic Library Collection II. One copy of the 1602 print, preserved in the Vatican, was published by d’Elia in the form of a beautifully arranged book (1938). This modern work also contains Italian translations of the colophons on the map, and a catalogue of all toponyms, plus detailed notes regarding their identification.Other copies are at: Japan Kyoto University Collection; collection of Japan Miyagi Prefecture Library; Collection of the Library of the Japanese Cabinet; a private collection in Paris, France and one recently sold in London (formerly in a private collection in Japan).No examples of the map are known to exist in China, where Ricci was revered and buried.
Ferdinand Verbiest would later develop a similar but improved map, the Kunyu Quantu in 1674

Born Zhu Yijun, he was the Longqing Emperor's son. His rule of forty eight years would be the longest in the Ming dynasty and it witnessed the steady decline of the dynasty. Wanli also saw the arrival of the first Jesuit missionary in Beijing, Matteo Ricci
