규장각 소장 「唐畵綃本中國地圖」의 모사와 지명조사

Abstract

The “Danghwachobonjunggukjido”, one of the Kyujanggak collection at Seoul National University, is a large-size Chinese map on silk which depicts landscapes of the Yellow River and the Grand Canal in China. Although it is severely distorted and damaged due to its old age, it shows numerous place names of natural sites and manmade structures of the Qing Dynasty. It also shows administrative and military place names marked in the fortress symbols. It describes details of complex embankments, floodgates, and repairing facilities along the river canals for protection from the Yellow River floods. I identified the place names which were folded and faded, and drew it clearly using a computer. I made a database of place names and tried to match them with current place names by searching modern map.
