The sources of the map were Jesuit missionaries commissioned by Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), who between 1708 and 1716 surveyed China. With these surveys it was printed in 1719 a woodblock Chinese Atlas '康熙皇輿全覽圖'. A copperplate edition was later requested by the Emperor to Matteo Ripa (1682-1746) and the copper plates exist to this day. The map includes China with Taiwan and Hainan. The explanation on the left bottom corner gives some information necessary for the understanding of the chart. Most information is about the Chinese and Portuguese language references on the map. This particular map has some handwritten notes and numbers that once must have connected to a legend.
