This is a manuscript added information by D'Anville made from a truncated engraving map from the book 'Description géographique, historique, chronologique, politique et physique de l'empire de la Chine et de la Tartarie chinoise' by he Jesuit Jean-Baptiste Du Halde (1674-1743 ), confessor to the king Louis XIV (1638-1715). The sources of the book by Du Halde were prepared by Jesuit missionaries commissioned by Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), who between 1708 and 1716 surveyed China. With these surveys it was printed in 1719 the woodblock Chinese Atlas '康熙皇輿全覽圖' -a copperplate edition was requested by the Emperor to Matteo Ripa (1682-1746) and the copper plates exist to this day. The original map is much larger and encompasses all of China but this one was cut on the top part to include only the South of China with Taiwan and Hainan. The legend 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.
