The map depicts the Japanese Ryukyu Islands on which, according to the title of the map, the king is a tributary of China. In fact, in 1655 the tributary relations between Ryukyu and Qing were formally approved by the shogunate and terminated only in 1874. The map is fairly detailed with all the islands named and some of them with thorough notes on fauna, flora, inhabitants, administration and sometimes history.
