This set of four pictorial maps are displayed on four silk scrolls, two of which are titled “Map of Aihun” and “Map of Luosha”. The other two scroll maps have no captions, but according to their content, they are “Map of Penghu Islands”and “Map of Inner Mongolia”. These maps depict divisions from the Yellow River Loop to the Liaohe River, and the Inner Mongolia tribal system that identified major nomadic groups and their territorial range.
In the 24th Year of Kangxi Reign (1685) Peng Chun (Deputy governor of the Red Banner Group) was appointed to lead troops against the Russian army in Yaksa; the Qing army attacked and besieged Yaksa again in the 25th Year of Kangxi Reign (1686). The Russian army surrendered and signed“The Treaty of Nerchinsk” of 1689 (the 28th Year of Kangxi Reign), which formally designated boundaries between Russia and China.
For unknown reasons, the maps of four different themes and different areas were compiled into one map set. The map set was drawn around the 24th Year of Kangxi Reign (1685).
This map can be studied with the following maps from the National Palace Museum's collection for comparative research: title: Wula deng chu di fang tu (map no. 021453-54); title: Heilongjiang liu yu tu (map no. 021456)*; title: Kou wai jiu da ren tu (map no. 021577); title: Kou wai wu lu zong tu (map no. 021584-587); title: Nei wai Mongol tu (map no. 020942-61); and title: Taiwan lue tu (map no. 021444-45)**.
