地图主权价值论

Axiology of Map Sovereignty

中国制图术的大部分历史是和中国的政治文化联系在一起的。这里所说的政治文化,指的是统治者及遴选出来各司其职以辅佐其统治者的学者型官僚阶级的机构和实践活动。清初制图一般都是在清廷的主持下进行的,因此,地图更多体现的是统治集团的意志和利益。中国人对版图的理解是“国家有疆宇,谓之版图,版言乎其有民,图言乎其有地”。今天地图的形式可谓五花八门,功能也是多种多样,其中社会功能扮演的角色不容忽视。但从古代中国地图的制作上看,其行政功能,即地图的政治属性占据着压倒一切的优势地位。

The history of Chinese cartography is closely related to the political culture in China.The political culture is referred to as the organization and its activities of the ruler and its scholar bureaucrat,which was selected to assist the rule of the governor.The cartography in early Ching dynasty was mainly controlled by the Manchu court,therefore,Maps at that time reflected mostly the wills and benefits of the governors.Today there are kinds of maps with different functions which are becoming more and more important.
