欧洲所藏清代《南河图》研究

A Study of Qing Dynasty Nan He Tu in Europe

描绘江南黄河、运河两河河道及其水利工程的《南河图》是乾嘉道时期最重要的水利图之一。流散到欧洲的几幅彩绘本《南河图》直观地反映了乾嘉道时期江南黄河,尤其是尾闾河段的工程形态与变迁轨迹,反映了这一时期江南河道总督以开挖引河、裁弯取直为主要手段的河道治理方略,在清代地图史、水利史上都具有重要地位。

The Map of Yellow River in Jiangnan Provine （Nan He Tu南河图） was one of the most important water conservancy maps during the Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang period in the Qing Dynasty. It illustrates the Yellow River and the Grand Canal in Jiangnan Province and river works along them. Painted versions of the Nan He Tu found in Europe reflect the river works and changing courses of the Yellow River, especially at the estuary, and river harnessing measures adopted by the Director-general of Rivers in Jiangnan during this period. These paintings are deemed important in the history of Qing Dynasty map-making and water conservancy.
