“Recording Across Borders”in Local Records Nautical Charts-Discussions Centered Around Qing Dynasty Bordering Seas and Islands Chart, Zhenhai County Records

越境不书是古今修志者编修地方志遵循的一个普遍原则,也是地方志区域性特征的重要体现。舆图能够将地理事物和行政区域界限清晰展示出来,方志舆图亦成为地方志辨识疆域的重要方式。但旧方志中的海图经常出现越海而绘的情况,海防需要或是造成这种情况的主要原因,沿袭传抄政区变动前的旧志内容等因素亦可能对此种现象产生影响。

No recordings across borders is a general principle followed by local records compilers in ancient times and nowadays.It is also an important reflection of the regional nature of local records.Maps and charts can clearly showcase geographical items and borders of administrative regions.Local records maps and charts have become an important way to distinguish territories in local records.Yet nautical charts in old local records often have recordings across the sea.Coastal defence needs could be the main cause of this phenomenon.Factors such as following and copying old local records contents before change of administrative regions might also have an influence.
