中国台北故宫博物院藏《浙江宁波府属地理舆图》绘制时间考

Study on the Drawing Time of the Map of Ningbo Prefecture Collected in the China Taipei's Palace Museum

中国台北故宫博物院典藏之《浙江宁波府属地理舆图》,描绘了清初宁波府辖地之自然及人文景观,图面见贴红签82纸,注文达7千余字。该图绘图时间约在清顺治三年至十八年(1646-1661)间,图绘目的可能在于宁波府主事者向清廷汇报与鲁王等抗清势力的实战情况,以及在宁波府沿海加派兵力防守的建议。相较于其他以“宁波府”为名的地图,此图尺幅巨大、绘风突出、信息含量丰富,既为明清时期地图绘制转型历史提供了相当重要的具体实证,也给后人提供了认识史书之外历史的新材料。

The map of Ningbo Prefecture(《浙江宁波府属地理舆图》)collected in the China Taipei's Palace Museum depicts the natural and cultural landscape in Ningbo Prefecture of the early period of the Qing Dynasty.There are 82 red labels on this map with more than 7,000 characters written on it.Judging from the content of the labels and the cultural landscape on the map,the drawing time was between 1646 and 1661.The drawing purpose might be that the person in charge of Ningbo prefecture reported to the Qing court in Beijing about the actual combat situation with the King of Lu and other anti-Qing forces,and proposed to send more troops along the coast of Ningbo prefecture.Compared with other maps named Ningbo Prefecture,this map is not only huge in scale,but also outstanding in style and abundant in information.As far as the history of cartography is concerned,this map provides very important and concrete evidence for the transition period of the cartography from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.In terms of the historical research,this map provides the direct historical materials.In addition to confirming a number of historical records,this map also provides another way to understand historical facts except historical books for generations in the future.
