The latter is very precious, because it is a very rare royal hand -painted ancient map of China more than 400 years ago. In addition to remembering the military strategy of China's coastal coastal in the early Qing Dynasty, it is also one of the few strategies of Taiwan's east and west strategic defense. Tan Zhaozhang said that on the ancient map, he can clearly see that Taiwan was identified as the "House" of Daqing. Of course, the proportion and regional shape of ancient hand -drawn maps are very different from the actual geography in terms of proportions and regional shapes, but it also proves that Taiwan has always been part of China.

Tan Zhaozhang's "The Full Map of the World" of the Daqing Wannian Nian Nian "is one of the minority pictures of the strategic defense of the Qing Dynasty on both sides of the strait of the Qing Dynasty.

Another 18th -century British navigation records a route from Keelung Town, Taiwan to "Ryukyu Naha Port". Among them, Diaoyu Islands belong to the signs of sailing. Clearly explain the disputes in recent years.

Later, he naturally started collecting maps. In recent years, Tan Zhaozhang has presented or borrowed thousands of collections to different majors and research institutions, such as Hong Kong universities and the National Library of Singapore. Major development encourages the next generation of research and development of the map. In September 2010, he showed hundreds of international navigation maps from Britain, France, Germany, and Japan to confirm the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands.

The official Weibo of the National Library of China has introduced the "Full Map of the World in the Qing Dynasty" in 2018. This picture does not only have "one picture", but there are many hand -painted revised versions. Therefore, there are a little difference in drawing. There are also wrong words modification. There are three national libraries, which are rewritten for the first engraving of the first seal, the first seal of the first engraving, and the Jiaqing Yellow Chuwen to re -enroll the school engraving in the thirty -two years of Qianlong. Tan Zhaozhang's first exhibition was the hand -painted solitary book during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.
