" Kunyu Wan Guo Quan Map " is the world's first Chinese version of the world map. The production time is 1602, which was drawn by Italian missionary Ricci . On this map, five continents have appeared, namely Europe, Asia, Africa, America, and Movara Muda. So how does these continents come from?
Italian, in the Atlantic Ocean, has not been in China since ancient times. At HTML's 11,000 calendar , the country of mansion to Matteeson to the Beijing Division is the "All Map of the Allure", and there are five continents in the world. The first is Asia, Asia, more than 100 countries in China, and one of China. The second is Orobazhou, with more than 70 countries in China, and it is one of Itali. Third, Levi Asia, there are more than a hundred countries. The fourth is the larger land, which is even larger and connected to the country, divided into North and South Island. In the end, Movara Mud Kazhou is the fifth. And the earth is full. It is said that it is deserted, but its Chinese people are full of land, and their land is inherently inherent. - " Mingshi "
first, look at Europe. In "The Map of Kunyu", Europe was written as "Europa". In English, Europa wrote to Europa. In Greek mythology, Europa was originally the princess of Phoenic , and was later cheated by Crete Island by Zeus . Europa has become a self -proclaimed in Europe.
is recorded as "Asia" in Asia in "Kunyu Wan Guo Quan Map", which means "the land of the solar", which is the East. In Classical , Phoenicians , the east of the East East is called "ASU" ( Association ) east of . Greatly referred to as "EREB", which means "the place of the day." ASU later evolved into ASIA (Asia). During the Roman Empire, the Asian Peninsula once established the Asian province.
"Asia" part of the "Asian" part of the "Ah Minisa" in the "Kunyu Wan Guo" is the first word "Asia" in Chinese in Chinese in "Map of Shan Haiyu". The map was published in Zhaoqing, Guangdong in 1584. The first world map of making. It can be seen that the word was introduced by Matteo Ricci. However, at the time, the Chinese did not agree with the term "Asia". "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded: " torrent to Matteo Ricci to Beijing, for the full picture of all the country, there are five continents in the world. And China is one of them ... and the earth is full of land.
The Ming Dynasty
Wei Jun and others made sharp criticisms on Matteo Ricci. Near north? The so -called " is based on tens of thousands of miles in China, with a spear stabbing shield, and the fallacy does not attack ". It can be seen that the Chinese people at that time did not know the world situation.
was influenced by the Ming Dynasty literature. The Taiwan marks in the picture were chaotic, and several islands
Africa appeared in Dongning, Great Ryukyu and Xiaoliu Belite. It is AFRICA and is now translated as "African", which means "the sun is burning". In 146 BC, , ended the Third Buyan War , and Roman Republic defeated Carthage , seizing Tunisia , where African province was established. Over time, Africa began to refer to the entire North Africa region, which is the South Bank continent of the Mediterranean. In the opening of the new route, the Portuguese discovered the coastline of the entire African continent, and Africa became the name of the entire Africa.
America, recorded in "Kunyu Wan Guo" is recorded as "Asiamliga", English name is AMERICA. Among them, North America is marked as "North Asian Merliga" and South America is marked as "South Asia Maliga".The term "Asta" was translated into "AMIMil1" in Modern Chinese .
North Asian Murliga
1492, Columbus appeared in the New World, but he thought it was India, so it was named East India Islands . The aboriginal people named "India" Later, in order to distinguish the Indians, they were translated into Indians . In 1499,
, Italian navigator Ameigo arrived in the Americas with the Portuguese fleet, conducted a detailed inspection of the Americas, and finally confirmed that the Americas were a new continent and resumed the world map. 1507, he published "Maritime Travel Story Collection", which caused a sensation in Europe. Since then, the maps in Europe have modified the map overnight.
Shortly, French scholars used the name of Ameigeo as the new continent when modifying "Cosmology" to commemorate the outstanding contributions of Ameige. Later, people used "A Merido" to "A Merida" as "A Merida" in the way of naming other continents. At the beginning, Ameliga only guided the Americas. In 1541, the world map made by McCato also marked North America as "AMIMI".
McCato's World Map
McCato's World Map, North America is marked as "American SIVE India Nova", which means
Movara Mud, Latin Chinese is Magallanica, which is marked in the position of the current Antarctica Essence In the Middle Ages, European geographical scientists envisioned in the southern part of the earth, the southern continent. After the discovery of the Americas, many scholars believed that South America and the South China continent were connected together. Until Magellan crossed South America, geography scientists drew a narrow strait between the two. To commemorate Magellan (Magellan), European geographic scholars have begun to name the Southern Continent with Magallanica (the country of Magellan). Reflect.
"Kunyu Wan Guo Full Map" The color version of
to the 17th century, Western navigators discovered a mainland in southern southeast Asia, so people thought they found the southern continent, so they named "Australia" (AUSTRA "(AUSTRA" lia) means the southern continent. For a long time, the world map was envisaged to "disappear" in the mainland of Antarctica because the location moved to Australia. In the 18th century, people discovered a new continent in Antarctica, but the names of the southern continent have been given to the southern continent, so people use Antarctica to name this new continent discovered.

Europeans not only imagined a South China mainland, but also imagined the North mainland. Land. In 1507, Martin Valdzimelle 's world map of draws a continent on the Arctic, marked as "Eagronland" , and "Kunyu Wan Guo Quan Map" is translated as "the Asian State of Langlan". Why do Europeans think that there is a continent in the north? In ancient times,
, Icelanders and Vikings in Northern Europe had explored in the Arctic, and they found some land in Arctic Circle . In 19982, Norwegian pirate "Red Hair Eric" also found land in the Arctic Circle. After returning, he told his friends that he found a green continent. After , the European map often used " Greenland " ( Greenland means a green place) to name this imagined mainland .
in Asia, the European explorer, has repeatedly explored the European explorer, and gradually discovered that the mainland does not exist, but there are land. Therefore, the North Continent of the Arctic was disassembled to multiple land or islands on the map. These are all envisions. Later, people completely discovered the world's largest island, so Greenland became its name."The Asian State of the Lang" in "The Full Map of the Kunyu" is marked in the location of Greenland, but the outline and Greenland are very different because this is just the imagination of the mainland.
's current continent names are named Westerners, and China missed the era of great sailing, and naturally lost the opportunity to name all continents. For the first time, "Kunyu and Wan Nations" introduced the name of the world continents to China, giving the Chinese a chance to understand the world. Unfortunately, the Chinese at that time believed that the "Kunyu Wan Nations" was very ridiculous, refused to understand the world, and continued to close their own self -defending, so that the Chinese people's geographical concepts continued to be limited in the self -centered "Heavenly Kingdom" system.
