我国的地图是从实用的基础上发展起来的。古昔地图大都像图画一样富於直观感觉,或者在图上附以详细的说明文字。一千七百年前,裴秀制图,总结了前人的制图经验,完成了一套制图理论。裴秀的理论除科学地缕述地图所应表达的地理观念之外,他所作的图,尤能摒弃画图的原始性质。本文愿就历史悠久的我国制图学和裴秀的制图理论加以论述。 Our map has been developed on a practical basis. Most of the ancient map of the past, as rich as the intuitive sense of painting, or in the drawings attached to the detailed description. Seventeen hundred years ago, Pei Xiu drawing, summarizing the experience of the previous drawing, completed a cartographic theory. Pei Xiu’s theory aside from scientifically mapping the map should express the geographical concept, he made the map, especially to abandon the primitive nature of the drawing. This article is intended to elaborate on the long history of cartography in China and Pei Xiu’s cartography theory.
