Huayi tu

A 1933(?) Rubbing of the Huayi Tu Stele from the Library of Congress. The actual size is about three feet square.[1]

The Hua Yi Tu (華夷圖, Map of China and the Barbarian Countries) is a map engraved as a stone stele dated from 1136, around the time of the Song dynasty. It is the earliest surviving map that displays maritime connections between China and other foreign states.[2] The stele is now in the Stele Forest or Beilin Museum (碑林; pinyin: Bēilín) in Xi'an, China.[3]
