Abstract

Maps along the Great Wall in Shanxi stored in the National Palace Museum of Taiwan and the Kyoto University were compared and analyzed. This article makes it clear that: (1) the National Palace Museum owns two different Maps along the Great Wall in Shanxi, which are very similar to the Map stored in the Kyoto University. These maps are regarded to belong to a series of 'Maps along the Great Wall in Shanxi.' (2) A whole set of 'Map along the Great Wall in Shanxi' has three subsets of twenty sheets of maps: the first set (six maps) covers the geographical area along the east line of Great Wall, the second (six maps) covers the area along the central line, and the third (eight maps) covers the area along the west line. (3) In each set, maps are piled up basically from eastern map (top page) to western map (bottom page). (4) Two Maps in the National Palace Museum consist of twenty-two sets of 148 maps. (5) The Map stored in the Kyoto University, which has thirteen sheets of maps, does not have five maps along the central line and two maps along the west line. (6) The missing maps from the Map stored in the Kyoto University could not be found at the National Palace Museum. (7) White colored ramparts, which are made of stones, are drawn in the Maps stored in the National Palace Museum, but not in the Maps stored in the Kyoto University. (8) Significance of rampart colors is clarified: indigo-bluecolored ramparts are made of tiles, and light-brown-colored ramparts are made of mud.
