The interface enables users to zoom in on details or zoom out to get a view of the entire map. Please note: you will need to use a java enabled browser (such as Inernet Explorer 5+ or Mozilla Firefox) to view the map. If the map does not load properly in your browser, check to be sure that it is a recent version of the browser, or try to view the map in a different browser. The Jingban tianwen quantu reflects a Sinocentric world view in which every country but China is relegated to the periphery. At the top is a panel with two side-by-side hemispheric world maps. Korea and the islands of the east Indies are illustrated to the east and south of the China land mass, while a shrunken Europe is squeezed into the upper left corner. The map measures 45 inches in height by 27 inches in width. It is a woodblock map on rice paper, and it features outline color with a green sea. In two places the image is interrupted by a thin band of white space, dividing the map into thirds. The original map is held in Fondren Library's
