I don’t think this short article from Paul Fraser Collectibles on Matteo Ricci’s 1602 Chinese-language map of the world adds much to what we already know, but it does include the above video from Chinese media coverage of the map’s appearance at the Library of Congress. I have maybe five words of Mandarin but still found this interesting.
