English: The Kangxi or Jesuit Atlas (皇輿全覽圖, "Map of a Complete View of the Imperial Territories") was a massive survey of the Qing Empire and its vassals undertaken under Jesuit guidance between 1708 and 1717 during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor. It was pubished in a Chinese woodblock copy presented to the emperor in early 1718, a revised copperplate copy presented in 1719, and a revised Chinese and Manchu woodblock copy presented in 1721. Versions of the maps were smuggled to Europe by the Jesuits, where they were published in Du Halde's 1735 French Description of China (Description... de la Chine...) and its many copies, including the 1737 Dutch pirate New Atlas of China (Nouvel Atlas de la Chine...); 1736, 1738, and 1741 English editions; a 1745–1756 German edition; and a 1774–1777 Russian edition. A copy of a Chinese original was published in 1941 and 1943 by the Nazi Sinologist Wilhelm Fuchs in Japanese-occupied China.
