The Da Ming Hun Yi Tu map is one of the few remaining cartographic documents from east Asia. The map was created around 1398 with in Ming China just prior to Zheng He's expeditions, and fully displays the collective geographic knowledge of the Chinese, Islamic, and central asian scholars. East China is massively stretched out of proportion to take up nearly three fourths of Eurasia, while Africa is a modest dismunative peninsula, Europe is barely recognizable and crammed tightly in the far west, India is labeled but barely drawn. This is the deliberate work of the Chinese world view, that China was the Middle Kingdom, the central nexus of culture and prosperity a rival to none.
