<br/><br/> In 1659, a vast and unusual map of China arrived in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. From the Gobi Desert to the Philippines, from Java to Tibet and into China itself, the author uses the map (actually a schematic representations of China's relation to astrological heaven) to tease out the varied elements that defined this period in China's history.
