Updated : 2017-03-17 Large Medium Small Print

Prepared by Jin Lihuang and Jin Lihui of Chinese Historical Map Press in 1948, and published by Yaguang Geographic Press and distributed by Greater China Bookstore, the map adopted the new pattern and new names for Nanyang Qundao in Southeast Asia, following the new names released by the Ministry of Interior for Nanhai Zhudao. In the map, Dongsha Qundao, Xisha Qundao, Zhongsha Qundao, Nansha Qundao, Nanshi (Huangyan Dao) and Zengmu Ansha (James Shoal) in the southernmost point of the South China Sea were all enclosed in waters bordered with dots and solid lines. The entire waters were superimposed with "Republic of China", indicating the Chinese sovereignty over Nanhai Zhudao.
