Huang Qing Zhigong Tu

Huang Qing Zhigong Tu (Chinese: 皇清職貢圖; Collection of Portraits of Subordinate Peoples of the Qing Dynasty) is an 18th-century ethnological study of Chinese tributary states, including Western nations that traded with the Qing Empire.[1][2] It was published around 1769.[2] The book identified peoples and countries by drawing attention to their national dresses, similarly to European costume books.[3]

The study contained numerous factual errors, such as reporting that France was a Buddhist state before becoming Catholic, that England and Sweden were vassals of Holland, and that France (Falanxi) and Portugal (Folangji) were the same country.[4]
