These fine paintings are in the collection of the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. They date from around 1745 when they were painted at the order of the Supervising Censor Liu Shiqi, who requested detail on Taiwan's aboriginal culture. The work was originally unofficially entitled Tai Fan Tushuo (An Illustrated Account of Taiwan's Aboriginal Peoples). The work contains a tipped-in map showing the northern villages and coastal region of Taiwan. This is followed by 17 tipped-in colour plates showing aboriginal activities as follows: Catching Fish, Hunting Deer, Climbing and Gathering, Planting Taro, Tilling the Fields, Reaping the Harvest, Husking Rice, Refining Sugar, Weaving Thread, Raising the Roof, Crossing the River, Travelling Cart, Welcoming Women, Mountain Hammocks, Guarding the Pass, Atop the Watchtower, Village Teacher. Each tipped-in colour plate measures 30x24 cm. On the facing text page there is an explanation of the activity in English and Chinese. Preface and list of contents in English. The work is accompanied by a 42 page booklet in Chinese giving a historical interpretation of the work and its context. There is a one page English summary. Facsimile reproduction of one of the earliest works showing the Chinese view of the Ainu. Out-of-print.
