长沙国深平防区地形图


长沙国深平防区地形图亦称长沙国南部地形图(西汉 文帝)1973年12月发掘湖南长沙市东郊马王堆三号汉墓(轪侯之子墓)时出土。
绢底彩绘,成图于公元前168年以前。比例尺约为1:180 000,相当于汉代的一寸折十里,地图幅面为纵96cm、横96cm。原图上本无名,由于地图内容包含了山川、道路、城镇等要素,故取名“地形图”。现藏于湖南省博物馆。
本图上方为南,下方为北, 采用田青、淡棕、黑三色绘画, 较详细地表示了山脉、河流、道路、城镇、乡里等内容。河流表示得十分突出,从河源到下游,以逐渐变粗的线条表示。较大的河在河口处均注有河名。著名的深水、冷水在其源头标注“深水源”“冷水源”文字。 地貌表示颇具特色,山脉、山峰、山头、山谷诸元素皆清晰可见。采用闭合曲线表示山脉坐落、山体轮廓和走向,这是中国和世界上最早的表示地貌的科学方法,它虽然还不是18世纪出现的等高线,但已具备了高度概括和抽象的特点。该图翔实的内容、科学的表示方法,都超越了以往人们对古代地图传统的概念。国际制图学界普遍认为:马王堆汉墓地图是世界地图学史上罕见的珍宝,具有划时代的意义。
