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 had been 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]
