b) The historicity and comprehensiveness of the text formation age At present, there is no doubt that this Liushui Genglubu was copied by Zheng Changmei in October 1980. However, through careful study of its content, it can be seen that the original copy may not only, but also a combination of the long-term records of the fishermen in the history of the area and other ' Genglubu ', and on this basis, it has been modified and added some content. For example, the first page of the ' see the schedule with running water ': ' Mao: five to six o 'clock in the morning : rabbit. Chen: seven to eight o 'clock in the morning : dragon...... Yin: three to four o 'clock at the night: tiger, etc. These time records, combined with the ancient phase, time and modern time clock records, can be more convenient to use clocks to record water time. c) The recording method of graphic-text combination The very important feature of the "Liushui Genglubu" is its combination of graphics and text, which is very rare in other versions of the " Genglubu. " In the roundabout route of Hainan Province, there are corresponding charts under each written record. The routes in these charts are composed of needle positions and mileages, and are marked with ports, islands, peaks, water potentials, reefs, dark sands, and fishing operations along the coast. It can be said that these charts are a development of ancient Chinese nautical charts, and can also be seen as an extension of mountain water potential charts in modern times. d) Complete Hainan round-island’s Routes At present, most of the ' Genglubu ' departure ports are Tanmen Port in Qionghai City, Hainan Province. This version of the route in Hainan Province is a very complete roundabout route starting from Haikou, the northern port of Hainan Province, passing through the western port, the southern port, the eastern port, and finally reaching Haikou. This part of the road records about 90 roads and 90 ports, which provides very important information and value for the study of Hainan's ports, fishery resources, geological water quality, maritime traffic, and private trade. e) Its background is related to the prosperous commercial trade in Yinggehai, Ledong County, Hainan Province According to the author's research, Yinggehai people's fishing operations are mostly in the offshore area; fishery trade is to sail around the island, or from Hainan to Guangdong, Guangxi, Vietnam and other places. ‘Yinggehai Zhi’ records the prosperous commercial trade of Yinggehai. According to the records of ' Yinggehai Zhi ', in the 25th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the business firms of Fang's Zhi Qigong in Xin 'an Village, Baishabu, Haikou moved to Yinggehai, and soon the business firms of Wang Yinggong in Daojun Village, Qiongshan County moved to Yinggehai. These commercial ports mainly engaged in shipbuilding oil, lime, fine linen, hemp, cotton yarn, etc., and also purchased seafood to nearby villages for trading. Since Yinggehai village, most fishermen mainly engaged in fishery production and trade. The villagers of the village have never planted fields, and they use seafood to exchange rice, sweet potatoes, etc. with farmers in the nearby countryside. The sea area of Yinggehai is rich in seafood. The fishermen in this village generally work in the nearby sea area and rarely go to other places. The book ' Liushui Genglubu ' records a round-the-island route map from Haikou to the west coast of Hainan to the east coast of Hainan to Haikou, a route from Hainan to Guangdong and Guangxi, and a separate page centered on Fushuizhou, which is obviously related to commercial trade. In addition, ' Yinggehai Zhi ' also records the prosperous commercial trade of Yinggehai. In the fifty- three years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Wang, Chen and Fang's commercial banks in Yinggehai formed a maritime ' Silk Road ' in Yinggehai in order to broaden the seafood trade market. This passage goes north to Basuo, Danzhou, Haikou, Beihai, Chikan, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, and east to Leluo, Yacheng and Qinglan Port. From the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty to the 20 years of the Republic of China, it was the heyday of the seafood trade in Yinggehai. During this period, Chen Qingwu's Xingfa Commercial Bank, Fang Mingjia's Yonghe Sheng Commercial Bank, and Wang Hengji's Hengji Commercial Bank purchased a large number of high- quality seafood from Yinggehai and transported them to Haikou, Zhanjiang, Chikan, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places. Similarly, the book also has a rich record of aquatic products in the sea area of Yinggehai: ' Yinggehai to Wanglou Port, water distance 50 miles, this port has a lot of local products '; and ' Haikang to Yupao port, where the port has few people, including cargo ships. ' It shows that the ' Liushui Genglubu ' not only pays attention to the mountain shape and water potential of each port, but also pays attention to the products of each port, as well as the situation of cargo ships and salt ships, which may be related to the fact that the user of ' Liushui Genglubu ' may be a merchant ship. IV. T he C hart in Z heng C hangmei's C opy of L iushui G englubu Ancient Chinese maps are often combined with words and pictures. In the 'Textual Research and Interpretation of Ancient Nautical Charts', Zhang Xun (1980) pointed out: ' Traditional ancient maps in China often have pictures and says, pictures and says.' However, in the process of copying, the maps drawn in the text are often deleted due to various reasons.
