中文摘要：

从几个典型的中国古地图的数学基础出发,结合相关的数学方法,探讨了中国古人在地理空间维度认知方面走过的历程。认为,当中国古代地图发展到以“计里画方”进行地图绘制时,已经实现了3维地理空间的科学认知。这也是“计里画方”的制图方法可以持续1 000多年的理论依据。

英文摘要：

Combining with correlative mathematical methods, mathematic basis of some typical ancient maps in China was investigated, and the course of recognizing the geographical space-dimension in ancient China was analyzed. The research shows that the ancient Chinese was able to cognize and draw the 3D geographical space correctly.
