What does the map of the ancient city look like?

I find that some authors have very problematic attitudes towards history.Of course, if you write about foreign history, I don’t care what Constantinople looks like, just do whatever you want.

However, many ancient Chinese historical materials, especially ancient Chinese maps, cannot be found by professionals. This is also a shortcoming of the records at that time.

If you can't find it, just write it down casually. Don't give a superficial description and mislead readers into thinking that the real historical city was like this.

You can also compile a map and indicate in the easter egg chapter: This map was compiled by the author of the book.

Adding a watermark is not difficult, right?

But many authors are not like this.

I deliberately made up a map to match my plot, but I won’t say that I made it up, even if every stroke in it is real, and even the plane shape of the city is fake.

And I don’t say that it was borrowed from elsewhere. Anyway, I just didn’t say anything. The readers were misled into thinking that this was a historical map. That’s because they are stupid.I just bully you for not having the ability to discern, in order to create a "sense of reality" for me to write historical articles.

Next, I will post scanned versions of various ancient maps in the comment area of ​​this chapter so that everyone can see what real historical maps look like.From now on, everyone will be able to tell at a glance which maps are historical maps and which maps were compiled by the author.

Pay attention to the comment section of this chapter.
