Qing Empire era Chinese pictures of the different European peoples

this Pole looks like he got raped by Mongols before arriving to China

Did a swedish man fuck the emperor’s concubine or how did we make them seethe so much?

in Chinese culture at the time, China was the center of the world. Barbarian here is the same way that everyone was a barbarian to the ancient Greeks. Its more about what language they speak. It could mean anything. A popular term for merchants was "ocean man" which would be called a barbarian in their language, but it doesnt mean anything bad.

Had no idea there were Hungarian, Polish and Swiss merchants in China.

Why are eastern europeans drawn as discount mongols
Why is the ((((swede)))) drawn like that

Wow people looked really Asian back in the day

The descriptions are pretty interesting:

Italy:
>The Great Western Ocean is also called Italy [Yidaliya]. Their skin is white and their noses lofty, and they make their hats by bending black felt into triangular shapes. Their women tie their hair crudely and attach golden beads to the rims of their dresses. They have temporary residences in Macao [which was actually leased from the Chinese government by Portugal, not Italy] and pay rent every year.

Swiss:
>This country is a vassal of the Kingdom of Germany [Reermaniya guo]. The people are loyal and righteous; they always pay their debts. Their schools are built by their government, or by their public institutions. Their land, which is frigid due to the mountainous climate, produces gold and jewels. Their people are said to be masters of constructing buildings. Their women are chaste, simple, and honest; being very dexterous, they weave with their bare hands, scorning to use a loom.

Hungary
>Its people are kin to the Mongols; they are said to be very clever, experienced in horse riding, always carrying their saber. The women are well read and their culture venerates beauty. Gold, silver, copper, and iron are so abundant as to be exported.

Poland:
>This country is east of Germany. Because the area is frigid, its inhabitants all wear coats of fox pelt even into early summer. The Poles like sword-fighting, and they also train bears in their houses and make them perform tricks. The women are in charge of all household affairs. Their laws are harsh both within and abroad. This country produces amber.

england:
>England is part of Holland. Most men wear duoluo velvet [not sure what this is DESU], while their unmarried women tie cloth around their waist to make it as thin as possible. The women also wear short shirts and heavy skirts; when they leave their house, they bring ground tobacco snuff in gold-threaded boxes.

Sweden:
>Sweden is also a vassal of Holland [???]. They show respect by doffing their hats. They carry around a whip to protect themselves. Their women do not respect chastity; they reveal their breasts and lewdly tie their skirts over their clothing.

France:
>France [Falanxi] is also called France [Fulangxi]. Before, they ravaged Luzon [in the Philippines; what reference could this be?]. Now they have partitioned the Americas with the Red-Haired Barbarians [the Dutch] and do as they wish in Min and Yue [southern coast of China]. Recently they fight for hegemony with England, but they are rather weak.

Holland:
>Holland is also called England, and in China they are known as the Red-Haired Barbarians. Their country borders France. They always move around in great ships.

Russia:
>Russia is located at the northern end of the world. During the Han Empire [same time as the Romans in Europe], the ancestors of the Russians were the tribes of Jiankun and Dingling [these were actually Kyrgyz people, not Russians]. During the Tang Empire [same time as the Carolingians], the Russians were the tribes of Xiajiasi and Guligan [still Kyrgyz]. During the Yuan Empire [when the Mongols ruled China], they were called the Aluosi and the Jilijisi [the Aluosi are actually Russians conquered by the Mongols, the Jilijisi are still Kyrgyz]. During the three hundred years of Ming rule [from 1368 to 1644] they lost contact with China. During the Qing Empire, in the reign of the Kangxi emperor, they finally paid tribute. They have eight provinces, which they call sike [maybe a Russian can tell me what this is?], and each sike is divided into smaller sike.

Also included
>Black slave of the Europeans and his black slave wife: "The European barbarians feed them from a manger and abuse them with wooden poles."

Japan:
>They worship shamans and the Buddha. Whenever they go out, they carry a long sword.

>England is part of Holland.
>Sweden is also a vassal of Holland

Based Dutch conquering all of Europe

>>England is part of Holland
I'm guessing these were written when The Netherlands and Britain were in a personal union.

wtf Switzerland is so fucking accurate even to this day

>Italy
>Their skin is white

russian

that's right muttboi

The book is called the Huang Qing Zhigong Tu and its pretty funny. France/Portugal were the same country. France was also a Buddhist nation in the past. Denmark was an island. Nuns are called slaves. Jesuits monks are like samurai.

To them being economically dependent would be considered a vassal. And it was probably a bit of propaganda from the Dutch, who also had almost a monopoly in the yellow sea

The swede is the only one that doesn't look like a chink
