Since the 1860s, Japan has sent four missions to Shanghai, leaving behind a large amount of survey materials. This book is the result of Chinese scholars' reflections and re-examination after reading and studying the selected writings of the crew of the Japanese "Thousand-Year-Old Ship" in Shanghai. In terms of format, the book includes the original records by Japanese people and the author's research, facilitating readers' comparative reading.
