Wujing Zongyao
The "Wujing Zongyao"'s illustrated descriptions of warships had a significant influence on later naval handbooks and encyclopedias such as the naval section of the "Wubei Zhi" from circa 1628. These works would incorporate illustrations of ships originally from the "Wujing Zongyao". The use of pictures from the "Wujing Zongyao" would continue to appear in Japanese naval texts up until the 18th century. The illustrations were used by both Nishikawa Joken's "Ka-i Tsūshō-kō" (Studies on the Intercourse and Trade with Chinese and Barbarians) in 1708 and Kanazawa Kanemitsu's "Wakan Senyōshū" (Collected Studies on the Ships used by the Chinese and Japanese) in 1766.
