The map was created by Jodocus Hondius in 1606.

Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) was a Flemish cartographer, engraver, and publisher, primarily active in the Netherlands during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He is renowned for his contributions to the field of cartography, including producing and publishing maps and atlases.

During the 17th century, China was under the Ming Dynasty, and it had limited interactions with European explorers and cartographers. Dutch and other European traders were beginning to establish maritime trade routes with Asia, including China, during this time.

Hondius started his career as an engraver and acquired skills in mapmaking through his work on atlases and maps of various regions. He collaborated with several prominent cartographers of his time, including Gerardus Mercator, and eventually set up his own map publishing business in Amsterdam.

One of Hondius's most significant works was the "Mercator-Hondius atlas," which was based on the earlier works of Gerardus Mercator. Hondius expanded and improved the atlas, making it one of the most influential and popular cartographic works of its time. The atlas contained detailed maps of various regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

Jodocus Hondius is also known for his efforts to update and improve map accuracy by incorporating the latest geographic knowledge and discoveries of his time. He was part of the emerging Dutch Golden Age of cartography, during which the Netherlands played a pivotal role in the advancement of mapmaking and exploration.

Hondius's maps and atlases were highly sought after and widely distributed, contributing to a greater understanding of the world during the Age of Exploration. His work and legacy have had a lasting impact on the development of cartography and geography.
