This disclosed a striking inconsistency, for the Chinese side themselves had elsewhere described the same work as “authoritative and comprehensive”, and “covering all important material”; and they had cited a passage from the 1782 edition of the work which vaguely referred to the sources of rivers being in Ho-t’ien, The Indian side pointed out that no specific conclusions about the boundary alignment could be drawn from this general statement. On the other hand, the 1762 edition of this work clearly stated that the “Ho-t’ien river rises from the Nan Shan” mountains, which were the same as the Kuen Lun mountains. Another map in the same work categorically affirmed that Sinkiang did not extend any further south than the Sanjutagh, which was nearly 60 miles north of the Kuen Lun mountains. en 1966 1637 Sung Ying-Hsing E-tu Zen Sun; Shiou-Chuan Sun Chinese Technology in the Seventeenth Century: Tiangong Kaiwu T'ien-kung K'ai-wu https://archive.org/details/chinesetechnolog0000song/ Mineola, NY w:Dover Publications 1997 0-486-29593-1 96-53237 924843306 309, 356 https://archive.org/details/chinesetechnolog0000sung/page/309/ Yü-t’ien is a state located in an area known as Ho-t’ien since the eighteenth century (not to be confused with the Yü-t’ien District set up in late nineteenth century some 150 kilometers to the east). Ho-t’ien is situated in southwestern Sinkiang just below the northern foothills of the Karakorem Range and near the upper reaches of a water course, the Ho-t’ien or South Ts’ung-ling River. To the west is the Kashgar or North Ts’ung-ling River. The two join the Yerkand River and form the Tarim River system in south-central Sinkiang. These rivers have their headwaters in the Ts’ung-ling range, which is the general term for the eastern part of the Pamir Heights. The White-Jade River and the Green-Jade River, as mentioned in the present book, are probably the Ho-t’ien and the Kashgar.
