Zhaotong Prefecture is portrayed by a pictorial walled city in a very exaggerated manner to indicate its supreme administrative power in the region; text inside the walled city describes the organization of military personnel. Features are shown by different pictorial symbols. The Green Standard Army is shown in yellow, red, blue, and white; four colors represent central, front, left, and right military units in the Green Standard Army; each unit structure indicates the number of soldiers. Mountains are shown by pictorial mountain symbols; rivers are colored in green; roads in red dotted lines, and checkpoints in red flags.
