Which book did geography first come from, as follows:

Geography can be traced back to Shan Hai Jing and other works in ancient China, which are all representatives of ancient geography works. Among them, Shan Hai Jing is one of the important ancient geography books in China, which contains a lot of geographical information, such as natural geographical information such as mountains, rivers, lakes and oceans, as well as human geographical information such as cities, villages and places of interest.

Water Mirror Notes is a professional geography book, which records the distribution, sources and tributaries of ancient water systems in detail. It is one of the important reference books for the study of ancient geography in China.

In addition to China's ancient geography works, the earliest geography works in the west can be traced back to Geography written by strabo in ancient Greece, which is an important milestone in the history of western geography and has a far-reaching impact on the development of geography later.

During the Middle Ages, many geographical works appeared in Europe, the most famous of which was the Travels of Marco Polo by Kyle Polo, which described Kyle Polo's travel experience in the East in detail and played an important role in understanding the eastern culture, geography and commerce at that time.

In modern times, geography has been more widely developed and applied. 1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, German scientist Wei Gena put forward the theory of continental drift, which had a far-reaching impact on the development of modern geography. At the same time, with the development of aerospace technology, the application of aerial photography and satellite remote sensing further promoted the development of geography.

In a word, geography, as an ancient discipline, has experienced a long development process. From China's ancient Classic of Mountains and Seas and Notes on Water Classics to western geography, to modern continental drift theory, modern aerial photography and satellite remote sensing technology, geography is constantly developing and improving.
