Abstract Xie Sui' Zhigongtu collected by the Palace Museum in Taipei， is a complete copying version of Huangqingzhigongtu during the Qianlong period. Based on the observations of 23 portraits of Guizhou's Miao people in Zhigongtu， and the comparison with the pictures of Miao people in Baimiaotu， this paper reveals the different perspectives of Miao people in Zhigongtu.The portraits in Zhigongtu focus on the characters， and Guizhou's Miao people is classified into four categories： civilized， submissive， primitive and fierce. This classification is based on the accomplishment of bureaucratization of native officers in the region where the ethic group lives， as well as the relationship between the culture of the ethnic group and the Han culture. The image construction of Miao people demonstrates the painters' strong value judgement criteria with their own bias. It also reflects the arrogant attitude of the government and painters. Therefore， to a certain extent，the portraits of Miao people in Zhigongtu can be regarded as a visual representation of the governance of the Miao territory during the early Qing Dynasty.
