圖理琛，阿顏覺羅氏，滿洲正黃旗人。 Tulichen, of the Ayin Jueluo clan, was a Manchu of the Plain Yellow Banner.

命圖理琛偕侍讀學士殷扎納、郎中納顏齎敕諭阿玉奇，假道鄂羅斯。 Tulichen was sent with Hanlin reader Yin Zhana and Director Nayin, bearing an edict to Ayuki by way of Russia.

五月，圖理琛等自京師啟行，七月，至鄂羅斯境楚庫柏興。 In the fifth month Tulichen's party left the capital; in the seventh month they reached Chukuboishing in Russia.

圖理琛等以上意諭之曰：「阿喇布珠爾已賜爵優養，欲遣歸爾牧地，以策妄阿喇布坦方與爾交惡，恐為所戕。 Tulichen conveyed the emperor's message: "Alabuzhur has been ennobled and well provided for; we wish to send him home to your pastures, but Tsewang Arabtan is your enemy and may kill him.

阿玉奇及納扎爾瑪穆特等各贈馬及方物，圖理琛等以越境無私交，卻不受。 Ayuki, Nazarmamut, and others offered horses and gifts; Tulichen declined, holding that envoys abroad must accept no private gifts.

圖理琛等遂行，由舊路歸，鄂羅斯遣護如初。 Tulichen's party set out homeward by the same route, with Russian escorts as before.

圖理琛奉使無辱命，既歸國，入對，述往還事狀，並撰異域錄，首冠輿圖，次為行記，呈上覽。 Tulichen fulfilled his mission honorably; on return he had audience, recounted the journey, and compiled the Record of Strange Lands—maps first, then a travel narrative—for the emperor's review.

圖理琛遷郎中。 Tulichen was promoted to director.

聖祖東訪長白山，西探河源，北撫土爾扈特，武默訥、舒蘭、圖理琛奉使稱職。 The Sacred Ancestor visited Changbai in the east, traced the river source in the west, and received the Torghuts in the north; Wu Mone, Shu Lan, and Tulichen all served ably as envoys.
