Four big bronze instruments were made in the seventh year of the Zhengtong reign of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1442). They are the Armillary Sphere, Abridged Armilla, Gnomon and Celestial Globe. The first three ones are well presented in the Purple Mountain Observatory. But the Celestial Globe was destroyed in the early period of the Qing Dynasty. According to the astronomical treatises of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty and related references the authors reconstructed this instrument in original size.
