This paper introduces three types of primary correctors for the Chinese 2.16m telescope. Each corrector has a 2-degree field and can be used to compensate the atmospheric dispersion of 6 sec. The primary mirror of the telescope is a 2.16m hyperboloid with ellipicity 1.0951347 and f-ratio of 3. The first corrector consists of 4 elements, all of their surfaces being spherical. The second corrector also consists of 4 elements, one of which is an ellipsoid. The third one consists of three elements, for which two kinds of structure parameters and the relevant results are given. Lens-prisms (lensms) are used to compensate the atmospheric dispersion. These three types of correctors have similar performances: The maximum element is about 52 cm, and the maximum lensm about 38 cm., the maximum image spread 1.6 sec and the maximum principal ray angle 1 deg 36 min. For each corrector the spread diagrams under the maximum dispersion and zero dispersion states are given.
