21 naked-eye sunspot records in the 17th century, hitherto unknown, have been gleaned from a large collection of local gazettes of China. Based on these data, together with the telescopic records of contemporary Europe, we discuss in detail the solar activity during the 17th century. We have re-examined Wolf's years of maxima and minima and given improved values. We re-evaluate the question of the ``Maunder Minimum'' and conclude that it is an incorrect inference due to insufficient data.
