Excuse me, where is the Ming Dynasty globe recorded?

During the Ming Dynasty, the production technology of globes was very developed, and many scholars and craftsmen devoted themselves to the development and production of globes. The records of globes in Ming Dynasty are mainly found in books and documents in geography, mathematics and other fields.

Yongle Dadian in Ming Dynasty is the largest encyclopedia in Ming Dynasty, involving 54 volumes of Astronomical Dictionary, which contains astronomical knowledge such as sun, moon, five stars, constellations, stars, sun, moon, five elements and star names. They are all written in detail, and there is also an introduction to the production method and related knowledge of the globe. In addition, there are also experiences and explanations about globes in geography books such as Atlas of Sea Countries and Records of Shaoshi Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Xiake, a geographer in Ming Dynasty, also contributed to the production of globes. He once said: "I aim high all my life in order to understand the mysteries of the universe, and this folk copy often goes wrong, so I do it myself." He once designed and made a globe by himself, which took many years before and after, and it was also one of the masterpieces of globe making in Ming Dynasty.

In a word, the knowledge about globes in Ming Dynasty is mainly found in geography and astronomy books and documents, among which Yongle Dadian, Atlas of the Sea and some works by Xu Xiake are all involved.
