XUANJI

In Chinese it literally means "rotating instrument of first-class jade" and is the term used to define a particular jade disk used together with a specific observation tube also of the same material; these two objects constitute what we can call "astronomical jades", that is, jade instruments used in ancient China for celestial observations.
