Abstract From the early Ming to the early Qing, traditional Chinese astronomical instruments and Europeanized instruments made by the Jesuits were installed on the terrace of the Beijing Ancient Observatory. In the 1870s to 1880s, these two types of instruments with different characteristics were still at the Ancient Observatory, and some Europeans examined their history from different focus points, forming different impressions of the Ancient Observatory. These double impressions were reflected in books, journals and the Paris Exposition Universelle of 1889, which had world-wide impact.
