Hi everyone~I am back again



this time I bring a new chinese spring festival skin for wrecking ball called "celestial ball",this skin is inspired by ancient chinese astronomical instrument called "armillary spere" and "celestial globe"



Celestial globe is also known as Hun Tian Yi or Hun Xiang in antiquity.Zhang Heng(A.D. 78-139) of the Eastern Han Dynasty(A.D 25-220),Wang Fan (A.D 250) of the Three Kingdoms(A.D. 222-280),and Qian Le-zhi(A.D. 440) of the Liu Song Period(A.D. 420-479),all the three scholars had built a similar instrument,which was aimed to show the location of the stars and constellations,and to demonstrate the daily motion of celestial bodies.



Armillary Sphere is a principal instrument for determining positions of celestial bodies in ancient China.This instrument was made in 1437(Ming Dynasty).It consists of three nests of rings,from which the equatorial,ecliptic and horizontal coordinates of celestial bodies could be measured.Armillary shpere was taken to Berlin by German troops when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing in 1900,then returned to China in 1920



the skin is inspired by this to instrument,the pattern was inspired by the Dragon pattern on the pillar of Armillary Sphere and also by the animal call 'AO(one of the 9-sons of Dragon in Chinese myth)'.The color scheme come from Chines Forbidden city:red wall golden roof and the yellow,green,blue strip



Hopes you guys like this skin,thank you
