What is a compass?

A compass is a compass.

Compass, also known as Feng Shui Compass, Compass, Luo Geng, Compass Classic, is a tool for Feng Shui detection, and also a common operating tool for managing style. The compass is mainly composed of a magnetic needle in the center of a disk and a series of concentric circles, each of which represents the ancient people in China's understanding of a certain level of information in the cosmic system.

The ancients in China believed that man's gas field was controlled by the gas field of the universe, that harmony between man and the universe was auspicious, and disharmony between man and the universe was fierce. So, by experience, they put all levels of information in the universe, such as the stars in the sky, everything represented by the five actions on the earth, heavenly stems and earthly branches and so on. , all on the compass. Geomantic omen is to find the most suitable position or time for a specific person or thing through the rotation of a magnetic needle.

Types of compasses

Because there are many schools of geomantic omen, there are differences between them, so their compasses are different, so compasses are divided into many types, such as ternary disk of ternary school, ternary disk of ternary school, ternary school and ternary dual-purpose disk of ternary school.

Among them, the ternary plate, also known as "Pan Jiang", contains innate gossip and the gossip the day after tomorrow, totaling 64 hexagrams. Three-in-one plate, also known as "Yang Gongpan", mainly has three floors and twenty-four mountain directions. Situational school mainly uses three boards, while rational school usually uses three boards. However, modern geomantic omen is mostly a combination of situation and qi, so comprehensive dishes are often used.

Other common compasses are Kong Xuan Pan and unique compasses used by various schools, but no matter which school's compasses are, there must be a layer in the middle and the direction of the twenty-four mountains. Starting from the north, the order is: Renzi Gui, Ugly Root Yin, Jiamao B, IV, Ding, Shen, Geng Youxin and Xu Ganhai.
