The scientific name of the compass is Luo Jing. It was created in the time of Emperor Xuanyuan. Later, through the sages of the past dynasties, according to the principles of the Book of Changes and Heluo, the sun, the moon, the five stars, the seven political affairs and the principles of the movement of the astronomical stars were used to observe the mountains and rivers on the earth. Rivers and plains are made by modifying and improving the undulating shape of the waves. They are used to determine the direction and survey the terrain. Most of them are called "Compass" or "Luogeng" by Kanyu geographers and sailors, and rarely called "Compass".
