The compass is an important tool for Feng Shui operations, and its basic function is orientation. When we understand the knowledge of Feng Shui and Qi regulation, we must first learn the basic method of compass orientation.
The scientific name of the compass is Luo Jing. It was created in the time of Emperor Xuanyuan. Later, the sages of the past dynasties used the principles of the Book of Changes and Heluo to observe the mountains and rivers on the earth based on the principles of the sun, moon, five stars, seven political affairs and celestial phenomena. 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".
Speaking of how to use the compass, if it were discussed in detail, I believe it would take a lot of space. Because it includes so many things, this article will only talk about simple usage methods.
There are many types of compasses. The commonly used compasses are three-yuan compass, three-in-one compass, three-yuan three-in-one dual-purpose compass, Yi compass, Xuankong compass and the unique compass of each school user. But no matter which sect's compass it is, there must be a layer in the middle with the directions of the twenty-four mountains. Starting from the north, they are Renzigui, Chougenyin, Jiamaoyi, Chenxunsi, Bingwuding, Wei Kunshen, Gengyouxin, Xuqianhai and so on. ***Twenty-four directions. If you have a compass, you can find that the relative degrees between the compass and the pointer are as follows:

After knowing the direction of the Twenty-Four Mountains, now we need to look at the shape of the compass.
From the shape of the compass, you can see that in the center of the compass is a circular Tianchi (i.e., a compass for orientation). On the outside is a movable turntable with gold characters on a black background and a copper surface, which is called the inner disk or disc. The plate is filled with words in circles. It is customary to call a circle a layer. There is one layer with twenty-four directions, and the outermost is a square plate, called the outer plate or square plate. The disc body is made of rosewood, which is the most durable, but is heavier than ordinary wooden discs.
The outer plate has four small holes, and two fish wires or glue threads are passed through the small holes in the middle of the four sides in a cross shape. They are used to determine the sitting direction.
The main compass used is the Zhongyang magnetic needle. The inner disk outside Tianchi is made of steel. The background color of Tianchi is usually white, with a red straight line drawn at the bottom and two red dots on one end of the red line. To the left and right of , the red line is positioned in north and south directions. The side with the red dot is Zifang (due north), and the other end is Wufang (due south). There is a very sensitive magnetic needle on it. There is a small hole at one end of the magnetic needle. .
When using the compass, hold the outer disk with both hands on the left and right, with your feet slightly apart. Place the compass between the chest and abdomen. Keep the compass horizontal. Do not raise the left side higher than the right lower, or the front higher than the back. Low. Then sit with your back* as your face, and start standing upright.
At this time, the cross lines on the compass should coincide with the four correct positions of the front, back, left, and right of the house. If the cross lines are not in the correct direction, then the measured There will be deviation in the sitting direction.
After fixing the position of the cross fish wire, use the thumbs of both hands to move the inner disk. When the inner disk rotates, the Tianchi will rotate accordingly. Keep rotating the inner disk until the magnetic needle stops and overlaps with the red line in Tianchi.
One thing is very important, that is, the end of the magnetic needle with the small hole must coincide with the two small red dots on the red line, and the positions cannot be offset from each other. At this time, it shows that the fish silk line in the sitting direction (the horizontal one) intersects with each layer of the inner disk. The various data and information we are looking for are displayed on the area traversed and covered by this fish line.
However, there are more than ten or twenty levels on the compass. Which level should you sit on? It's the level of Mount Twenty-Four. It is near Tianchi. We use the "mountain" on the direction of the fishing line to indicate direction, and the "mountain" on the side of the fishing line to sit on, we use it to indicate sitting.
For example, facing the mountain is Zi, and sitting on the mountain is Wu, so we call it sitting at Wu and facing Zi. Once you know where you are sitting in your house and put the compass at the center of the house, you can find the direction (or palace position) of the house from the direction you are sitting.
2. The application of the "three disks and three needles" of the compass

How to use:
For example, Kunshan Gen Xiang Jian Weichou, Sitting Ding Wei Xiang Ding Chou divides the gold, ascends the four lines of the hexagram, and turns it into the hexagram "Leifeng Heng Gua" "The eight games of the giant gate are drawn and the symbols are changed." Just sit on the mountain and raise the four lines of the hexagram to become the "Lei Feng Heng hexagram" to check the word. Lei Fengheng, Zhen Yamu, Xun Ermu. This hexagram predicts: Dongchu will be in position, two trees will form a forest, and he will gain fame and wealth. The land is prosperous, the eldest son and the eldest daughter are well-matched and obedient, the sons are noble, the virtuous are the grandchildren, the brothers and fathers share the respect, both wealth and honor are achieved, and the academic achievements are continuous. Note: This hexagram can be found in (The Encyclopedia of Usage of the Three-in-one Three-Yuan Compass, page 414 of "The Eight Bureaus of the Giant Gate Extracting Yao and Changing Images". The compass is one of the essential measuring tools for Feng Shui masters. There is no way to put anything in a room or to measure yourself. How to help? First of all, it is inseparable from the layout of your room and the mutual restraint of the five elements. Only by combining your own numerology can you achieve the best effect. You can change your luck just by placing the compass, so there is no need for a Feng Shui master to lower the hanging thread. When it comes to building a house, there is no need to ask a Feng Shui master to look at the layout of the room.
I am just correcting your point here. As for the position of your compass, I don’t think it is necessary to ask. You didn’t say hello, so no one is willing to answer for you
