Introduction to Luopan Fengshui

The Chinese are very smart. They invented Feng Shui four thousand years ago and use it to guide our living and living. However, Feng Shui is accused of being "superstition" by more ignorant people, and people turn pale at the mention of "Feng Shui", which is really a pity. The compass, also known as Feng Shui compass, Luogeng, compass plate, etc., is an essential tool for measuring poles and directions in Feng Shui.
The main components include the Tianchi (also known as the compass), the Ten Heavenly Paths (a nylon rope with a red cross line mounted on the outer plate), the inner plate (a copper plate disc engraved with circles of gold letters on a black background, the entire disc can rotate back and forth, and one circle is usually called a layer. One of the layers is the direction of the twenty-four mountains), the outer plate (base), etc.
1. Tianchi: also called the seabed, which is also the compass. The compass's sky pool is composed of a thimble, a magnetic needle, a seabed line, a cylindrical outer box, and a glass cover, and is fixed in the center of the inner disk. There is a pointed thimble in the center of the bottom of the round box, and a concave hole in the center of the bottom of the magnetic needle, and the magnetic needle is placed on the thimble. The end of the compass with the arrow points to the south, and the other end points to the north. There is a red line drawn on the bottom surface (seabed) of Tianchi Lake, called the seabed line. There are two red dots on both sides of the north end. When using it, the north end of the magnetic needle should coincide with the seabed line. There is a cross line drawn on the seabed of a modern compass. When using it, the north end of the magnetic needle should point to the north end of the cross line on the seabed, and the magnetic needle should coincide with the north-south line on the seabed.
2. Inner disk: It is the rotating disk next to the outside of the compass. There are many concentric circles printed on the inner disk, and each circle is called a layer. Each layer is divided into different equal parts. Some layers have more grids, some have fewer grids. The least is only eight grids, and the layer with the most grids has 384 grids. Each grid has a different character printed on it.
From the shape of the compass, you can see that there is a circular Tianchi in the center of the compass (that is, the compass used for orientation). The outside is a movable turntable with a copper surface and black background with gold characters, called the inner plate or round plate. The plate is filled with words in circles, and usually one circle is called a layer. One of the layers is the twenty-four directions, and the outermost is a square plate, called the outer plate or square plate. The plate body is made of rosewood, which is the most durable, but it is heavier than ordinary wooden plates.
There are four small holes on the outer plate, and two fishing lines or rubber threads are passed through the small holes in the middle of the four sides in a cross shape. It is used to determine the orientation.
The compass is mainly used with the Zhongyang magnetic needle. The inner disk outside the Tianchi is made of steel. The background color of the Tianchi is generally white. There is a red straight line on the bottom. There are two red dots on one end on the left and right of the red line. The red line is positioned from north to south. The side with red dots is the Zi direction (due north), and the other end is the Wu direction (due south). There is a very sensitive magnetic needle on it, and there is a small hole at one end of the magnetic needle.
When using a compass, hold the outer disk with both hands on the left and right sides, separate your feet slightly, and place the compass between your chest and abdomen. Keep the compass level, not higher on the left and lower on the right, or higher in the front and lower in the back. Then, with your back as the sitting position and the front as the direction, start to set the direction.
At this time, the cross fish line on the compass should coincide with the four cardinal positions of directly in front, directly behind, directly left and directly right of the house. If the direction of the cross line is inaccurate, then the measured orientation will be deviant.
After fixing the position of the cross fish thread, 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 their positions cannot be interchanged. At this time, the fishing line (the horizontal one) of the sitting direction intersects with each layer of the inner plate. The various data and information we are looking for are displayed in the area that this fishing line passes through and covers.
However, there are more than ten or twenty layers on the compass, which layer is the correct orientation? It is the layer of twenty-four mountains. It is near Tianchi Lake. We use the "mountain" on the fishing line's upward direction to indicate direction, and the "mountain" on the fishing line's sitting direction to indicate sitting.
For example, if the facing mountain is Zi and the sitting mountain is Wu, we call it sitting at Wu and facing Zi. After knowing the orientation of your house, place the compass at the center of the house, and you can then determine the direction (or palace) of the entire house based on the orientation.
To learn how to use the Feng Shui compass, you also need to understand the following knowledge

2. Bagua attributes:

1. Wood overcomes earth and represents wealth.
2. Water gives birth to wood, which is precious.

2. Human plate - used to eliminate sand - look at mountains, buildings, trees, walls, piles, towers, chimneys, etc.
3. Sky plate - used to collect water - to see the coming and going of water or the direction of the road. Such as water, rivers, ditches, ponds, wells, toilets (turbid water), fish farming (moving water), doors and windows (moving water), roads or flat ground (virtual or fake water), etc.

4. Bagua attribute water method:

How to use a compass to measure the Feng Shui of a building

For example, if the mountain is Kun and the direction is Gen, and the combination is Wei and Chou, and the sitting position is Ding Wei and the direction is Ding Chou, the four lines of the Sheng hexagram will become the "Thunder and Wind Heng hexagram". Check "Ju Men Ba Ju Draws Lines and Changes Images". The fourth line of the Zuoshan Sheng Gua becomes the "Thunder and Wind Heng Gua" and you can check the judgment. Thunder and wind are constant, Zhen is eight woods, and Xun is two woods. This hexagram interprets: the east kitchen is in a good position, two trees form a forest, and there will be fame and fortune. The land is prosperous, the eldest son and daughter have harmonious wives, the sons are noble and the grandchildren are virtuous, the brothers and father are respectful, the country has both wealth and honor, and the imperial examinations are passed continuously.

Compass changes home fortune

1. If there are conflicts inside or outside the house, or the layout is poor, and the house is in a very bad condition, and conditions do not allow for relocation, you can use a compass to change the bad luck of the house and turn it into good luck.
2. The compass can not only ward off evil, but also change the fortune of the house (to increase wealth), so it is said to kill two birds with one stone.
3. How to change your home luck with the compass:
A. No size limit.
B. The compass must be properly consecrated.
C. Choose an auspicious day and place it in the Fude position of the living room, not necessarily facing the main door.
D. If someone in the family passes away, do not place the compass there, lest the soul fear to return home. You can place the compass there after (a) year.
E. The way to increase wealth is to place the compass in the wealth position of the living room. It is far more effective than a crystal ball.
F. If you want to place it inside the incense burner of the God of Land, buy a small compass and add incense ash. If you want to place it under the statue of the deity, buy a larger compass.
G. The God of Land is a deity of the earth. The small compass should be placed in the incense burner, and the compass should be adjusted so that the front points to the north and the back points to the south. The statue of the deity is a deity of the sky. The compass below should be adjusted so that the front points to the south and the back points to the north.
H. If children are frightened and cry in the middle of the night, you can place a compass on the door lintel to dispel unclean things.
I. Placing a compass in the car can also ensure safe driving.
