What do you mean by south-southeast

"South by Southeast" is neither southeast nor due south. Judging from the ancient gossip in China, the southeast belongs to the sea melon side. South-southeast is the fourth square of Bagua 24 Mountain, namely 150 degrees, which belongs to "Zhang Yueji" among the 28 stars in the sky.

"How do you say south by southeast?" Use the ancient "Eight Diagrams and Twenty-four Mountains" in China! East-southeast is called "Chen" side; The south-southeast is called the "four" surface; South-southwest is called "Wei" side; West-southwest is called "Shen"; West-northwest is called "Xu" side; North-northwest is called "sea" surface; North-northeast is called "ugly" face; East-northeast is called "Yin" side.

As long as we use the ancient "Eight Diagrams and Twenty-four Mountains" in China, not only "south-southeast" is easy to talk about, but also any other corner!
