Compass Seat Direction Measurement: How to measure the seat direction of a house using a compass or compass (north) needle.

Before using the compass, there are a few points that need special attention:

1. You must remove all iron objects, electrical appliances (cell phones, Walkmans, etc.), or anything that will interfere with the magnetic field of the compass.

2. Make sure that there are no iron objects, cell phones, utility poles, power boxes, towers, etc., that can interfere with the electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the measurement site.

3. The surface of the compass or compass needle must be kept horizontal, and the pointer must not be raised or lowered on one side, and it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the joints between the compass surface and the disk body are tightly closed, and must not be loosened or cracked.

4, check the compass or compass (north) needle is normal, if there is a bend is not allowed to use.

I. The correct way to hold the compass:

Figure A

Hold the compass with both hands on the left and right sides, with feet slightly apart.

Place the compass between the chest and abdomen, keep the compass horizontal, not high left, right, or high back low.

Adjust the compass, the cross fish silk line above the compass, need to keep parallel with the house door (refer to Figure A).

Adjusting the direction of the pointer:

Figure B Tianchi

Figure C Adjusting the Tianchi

After fixing the position of the cross-hair line, you have to start adjusting the direction of the pointer inside the Tianchi.

Use the thumbs of both hands to move the inner disk, and as the disk rotates, the azimuth will rotate with it. Keep turning the inner disk until the magnetic needle comes to rest (Figure C) and overlaps the red line in the Tenchi.

Seat orientation method

Figure H Top view

Figure I Side view

In the description of the seat orientation of the house, it has been emphasized that the seat orientation method, that is, the person standing inside the house and facing the direction of the door, in this way, is the back for the seat, face to face for the direction.

Because the magnetic needles of compasses and compass needles are easily affected by electrical appliances and iron objects in the house, it is recommended that measurements be taken outside the house in an undisturbed place.

When measuring, it is recommended that the person faces the door of the house and looks towards the inside of the house as shown by the arrow, in order to adjust the compass so that it is parallel to the house, and then starts to rotate the inner disk to calibrate the magnetic needle; at this time, the face is the seat, and the back is the direction, that is, if the back is in the south, and the face is in the north, then it is the seat of the north towards the south, which is a little bit different from the way previously described, and requires special attention.

The way to hold and use a compass can be seen in Figure I. With the door of the house in front of you, keep the compass parallel to the house and adjust the pointer to the north (south) to get the house's seat direction and angle.

The scientific name of the compass is Luo Jing, created from the era of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, after generations of sages, according to the I Ching and the principle of River Luo, with reference to the sun, moon, five stars, seven political and celestial stars and constellations operating principles, and then observe the earth's mountains, rivers, plains, waves and undulating patterns, to correct and improve the manufacture of the used for the determination of the location and survey of the terrain, geomancy geomancers and seafarers are mostly referred to as "compass" or "Luo Pan!

Luogang" or "Luo Geng", rarely called "Luo Jing".

There are many types of compass, commonly used three yuan disk, triple disk, three yuan triple dual-use disk, easy disk, XuanKong disk and each school of the user's unique disk. But whether it is the door of that school of the compass, the middle must be a layer of twenty-four mountain orientation, from the north in order of sequence, respectively, is the non son of deca, ugly Burgundy c, a d b, cheng Xun Si, c wu ding, not Kun shen, geng you xin, hu dry ohai, etc., * * * twenty-four directions [the core of the compass in fact, is the compass, used to identify the orientation of the eight trigrams with the heavenly branches of the earth and earth combined together with a * * * 24 words engraved on the compass The periphery is the compass, the 24 words that is 12 heavenly stems + 8 Earthly Branches (e, except hex) + 4 trigrams (Qian, Kun, Burgundy, Xun), also known as the twenty-four mountains to]. If you have a compass, you can find the compass and pointer relative to the degrees are as follows:

The trigrams and the twenty-four seat to the comparison table

Direction trigrams twenty-four Hill angle

Twenty-four Hill's origin

The compass was initially only the north and south poles, and later joined the east and west to become the four major orientations (east, west, south, north), and then the successor in the east and west, south, north and south Add eight directions, into twelve directions, the formation of the earliest compass.

The twelve directions to the twelve earthly branches record, respectively, for the son, ugly, c, d, e, si, noon, not, shen, you, xu, huxu, ohai; by the twelve earthly branches on behalf of the earth's twelve directions, feng shui known as the twelve mountains.

Later the development of the compass, and in the original twelve directions, and then divided into twenty-four directions, the new addition to the twelve directions, eight of which are represented by the ten celestial stems: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, g, xin, non, dec, the other lack of four, by the trigrams in the Burgundy (Northeast), Xunzun (Southeast), Kunchen (Southwest), Qian (Northwest), performance, to become a compass on the twenty-four mountains! .

The twenty-four mountains are represented by eight trigrams, namely, Kan, Burgundy, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, Tui, Qian. (Refer to Figure F)

After clearing the direction of the twenty-four mountains, it is now time 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). Outside is a movable turntable with a copper face and black background with gold lettering, known as the inner or circular disk. The disk is piled up with words in a circle, and it is customary to call a circle a layer. One of the layers is the twenty-four directions, the outermost is a square disk body, called the outer disk or square disk. Plate body made of pear wood is the most durable, but the weight is heavier than the average wooden plate.

The outer disk has four small holes, respectively, there are two fish wire or glue line in the shape of a cross in the middle of the four holes, it is used to set the sitting direction.

The use of the compass is mainly the central magnetic needle, Tianchi outside the inner disk is made of steel, Tianchi bottom color is generally white, the bottom of the paddle has a red straight line, there is one end of the red line there are two red dots in the red line on the left and right, the red line is oriented to the north and south, there are red dots on the side of the sub-square (due north), the other end of the afternoon square (due south), the top of the magnetic needle is a very sensitive, magnetic needle has a small hole in the middle of the four sides. .

Before operating the compass, silently recite the "Lower Compass Tips" three times. The knack said: "the sky spinning earth spinning nine stars spinning, yin and Yang Shunyi show God, the five elements of the birth of grams in the position, tend to good luck to avoid bad luck down to the full".

When using the compass, hands divided into left and right holding the outer disk, feet slightly apart, the compass on the position between the chest and abdomen, to maintain a horizontal state of the compass, do not left high, right low, or high before and after low. Then with your back resting as sitting and facing as facing, start to stand the direction.

This time, the compass on the cross of the fish line should be with the house in front of, behind, left, right, the four positive position, if the cross line is not allowed to stand in the direction of, then, the measured direction of the sitting will be biased.

After fixing the position of the crosshairs, use the thumbs of both hands to move the inner disk, and when the inner disk is rotated, the tianchi will be rotated with it. Keep turning the inner disk until the magnetic needle comes to a standstill and overlaps the red line inside the Tenchi.

One very important point is that the end of the magnetic needle with the small hole must overlap with the two small red dots on the red line, and the positions must not fall off each other. At this point the fish wire line (which is the horizontal one) showing the direction of sitting intersects the layers of the inner disk. The various data and information we are looking for is shown on the area traversed and covered by this fish silk line.

However, there are more than ten or twenty layers on the compass, so which layer is the sitting direction? It is the layer of the twenty-four mountains.

It is near the Tianchi. The "mountain" on the fish wire direction side, we use it to indicate the direction, the "mountain" on the fish wire sitting side, we use it to indicate the sitting.

For example, if the mountain facing the direction is Zi, and the mountain sitting on it is Wu, we call it Sit Wu Xiang Zi.

When you know the direction of your house, place the compass in the center of the house and you can find the direction (or house) of the house from the direction of the sit.

Second, the compass "three plates and three needles" application

1, the ground - used to establish the direction - in the taiji point on the placement of the " Compass or compass" measured in all directions, yang house Tai Chi point in the house; Yin House Tai Chi point in the center of the top of the grave.

2, the human disk - used to eliminate sand - to see the peaks, buildings, trees, walls, mounds, towers, chimneys and so on.

3, the sky disk - for water - to see the water coming and going or the direction of the road. Such as water, rivers, coils, pools, wells, toilets (turbid water) fish farming (moving water), doors and windows (moving water), roads or flat land (false or fake water).

Three, gossip attributes of water law:

1, dry Burgundy, Kun Xun wood.

2, B Xin Ding Dec is earth.

3, Zi Wu Mao You A Geng C Nong is fire.

4, chenxu ugwei is gold.

5, Yin Shen Si Hai is water.

Four, gossip attributes:

1, wood and earth as wealth.

2, the water born of wood is noble.

3, wood see wood is strong.

4. Wood begets fire as leakage.

5. Gold is murderous when it attacks wood.

How to use:

Such as Kunshan Burgundy and not ugly, sitting in the Ding Wei to the Ding Clown gold, ascending hexagrams four lines, into the hexagrams "Lei Feng Heng Gua" to check the "Giant Gate Eight Bureau of the extraction of lines for the Elephant". Sitting on the mountain to rise four lines, into the "Lei Feng Heng Gua" check the categorical statement can be. Lei Feng Heng, Zhen eight wood, Xun two wood. This hexagram breaks: East Kitchen get position, two wood into the forest, fame and fortune. Prosperity of property, the eldest man and woman are matched with the right and smooth, children and grandchildren, brothers and fathers sub respect, wealth and prosperity, science and armor continuously. Note: This hexagram can be referred to (San He San Yuan Luo Jing Usage Book page 414, "Jiumen 8 Bureau of the extraction of lines for the image.

Fifth, the use of a compass

Learning Feng Shui, you must know the direction of the building, and now we will teach you to use a compass to measure the eight directions.

The small magnetic needle inside the compass, is pointing north and south, and in the bottom of the magnetic needle, printed with a straight line and E, S, W, N and other words.
