What is the difference between a compass and a compass?

To put it simply: compass = compass+dial (which can also be said to be the chassis of compass) In a narrow sense: the word compass originated in the pre-Qin period, and its structure is that the pointer (or other pointer) has a round disk on the dial. Different from the compass, it is just a one-way tool without scale and other information. Compass was originally used in metaphysics (geomantic omen) to indicate information such as scales and fiber hooks in different directions. Broadly speaking, any directional tool in real life can be called compass/compass, so it can also be regarded as the same directional tool. However, it should be noted that the compass in Feng Shui tools cannot be called a compass.

It is an indispensable tool for feng shui masters to engage in feng shui activities. A compass is different from a compass. The compass represents east, south, west, north, southeast, southwest, northwest and northeast. In addition to the Eight Palaces, there will be twenty-four directions to determine good or bad luck, each direction accounting for fifteen degrees on the water surface, which is called twenty-four mountains. They are A, Mao, B, Chen, Xun and Si; C, noon and d; No, Kun, Shen; Geng, You, Xin; Hey, fuck, and the sea; Ren, Zi, Gui; Ugly, gen, yin. The compass has three disks, heaven and earth, which are used for standing, discharging sand and receiving water respectively. The usage of each disc has certain principles and methods, and each disc has its own beauty. But there are sixty flowers in each dish, and among the twelve branches, fire, water, wood, gold and earth are all available. Although there is no mention of the theory of "magnetic field" in Feng Shui, the coordination of the direction, orientation and interval of the circle on the compass implies the law of "magnetic field". The invention and application of the compass is the result of human beings' continuous exploration of the mysteries of the universe, society and life. More and more circles and more complex pointer systems on the compass represent the accumulated practical experience of human beings. If you have a compass, you can find that the relative degrees of the compass and the pointer are as follows:
