Types of compasses
Because there are many schools of geomantic omen, there are differences between them, so their compasses are different, so compasses are divided into many types, such as ternary plate, triad plate, ternary plate and triad group. Among them, the ternary plate, also known as "Pan Jiang", contains innate gossip and the gossip the day after tomorrow, totaling 64 hexagrams. Three-in-one plate, also known as "Yang Gongpan", mainly has three floors and twenty-four mountain directions. Situational school mainly uses three boards, while rational school usually uses three boards. However, modern geomantic omen is mostly a combination of situation and qi, so comprehensive dishes are often used. Other common compasses are Kong Xuan Pan and unique compasses used by various schools, but no matter which school's compasses are, there must be a layer in the middle and the direction of the twenty-four mountains. Starting from the north, the order is: Renzi Gui, Ugly Root Yin, Jiamao B, IV, Ding, Shen, Geng Youxin and Xu Ganhai.
In terms of the origin of China compasses, Taiwan Province Province is the best, followed by Hongkong, and the mainland is even worse. If beginners don't have a compass for the time being, I suggest that you might as well buy a compass made in Chinese mainland to use first, and then you must buy a compass made in Taiwan Province Province when you have the opportunity. The compass made in Chinese mainland can't be compared with the compass made in Taiwan Province Province in terms of the rotating feel and accuracy of the magnetic needle, so it's best to find a compass with more accurate magnetic needle degree when buying a compass to check the accuracy of the magnetic needle or the 360-degree scale to see if there is any deviation in the magnetic needle degree when measuring objects with the same orientation.
