Note One: This compass has been corrected according to "The Detailed Explanation of the Chinese Compass with 52 Layers" and integrates various Chinese geographical techniques.
Note Two: All errors in traditional compasses have been corrected. For example:
Pre-heaven Kun and Post-heaven Kan were historically placed at the magnetic needle's north. However, during the Yin-Zhou era, there was no magnetic needle, so they should be located at the north of the soil guiyi, which is now the sewing needle's north.
The upper, middle, and lower three yuan of San Yuan Geography were originally arranged on the ground plate (Jiang Pan). Since the three yuan describe celestial movement, they should be positioned at the north of the sun's shadow, which is the sewing needle's north...
Compasses manufactured since the Qing Dynasty contain many errors that have never been pointed out by anyone. This precisely demonstrates that "feng shui" practitioners do not understand the compass. If the directional annotations on the compass face are incorrect, can the practice of feng shui, as a form of divination, still claim accuracy or validity in its predictions?
Note Three: This compass has been verified by Li Dingxin from Yuchang Hall in Ganzhou, and his disciple, Wen Xiaofan, who manufactures compasses, has applied for a patent.
Note Four: The warranty period for this compass is one year. Any deviations occurring within the warranty period will be repaired free of charge (excluding damages caused by human error).
