The compass is mainly composed of a magnetic needle located in the center of the disk and a series of concentric circles.

First of all, to understand the compass you must understand the theory of Feng Shui. The compass is just a tool used to identify Feng Shui. Most of the compasses published on the market now are comprehensive compasses, which contain the necessary data of various Feng Shui schools.

The compass structure is roughly divided into:

There are generally celestial plates, earthly plates, and human plates, the innate eight trigrams, the acquired eight trigrams, the twenty-four mountain directions, the sixty-four trigrams,
Tianchi Lake, scientifically known as Tianchi, actually means compass. The basic usage condition of a compass is to distinguish the east as wood, the south as fire, the west as metal, and the north as water according to the guiding characteristics of the magnetic needle, and divide them into the Eight Trigrams: Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun, and then the twenty-four directions: Kan Palace Ren Zi Gui, Li Palace Bing Wu Ding, Zhen Palace Jia Mao Yi, Dui Palace Geng You Xin, Gen Palace Chou Gen Yin, Kun Palace Wei Kun Shen, Xun Palace Chen Xun Si, and Gan Palace Xu Gan Hai.
Inner disk (the data core of the compass is here)
It is the rotating disk next to the outside of the compass. There are many concentric circles printed on the inner disk, and each circle is called a layer. Each layer is divided into different equal parts. Some layers have more grids, some have fewer grids. The least is only eight grids, and the layer with the most grids has 384 grids. Each grid has a different character printed on it. There are many types of compasses, some have more layers, some have fewer. The most has fifty-two layers, the least has only five layers, and some have twenty-eight layers.
The various contents of the compass are engraved on different circles (layers) of the inner disk, which is the main component of the compass. Each school of Feng Shui includes its main contents on the compass. The many functions of the compass have become an indispensable tool for many Yi studies practitioners and enthusiasts.
External disk (compass positioning and compass tray)
A circular compass does not have an outer plate, while a generally three-element compass must have an outer plate for orientation. The outer plate is square and serves as the tray for the inner plate. There is a small hole at the midpoint of the outer side of each of the four sides. A red line is inserted into it to form the Ten Lines of the Center of Heaven, which is used to read the contents on the inner plate. The ten lines of the celestial center are required to be perpendicular to each other. A newly purchased compass must be calibrated with its outer disk before use. The combination of the outer disk and the inner disk should be flexible but not too slippery.
