Calculate Compass Feng Fortune Telling Fong Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a traditional Feng-Shui Fong-Choei compass, a vital tool used by Chinese geomancers in the early 20th century. The year is 1912, and the compass, with its intricate design and delicate details, is poised to help its users calculate the most propitious locations for buildings and other structures. Feng-Shui, an ancient Chinese practice, is based on the belief that the arrangement and orientation of spaces can influence the flow of energy, or "chi," and thus impact the fortune and well-being of those who inhabit them. The Fong-Choei compass is a crucial instrument in this practice, allowing geomancers to analyze the terrain and the layout of a site to determine the best placement for buildings and other features. The compass, with its distinctive circular design, features a series of concentric rings and a movable pointer. The outer ring represents the compass's eight trigrams, which represent the eight fundamental forces of the universe. The inner ring, with its delicate divisions, represents the compass's 24 mountains, which represent the various directions and their associated energies. As the geomancer moves the compass over the terrain, the pointer aligns with the direction of the most auspicious energy flow, providing valuable insights into the best location for a building or structure. The practice of Feng-Shui continues to be popular in Chinese culture and beyond, with the Fong-Choei compass remaining a cherished and intriguing relic of this ancient tradition.
