Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese practice of living in harmony with one\u2019s surroundings and maximizing the flow of energy.\u00a0 This compass, known as a luopan, would have been used to determine the precise directions of a place, structure, or item.\u00a0 Luopans typically contain markings for 24 directions with Feng Shui formulas set in concentric circles surrounding the center magnetic needle.\u00a0 This magnetic needle points to the south magnetic pole and the Chinese word for compass, zhinan zhen<\/i>, <\/b>translates to \u201csouth pointing needle.\u201d<\/p>\n
