Li Xiang Bearing Workflow (立向 / 坐向讀數)
This module turns compass measurement into a repeatable academy workflow. A Feng Shui chart is only as reliable as the facing degree used to build it. Students therefore learn to record the measured bearing, the sitting-facing mountain pair, the 24-mountain sector, the 120 Fenjin slice, any substitute-line status, and the evidence used to decide which facade or door is the facing.
Measurement Discipline
- Identify the practical facing from form, main approach, light, road, door use, and building design before reading numbers.
- Take multiple Luopan or compass readings away from metal, vehicles, wiring, and magnetic disturbance, then record the spread rather than a single forced value.
- Keep magnetic and true-north bearings distinct. A Luopan or magnetic compass reads local magnetic direction; map or GIS bearings usually use true north, so the local declination model must be documented when converting.
- Resolve the result into sitting, facing, seam distance, 兼向 status, 空亡 warnings, and chart-ready input.
The professional standard is traceability. If two readings produce different Xuan Kong or San He outcomes, the report should expose the uncertainty instead of hiding it behind a rounded direction.
