Introduction and Understanding of Chinese Compass: Luo Pan
We will be presenting to you the introduction and understanding of Chinese Compass, Luo Pan. Details of our project are as follows:

* How to appreciate a good Luo Pan?
* Interview with Master Huang, an amateur geomancer
==================================================
Reasons for choosing this topic
Luo Pan, the Chinese Compass, is a very important tool for geomancers. They need this to evaluate buildings and houses. We have always been fascinated how a luo pan functions and how it is used in evaluation. Assoc. Prof Helmer Aslaksen has provided us with an opportunity to explore into this.
==================================================
Research
We embarked on an intensive research by getting resources from libraries and the Internet. A list of references can be found here. We also managed to interview Master Huang, an amateur feng shui geomancer who has graciously helped us by explaining the luo pan.
