Han Dynasty Chinese Compass

Han Dynasty Chinese Compass


This is a modern replica of the oldest instrument
 in the world which is known to be a compass. The
 spoon or ladle is of magnetic lodestone, and is
supposed to be a symbolic representation of the
 Great Bear. The handle of the ladle points towards
the South.

The base plate is made of bronze. The circular
 centre represents Heaven, and the square part
represents Earth. There are Chinese characters
 representing the eight main directions of north,
 north-east, east, etc. There are also separately
 marked the 24 points of the compass, and along the
 outer edge the 28 lunar mansions.

Although the compass does point towards the South
reasonably accurately, this type of instrument was
 not used for navigation, rather it was employed in
 geomancy. This ancient technique was used for
aligning houses and cities harmoniously with the
 breaths and currents of the Earth's forces, which
were partly detected with the aid of the compass.

The original Han Dynasty Chinese Compasses date from
the Fourth Century BC.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack,
without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who

 Begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing conscious.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very

vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, the cough must

be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up

until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze
the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the
heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack
victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this.

It could save their lives.........

Don't ever think that you are not prone to heart attack if your age is less than 25 or 30.

Nowadays due to the change in the life style, heart attack is found among people of all age groups.
