How to read the San He and San Yuan lo p'an, with an explanation of each ring in detail, the history and background of feng shui and the lo p'an (luo pan). This book is packed with detailed information which is very clearly explained, so that after reading it anyone should be comfortable using even the most complex lo p'an. The book is the result of 30 years of research and practice. Over 50 rings are illustrated, tabulated, and classified by Plate and School, with their use and history. Anyone reading the book can go from being a complete novice to complete familiarity with any lo p'an, ancient or modern that they may pick up. It clearly explains for the first time in English how feng shui developed and the relationship between the San He and San Yuan Schools. There are over 65 tables, 174+ illustrations, and 32 full colour plates. These include rare pictures and analyses of Ming and Ch'ing dynasty lo p'ans. Every technical term, book title, or person's name, is carefully footnoted in traditional Chinese characters with supporting pinyin and Wade-Giles transliterations. There is a also a detailed feng shui history time-line.
