The Liu Ren Plate is an ancient divination instrument, first developed during the Han dynasty. It was used to divine the auspiciousness of time and direction, and played a crucial role in the evolution of geomantic compasses used in Feng Shui. The plate comprises two overlapping disks: a circular upper disk, symbolizing Heaven, and a square lower disk, symbolizing Earth—embodying the ancient concept of Heaven is round, Earth is square.
