ĦĦĦĦChinese have invented Sinan-- a tool used to guide direction with the aid of magnet-- since 2300 years ago. Ħ°SinanĦħ means pointing south.
ĦĦ The shape of Sinan is totally different from the current compass. It is like a soup ladle nowadays. Sinan is the first Ħ°compassĦħ in the world. It was not in service for Arab and Europe until the end of 1100s. We offer the handmade compass relief in a proportion of 1:1 to the unearthed relics of Han Dynasty (14 cm * 14 cm), the scaledown of handmade compass relief (10.5 cm * 10.5 cm) and the brass compass or copper compass made by modern technology and with scripts and signs of Yi Jing carved in it.
ĦĦ
The signs of Yi Jing, such as Gua and Yao are carved in the compass of Sinan. Yi Jing, also Book of Change, is regarded as the lead of the six Classics by each generation of Confucianists.

In order to meet the requirements from different persons and to take Ħ°SinanĦħ, one of the four great inventions of ancient China, to serve as a cultural messenger to communicate with the world, the company has made Ħ°SinanĦħ of various specifications and shapes.
