Used in Ancient China as early as the Qin dynasty (221 BCE â 207 BCE) or before, Chinese compasses were invented for more than just helping people find their way when traveling. Compasses were originally developed for aligning buildings with directions (north, south, east or west), and as a tool used in fortune telling.
There is one major difference between the Ancient Chinese compass and the compasses of today â pointing to the south (Ancient Chinese) versus pointing to the north (todayâs compasses). It doesnât matter whether a lodestone pointing to the south is better or worse than a magnet pointing to the north.
