Description	Extant written records indicate that knowledge of an ancient type of compass in China is very old - dating back to before the Han dynasty to at least the 4th century BC. Geomancy was practised for a long time and had a profound influence on the face of China's landscape and city plans. The tombs (pyramids) near the former Chinese capital citis of Xi'an and Luoyang show strong spatial orientations, sometimes along a basic South-North axis but usually with deviations of several degrees to the East or West. The use of the compass means that the needle was directed towards the actual magnetic pole at the time of construction, or last recontruction, of the respective tomb. However the magnetic pole, relative to the nearly %22fixed%22 geographic pole, shifts significantly over time.
