The 24 Mountains in Chinese Metaphysics, is one of the key fundamentals in Feng Shui. The usage and understanding stems from the art of time and date selection for any major activities, the Bazi (one’s date of birth) compatibility, the Kua number analysis, the Feng Shui of house or a commercial building, and also for burial purposes.
That is why, most Feng Shui Masters will have a Luo Pan when they visit your house to look at the directions of your house, and then draw the precise and accurate analysis based on the sitting and facing of your house or building.
It might look complicated especially for non-Chinese readers, but the truth is most Chinese readers don’t even know what the Lou Pan is showing. The Chinese readers might know how to read the words, but it takes a Feng Shui Master or a Feng Shui Practitioner to be able to fully grasp the concept and understanding of a Luo Pan.
