This fengshui illustration depicts a village renowned for its location on an auspicious site. In the illustration, the village is divided into three areas according to the colors of the soil, with the geographical features of its surrounding mountains. Each area of the village is marked with its frontage with some with their matching constellations of the Twenty-eight Mansions. The illustration also contains comments left by some famous practitioners of fengshui, including Doseon. Experts conjecture that the illustration was made during the first half of the 20th century.
