If you are planning on practicing Feng Shui, it is a good idea to commit the 24 mountains to memory. Learning the 24 Mountains is the first step towards being able to read the Chinese Luo Pan.
I was told that there's two ways in which you can memorize the chart above:
Short Way: Copy the Chinese character of each 24 Mountains into cue cards and memorize at least one character a day.
Ideal Way: Practice writing each character 100 times. By the time you finish your 100th, you would have learnt to recognize them. |

This is not a very clear picture but you can clearly see the 8 Trigrams representing 8 directions. Multiplied by 3 sectors within each direction
All the black sectors are YIN and white sectors are YANG on the 24 Mountains' ring. See table below: |
