    1. Always refer to the map and compass, and actively observe the surrounding terrain and the plants around you to determine the correct location.

    2. Take advantage of the sun.

    In winter, the sunrise position is south-east and the sunset position is south-west; In summer, the sunrise position is north-east and the sunset position is north-west; Around the spring and autumn equinoxes, sunrise is due east and sunset is due west.

    As long as there is the sun, you can use the watch to discern the direction. Read the moment in 24-hour format and divide the number of hours by two to get one hour. Place the watch horizontally on your hand or on the ground, so that the watch is aligned with the direction of the sun at this moment, and the direction of the watch at 12 o'clock is north, and the direction at 6 o'clock is south.

    Immediately, a pole is erected vertically on the ground, the shadow points northwest in the morning, and the shadow points northeast in the afternoon, and the shadow is shortest at noon, when the shadow points due north.

    3. Use the stars.

    Aim for the North Star. First of all, find the spoon-shaped Big Dipper, and extend the interval between the two stars on the spoon C by 5 times, and then you can find the North Star in this straight line, and the direction of the North Star is due north.

    4. Use the ground features to judge the direction.

    Large, free-standing trees usually have dense foliage and smooth bark on the south side, and sparse branches and rough bark on the north side. The south side is usually grassy, and the north side is moist and mossy.

    For buildings and mounds, snow melts slowly in the north, while in depressions such as earth pits, the opposite is true.

    The doors and windows of the larger temples in northern China, the main entrance of the pagoda and the independent houses in the countryside are mostly open to the south.

    The northern edge of the forest glade is more grassy. The annual rings of the stump section are generally spaced at a large interval in the south and a small interval in the north.

    In the grasslands of northern China, there are many northwest winds in desert areas, and many snow dragons and salons are often formed near the grass, with large heads and small tails, and the direction of the head is northwest.

    The doors of the yurts on the steppe are mostly open to the south. The sparse foliage side is south and the dense side is north.

    The stump has a dense growth ring, and the side is north.

    Put the pin in a puddle with grease and point to the north.

    1.The sunny side (i.e., south-facing) of a single tree is dense, while the shady side (i.e., north-facing) is sparse.

    2.In dense forests, the south side of the rock is drier, while the north side of the rock is wetter and mossy.

    3.Peach and pine trees secrete gum in the south.

    4.The rings of the stump are sparse in the south-facing half and denser in the north-facing half.

    5.The parts that are difficult for the volume of snow to melt, such as ravines or rocks, are always in the north-facing direction.

    6.The ant's burrow is mostly south of the tree, and the hole mouth faces south.

    7.Some natural villages are generally concentrated on the south side of the mountain, and most of the gates open to the south. Generally, ancient temples, ancient pagodas, ancestral halls and other buildings are located in the north and facing south.

    8.If you can see the stars in the night sky, as long as you find the Big Dipper, you can find the bright North Star along the extension line of the "spoon handle", and the direction of the North Star is due north.

    The easiest way to do this is to use stars.

    1. Look for the North Star: The constellation Ursa Major consists of seven stars arranged in a spoon shape, and two stars at the end of the spoon extend forward, that is, the North Star, that is, the north.

    2. Observe plants: the color of bamboo stems is greener to the south; The bamboo stems face north and are yellowish in color.

    3. Shadow observation method: find a small wooden rod to stand on the watch**, rotate the watch angle, so that the small rod overlaps with the hour hand, and the middle equinox of the angle formed by the hour hand and several points is the north, and the other end is the south. In addition, you can make marks along the road to make it easier to return the way you came, and you can carry a strip of red cloth with you, tie it to a tree or stack it with a stone.

    4. Identification of the direction of the annual rings: find a tree stump in the forest and identify the direction according to its annual rings, because its annual rings are always wide in the south and narrow in the north; It is also possible to observe a free-standing tree with lush foliage on the south side and sparse on the north side.

    5. On a clear day, you can easily know the east and west according to the sunrise and sunset.

    Ha ha. I think this still depends on the method taught by Bei Ye. After all, that's looking at tree rings or something.

    It's still more difficult. It's best to look at your watch to find the direction. The hour is half a pair of suns, and 12 refers to the north.

    It is to divide the current time of your watch by 2, then find the corresponding position of the quotient on the dial, and then point this number at the sun, and the direction of the "12" point on the dial is north.

    How do you get back your way after you get lost? 1. Refer to the map and compass. 2. Take advantage of the sun. 3. Use the stars. 4. Use plants and natural phenomena to determine the direction.

    1. Take advantage of the sun.

    In the northern hemisphere of the earth, if it is morning or evening when you get lost, you can identify the direction according to the method of "sunrise in the east and sunset in the west".

    2. Use trees.

    A tree stump can be found in the forest, which is oriented according to its rings, which are always wide to the south and narrow to the north.

    3. On rainy days, leaning on big trees.

    The thickness of the branches and leaves of the tree is related to the length and amount of sunlight exposure. The leafy side of the tree is much more exposed to the sun's rays, so it is on the south side; The northern half of the canopy is shaded by the southern half, which naturally affects the exposure of sunlight, so the leaves grow thinner.

    Fourth, use the snow.

    In winter, the snow that is difficult to melt due to sunlight always faces north. The speed at which snow melts is related to the temperature at the surface. The leeward side of the lighted side has long sun exposure and high temperatures, and the snow melts quickly; On the shady side, the sun doesn't shine, the temperature is low, and the snow melts slowly.

    Ditches, embankments, slopes, and posts are all divided into yin and yang. Therefore, the amount of snow on the slope of the ditch in winter can be judged from the direction of north and south.

    5. Use of rivers.

    China's great rivers generally flow from west to east, and their direction can generally be determined.

    1. Use the sun to distinguish, immediate results, as we all know, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the direction of the shadow of the object in the morning is west, at 12 o'clock, the sun is due south, the shadow points to the north, in the afternoon, the sun is due west, the shadow points to the east.

    2. With the moon, the rise and fall of the moon is regular. The moon rises at a time of 48-50 minutes later than the day before. For example, at 18 o'clock on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon rises in the east.

    On the twentieth day of the lunar calendar, five days apart, it rose about 4 hours late, and appeared in the eastern sky at about 22 o'clock. The change of the moon's "round and absence" moon phase is also regular. Before the fifteenth lunar month, the light part of the moon is on the right, and after the fifteenth day, the light part of the moon is on the left.

    The first half of the month is the "first quarter moon", the middle of the month is called the "full moon", and the second half of the moon is called the "last quarter moon". Every month, the moon rises and sets according to the above two laws.

    3. The direction in which Polaris is located is due north.

    4. Look at the constellation Ursa Major (i.e., the Big Dipper), like a huge spoon, it is easy to find in the clear night sky, from the direction of the extension line of the two stars on the side of the spoon, about 5 times apart, there is a brighter star is the North Star, that is, due north.

    5. If there are a lot of rocks, find a rock, the side with a lot of moss is north, and the dry and bare side is south.

    6. Use the watch in your hand to calculate and identify: divide the current time by 2, align the obtained quotient with the sun, and the direction pointed by 12 on the dial is north.

    7. Take a tree as an example: the one with lush foliage is south, and the sparse side is north.

    8. The entrance of the ant's hole is generally oriented south.

    9. Most of the general housing is located in the north and faces south. The doors of Islamic mosques face east, and worshippers face west.

    10. Watch the snow melt, in spring, the first melting side faces south, and the second melting side faces north. The pits and depressions are facing the sun and the snow melts earlier in the north. Most of the rivers in the northern tundra are gentle on the north bank and steep on the south bank.

    If you're lost in the wilderness, don't worry, nature can show you the way. The southern side of the independent tree is densely foliage, while the northern side is sparse; The north side of the rock is covered with moss, while the south side is dry and bare; The parts where the snow is difficult to dissolve are always facing north; The entrance of the ant cave faces south; Seeing buildings such as houses or small mounds of moss, there is often moss on the north side. If you see a tree stump, look at the profile, and the rings are sparse on the south side.

    On a starry night, look sideways at the spoon-like Big Dipper and follow the "spoon handle" to see the bright North Star indicating the direction from south to north.

    Method 1: You can find a tree stump to observe, and the width of the growth rings is south;

    Method 2: Find a tree with lush foliage on the south side and sparse on the north side;

    Method 3: Observe the ant's burrow, most of the cave entrances are facing south;

    Method 4: In a place with many rocks, you can also find an eye-catching rock to observe, the mossy side of the rock is the north side, and the dry and bare side is the south side;

    Method 5: You can also use the watch to identify the direction: divide the time you are in by 2, and then point the resulting quotient to the sun, and the direction pointed by 12 on the dial is north.

    Judging by the foliage of the trees, the foliage on the south side is generally more lush.

    Judging by the sun, which rises in the east and sets in the west.

    Judge by the compass that comes with your phone.

    The direction is determined by the watch, the hour is half a pair of the sun, 12 refers to the north, and the time is 24 hours. For example, at two o'clock in the afternoon, that is, 14 o'clock, divided by two is 7, and the watch is aimed at the sun at seven o'clock, and the direction of 12 o'clock refers to the north.

    The first type of "compass" is the sun.

    We live in the Northern Hemisphere, and except for areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun's rays always come from the south. In this way, the north-south direction is easily determined. We all know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the sun rises in the east in the morning, the direction is west when it sets in the evening, and the sun is in our south at noon.

    However, you should not apply this method dogmatically, especially if you are in the southern hemisphere or between the Tropic of Capricorn.

    The second type of "compass" is the moon.

    The crescent moon on the third and fourth days of the first month, low in the western sky at sunset; On the seventh and eighth half moons of the first month, when the sun just went down, it was above our heads. At the middle of the moon, as soon as the sun goes down, the moon rises in the east.

    The direction of the moon at night is: first quarter moon, 6 p.m. in the south, and 12 p.m. in the west. Full Moon (14th to 18th), 6 p.m. in the east, 12 p.m. in the south, and 6 a.m. in the west the next morning.

    At the end of the quarter, at 12 o'clock in the east at night, and at 6 o'clock in the south the next morning.

    The third type of "compass" is the North Star.

    The North Star is the best compass, and the direction of the North Star is due north.

    But how do you find the North Star? In fact, as long as you find the familiar Big Dipper, it is easy. The Big Dipper is like a water spoon, and the two stars on the side of the water spoon are about five times the same as the two stars, and there is a brighter star, which is the North Star.

    Opposite the North Star, there is also a constellation Cassiopeia, shaped like the English letter W, which can also help us find the North Star.

    Around 8 o'clock in the evening, if you can find Polaris with the constellation Ursa Major from February to August, and from December to January, it is better to rely on Cassiopeia.

    The fourth type of "compass" is trees.

    This method is also very easy. For example, north of the Tropic of Capricorn, the sunlight comes from the south, and the trees from the south get more heat from the sun than from the north, so the branches of the trees that grow independently are more lush and thicker to the south, while the branches to the north are sparse and weaker.

    It can also be judged from the annual rings. The wide rings face south, and the dense ones face north. Because the south grows faster than the north, the interval between the rings is wider.

    The fifth type of "compass" is snow.

    Again, take the example of the northern hemisphere in which we are located. The snow on the southern slopes is tighter and granular. The snow on the northern slopes is softer and drier.

    The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Polaris. Look at the stump. The sunny side of the growth rings, that is, the south. If there is snow, the mountain.

    The snow melts quickly on the sunny side, that is, in the southern part of the mountain, and the trees are lush on the sunny side. If you have a watch, say it's 9 a.m., and you aim the hour at the sun, and the bisector of the angle between the hour and minute hands is south.
