The
baguamirror is a round mirror that is
surrounded or accompanied by a
trigram. In
China,
these
are placed over doors as a protective charm, to bring luck or ward off evil
spirits.
Though the
Chinese
custom of using bagua
door mirrors is
related to
feng shui,
it is also reminiscent of the
now rather old-fashioned
practice
of
using
door mirrors in adjacent India (fig.).
