What is fengshui

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese tradition and metaphysical practice that seeks to alter the qi (energy) of individuals and families by arranging the placement and orientation of graves, residences, and other structures in relation to the surrounding landscape features such as mountains and bodies of water.

Historically, Feng Shui has been widely utilized to determine the positioning and orientation of graves, residences, and other significant structures including palaces, temples, academies, taverns, restaurants, inns, and shops. Feng Shui masters, based on the particular Feng Shui school they adhere to and local geographical features like mountain ranges and water bodies, use compasses to determine auspicious locations and orientations, and select auspicious dates for burials, construction commencements, or relocations.

How many theories in fengshui?

Feng Shui primarily consists of the practices of “xiang zhuzhai” (commonly known as Yang Zhai Feng Shui, focusing on residential Feng Shui) and “xiang mudi” (commonly known as Yin Zhai Feng Shui, focusing on burial site Feng Shui).

“Xiang zhuzhai” involves the selection of Feng Shui for residences or offices where people live or work. In addition to the structure itself, key considerations include the layout of streets and drainage systems outside the house, the positioning of the main entrance, interior spatial arrangement, placement of religious altars, location of the kitchen and stove, and seating arrangements in offices. Generally, buildings with three or more stories are considered for Feng Shui analysis. However, there are rare exceptions due to unique geographical factors, especially when it comes to the intricate Feng Shui principles related to burial sites. Residential Feng Shui concerns only the fortune of the household occupants.

“Xiang mudi” involves the selection of Feng Shui for burial sites of deceased relatives. Factors to consider include the direction of mountain ranges (dragon veins), the flow of water, the location and depth of graves, and the selection of auspicious dates based on the Chinese zodiac signs of the deceased and their descendants, celestial bodies, geological features, and other factors. Most of the secrets involved in selecting burial sites are passed down orally from master to disciple, and even within familial relationships, formal initiation is required before transmitting such knowledge. This is because the quality of the burial site’s Feng Shui can significantly influence the fortune and prosperity of an entire family lineage and its descendants. Only those who understand the intricacies of surveying burial sites are considered true Feng Shui masters, geomancers, or “earth masters.”

Does Fengshui a type of science?

No。

Feng Shui is regarded as a metaphysical practice rather than a science, which means it does not adhere to the standards of scientific falsifiability. Its core principles blend traditional beliefs with the philosophical concept of harmony between humans and nature. It aligns with nature, emphasizing the importance of harmony and balance between people and their environment. Feng Shui analysis is conducted based on people’s experiences with their surroundings, both natural and built environments, combined with principles from the Yi Jing (Book of Changes).

While scientific research aims to uncover the essence and laws of phenomena, Feng Shui focuses on the relationship between people and their environment. The difference lies in methodology and purpose. Feng Shui seeks to harmonize human interactions with the surrounding environment to enhance quality of life and well-being, whereas science emphasizes empirical research to reveal objective realities and natural laws.

As a result, attempting to solely use scientific methods to prove or disprove Feng Shui practices is challenging, as it involves different cognitive frameworks and value systems. The effectiveness of Feng Shui is typically based on personal beliefs and cultural traditions rather than scientific validation.

What is Fengshui Auditing

Feng Shui Auditing (surveying) is the process of observing and analyzing environmental elements such as terrain, topography, landscape, and buildings to determine the appropriate Feng Shui layout and arrangement. In Feng Shui surveying, professional Feng Shui practitioners typically use a compass and other tools, combined with their experience and knowledge, to assess the Feng Shui quality of a location and make recommendations to improve or optimize its Feng Shui configuration.

The primary purpose of Feng Shui surveying is to find suitable locations for living, working, or burial, and to determine the appropriate building orientation, layout, and design. This involves various factors such as the elevation of the terrain, the direction of water flow, the shape of surrounding mountains, and the orientation of buildings. Through Feng Shui surveying, people hope to create an environment that aligns with Feng Shui principles to enhance quality of life, health, and happiness.

Feng Shui surveying is commonly used to determine the suitability of locations for residences, commercial sites, burial grounds, and has a long history and wide application in East Asian cultures.

What is Fengshui Adjustment?

“Feng Shui adjustments” refer to the practices and techniques used to modify or enhance the Feng Shui of a particular environment. This may involve rearranging furniture, adding or removing objects, adjusting the layout of rooms or buildings, incorporating specific colors or elements, and other actions aimed at improving the flow of energy (qi) and creating a more harmonious environment according to Feng Shui principles. Feng Shui adjustments are often carried out with the goal of promoting prosperity, health, and overall well-being in a space.

What is Bazi？

“Bazi” is a term in ancient Chinese fortune-telling, also known as “Four Pillars of Destiny.” It is composed based on four elements of time: the year, month, day, and hour of a person’s birth, combined with heavenly stems and earthly branches. Each time element corresponds to a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, resulting in eight characters, hence the term “Bazi.”

Bazi is considered a symbol of a person’s destiny. Through analyzing Bazi, one can infer aspects of a person’s character, fortune, career, wealth, health, and other facets of life. In traditional Chinese culture, Bazi is widely used in the fields of fortune-telling, Feng Shui, divination, as well as in important decision-making and planning in personal life.
