Feng Shui: The Ancient Science For Good Fortunes
Feng shui, a Chinese name whose meaning is ‘wind water’, is one of the Five Arts
of Chinese Metaphysics and is classified as physiognomy. Physiognomy is the
observation of appearances through formulas and calculations. It is a philosophical
system of associating people with the surrounding environment.
The history of feng shui is 3,500+ years old. It was in practice before the invention
of magnetic compass. The magnetic compass was originated in Chinese astronomy
indeed. Its astronomical history has a crucial role in the development of
instruments and techniques. Liuren astrolabes, magnetic compass and feng shui
ruler are the examples of instruments derived from its theory.
The foundation theory consists of Qi (chi), Polarity and Bagua (eight trigrams).
Chi is told as a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role
in feng shui. It refers to the orientation of a structure, its age and its interaction
with the surrounding environment like climate, slope of the land, vegetation or soil
quality.
Polarity is similar to the concept of magnetic dipole. It is called as the Yin and
Yang Theory. It has two parts: one creating an exertion and the other receiving the
exertion. The ultimate goal of Chinese medicine is to balance yin and yang in your
body. Feng shui has been described as aligning a city, site or building, with yin-
yang force fields.
The Bagua is its larger aspect.
Bagua refers to diagrams. The
Lo Chart, The Luoshu and the
River Chart were developed.
The Lo chart is also associated
with Later Heaven arrangement
of the bagua. According to
bagua theory, there were Four
Celestial Animals :-
The Azure Dragon
The Vermilion Bird
The White Tiger
The Black Tortoise
