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
