Features: People are the same, but destinies are different. Those who follow the rules have success within reach. Those who defy them are lost in confusion. A person's wealth, status, fortune, and misfortune have both a predetermined aspect and a changeable one. It is necessary to understand one's destiny and change it, transforming misfortune into good fortune and eliminating disasters to bring blessings. The term "feng shui" embodies the simple cosmology, natural philosophy, and environmental concepts formed by ancestors during construction activities. It emphasizes the combination of wind, water in nature, and other elements such as "qi" and "yin-yang" in traditional Chinese philosophy. Among these, "qi" is particularly important in feng shui, which includes refined qi, primordial qi, vibrant qi, etc. Using invisible qi to analyze tangible environments also reflects the scope of the tangible environment. Only places that can store qi can be used for construction, allowing both internal and external qi to flourish while maintaining balance, which ensures a "lucky house and peaceful people." The strong environmental consciousness of avoiding misfortune and pursuing good fortune in feng shui concepts reflects the ancient people's intense pursuit of environmental psychology. Based on the study of numerous classical ancient texts and closely connecting with practical applications, this book introduces and analyzes the many ideas of traditional feng shui masters, aiming to guide readers scientifically and correctly to adopt the concepts of feng shui rationally and scientifically in selecting, arranging homes, companies, and offices. The views in this book are for everyone's understanding, research, and reference. Some of them lack scientific explanation, some lack sufficient evidence, some are debatable, and some are copied verbatim, all to broaden readers' horizons. For all these reasons, we hope readers will discern clearly.
