Features: This book strives to adopt a pragmatic attitude, delving deeply and systematically into the origins, development, and theoretical methods of feng shui. It also illustrates its close relationship with ancient Chinese architecture through numerous examples. By exploring its historical and cultural background, philosophical roots, and some specific operational methods, the book attempts to analyze and evaluate its merits and demerits from a scientific perspective, aiming to help people gain a more comprehensive and correct understanding of it. At the same time, due to the limited scientific knowledge of ancient times, things that originally had scientific value were shrouded in the enigmatic layers of traditional culture, such as the theory of yin and yang, the five elements, and the bagua system, making them seem intimidating. This book attempts to explore the scientific components of feng shui through the connection between ancient and modern architecture, combining modern architectural science theories, striving to provide people with a clear outline of the relationship between feng shui and architecture. This is also the responsibility of an architectural historian.
