Features: Feng Shui initially served as the imperial art for emperors, applied to guide the construction of cities, palaces, and mausoleums. Feng Shui flourished from the Tang and Song dynasties, evolving based on the principles of the I Ching and popularizing with the invention of the compass (the predecessor of the South Pointing Chi). It developed into two major schools: the Fujian School, which emphasized the theory-based approach, and the Jiangxi School, which focused on the form-based approach. Gradually, Feng Shui was introduced into the general populace, and its theoretical system became increasingly refined, playing a prominent role in the progress of social civilization. Traditional Chinese architecture of various styles bears the profound influence of Feng Shui, with related works preserved in famous collections such as the Yongle Encyclopedia and the Siku Quanshu. As a comprehensive discipline, modern Feng Shui is closely connected with various other fields of study. How to advance with the times and continuously improve this discipline to make greater contributions to modern construction planning activities is an important and rigorous topic. This book is a phased summary of the practical and theoretical experiences in modern Feng Shui, written by professionals from China and Canada. Given that many previous books on the subject have been overly obscure and difficult to understand, this book aims to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner, avoiding overly esoteric discussions, and hoping to inspire readers.
