Features: Feng Shui is a profound discipline uniquely created in China. It integrates astronomy, geography, environmental science, architecture, landscape architecture, ethics, divination, and aesthetics. After five thousand years of time-tested validation and extensive geographical spatial practice, it possesses the world's most comprehensive statistical and practical value. Its research philosophy is the concept of "harmony between heaven and humanity," advocating the unity of "heaven, earth, and humanity" (the "three talents"). Its methodology differs from the traditional Western approach of "man outside of things," instead proposing "man participating with heaven and earth." Is Feng Shui culture? Science? Technology? Or superstition? An enigma left by ancestors for their descendants. Read this book, and you will surely find the answer! This book systematically elaborates on the inseparable relationship between urban land use, site selection, residential design, and overall planning and Feng Shui. Feng Shui is both a national traditional culture and a rigorous science. Broadly speaking, it is cultural; narrowly speaking, it is scientific. It has certain rules, its own instruments, theories, and operational techniques.
