Features: Feng Shui, originating from the choice and transformation of life in a territory; originating from the release and elevation of human instinct. Fields vary in fertility, homes vary in auspiciousness. Believing in the gathering of qi, even a small dwelling or a modest shop can prosper; residing in a place where qi disperses, even holding high office or being immensely wealthy, will ultimately decline. This book aims to explain the proposed theories from the source and broader perspective of Feng Shui, using the essence of life, the behavior of animals, and the states and changes of China's natural society over thousands of years. It also attempts to analyze human survival and destiny through Feng Shui theory and propose preliminary views on the principles of Feng Shui for cities, shops, and homes. For traditional theories far removed from modern science, this book only briefly examines their origins and does not incorporate them into the theoretical system. The maturation of a scientific branch naturally follows a process of building on the past, gradual progress, and continuous refinement and improvement. The author hopes this book can serve as a stepping stone to inspire further discussion, distill its essence, and return ancient traditional Feng Shui thoughts and theories from the realm of superstition and mysticism back to the track of science, restoring its true nature as a natural science.
