Features: Feng Shui is a unique ancient Chinese method for selecting and handling architectural environments. It has had a profound influence on traditional architectural culture, where superstition and science are intertwined, and dross and essence coexist. Historically, it has been subject to both praise and criticism. In recent years, with the changing academic atmosphere in the field of architectural theory both domestically and internationally, Feng Shui has been "rediscovered" and has attracted attention. This book collects 23 academic papers on Feng Shui research and evaluation, covering its origins, evolution, schools, philosophical, aesthetic, and scientific connotations, as well as its specific applications in the selection, planning, design, and construction of buildings such as towns, palaces, and mausoleums. It can benefit relevant personnel in deepening their understanding of the connection between traditional architectural culture and Feng Shui, as well as its reasons for existence and value, enabling critical research and the rejection of dross while preserving the essence.
