Features: The term "feng shui" encompasses the naive cosmology, natural philosophy, and environmental concepts formed by our ancestors during their construction activities. It emphasizes the integration of natural elements like wind and water with other elements of traditional Chinese philosophy, such as "qi" and "yin-yang." Among these, "qi" holds the utmost importance in feng shui, which includes refined qi, primordial qi, vibrant qi, etc. Feng shui uses the invisible qi to analyze the tangible environment, while also reflecting the boundaries of the physical environment. Only places that can retain qi are suitable for construction activities, ensuring that both internal and external qi flourish in balance, which in turn brings "auspiciousness to the house and peace to the inhabitants." The strong environmental consciousness of avoiding misfortune and pursuing good fortune embedded in feng shui concepts reflects the ancient people's intense pursuit of environmental psychology. Based on the study of numerous classic ancient texts and closely connected to practical applications, this book introduces and analyzes the many ideas of traditional feng shui masters, aiming to scientifically and correctly guide readers in reasonably adopting feng shui concepts and scientifically selecting, arranging, and designing homes, companies, and offices. The views presented in this book are for reference and research purposes only. Some of them lack scientific explanations, some lack sufficient evidence, some are debatable, and some are copied verbatim, merely to broaden readers' horizons. All these are hoped to be understood and appreciated by the readers.
