Feng Shui

Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese discipline that combines elements of art and science. The name of the activity is pronounced "fung shway."
It dates back hundreds of thousands of years at the very least. In order to assist people in achieving a balance of their energies within a certain location, the discipline makes use of the natural laws that govern heaven and earth. This is done in order to bring good fortune and health to them.
The word "feng" refers to the wind, and the word "shui" refers to the water. Therefore, the literal translation of Feng Shui is "wind water." The native Chinese inhabitants of this region associate a setting with wind that is calm and water that is transparent. It is meant to symbolize prosperity and a bountiful crop.

It is a central tenet of Feng Shui that Chi is present in the surrounding environment. The work that Chi does in relation to energy. In days gone by, the Chinese inhabitants of the area believed that the energy of the land could either be beneficial or harmful to those who inhabited it.

The Taoist principles that deal with how to interact with nature are where Feng Shui got its start. Belief systems, both religious and intellectual, are central to Taoism. In Asia, the philosophy of Taoism had a significant impact.
In addition, Taoism is the religion that gave rise to the notions of yin and yang. The concepts of yin and yang focus on opposing characteristics of a thing or drawing parallels between two phenomena. They stand for excellence in relation to correspondence, a concept that can be found across the majority of branches of Chinese science and philosophy. Ancient Chinese medicine is a good illustration of this type of practice.
