In Five Classics of Fengshui Michael Paton traces the theoretical development of this form of spiritual geography through full translations of major texts: the Burial Classic of Qing Wu, Book of Burial, Yellow Emperor’s Classic of House Siting, Twenty Four Difficult Problems, and Water Dragon Classic. This theoretical development is analysed through the lens of history, philosophy and sociology of science in an attempt to address Joseph Needham’s conundrum of the "great beauty of the siting" in traditional China being based of such a “grossly superstitious system” and to understand what part fengshui played in the environmental history of China.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice based on the idea that the harmonious balance of nature in the environment in which we live influences life. It is a system based on the observation of nature and works through the understanding of the five elements of earth, metal, water, wood and fire. Feng Shui has its origins in the Taoist tradition and has played an important role in Chinese culture over the centuries. In this book we will look in depth at the background, meaning and application of Feng Shui and how it can add value to society. In the following chapters we will look at the history and origin of Feng Shui, the meaning of the five elements and how they can be applied in architecture and daily life. We will also explore the connection between Feng Shui and Taoism and how it has evolved throughout China's history. Finally, we will look at how Feng Shui is used in the modern world, how it relates to the environment and its future.

In the West, feng shui (literally meaning "wind" and "water") usually means doing things like arranging furniture or hanging mirrors for good fortune. But it is much more than that. A feng shui practitioner actually helps you to shape your fate. In The Art & Science of Feng Shui, Author Henry B. Lin, a native of China, goes far beyond the usual simplistic interpretations of feng shui to reveal the inner history and secrets of this powerful system of magick-through-design. You'll learn the important principles of this science including the effects of Qi energy, wind, water, mountains, and direction may have on a building. You'll also learn about the consequences of having different land sites for the same building. Advice is given for businesses as well as homes. There should be no window or door behind the seat of the CEO. There should be a potted plant on his or her desk, too. The financial departments of a company should be located on the right side of the building but the marketing and personnel departments should be located on the left. Also covered is the role that color plays in feng shui. Green and black are good colors for furniture businesses, while red and pink are good for restaurants or bakerys. The reasons for this are explained in the book. Even the importance of burial places and direction is considered. And while it may not have an effect on the one making use of the burial site, if the person is buried the wrong way it could have terrible consequences for generations to come. Even astrology has an effect on feng shui. The birthday of an owner may affect the energy flow in a home, thereby requiring a different set-up than a home owned by a person born on a different date. All of this and more is revealed in this book. To really learn feng shui in depth, this is the book you need.

Feng Shui is a body of ancient Chinese knowledge that aims at creating a harmony between environment, buildings and people. It represented the most significant set of architectural theory and practice in Chinese history. Feng Shui knowledge reflected the traditional Chinese attitudes towards the natural and built environment. With a desire to improve the relationship between human and the environment, there is an increasing interest for architects, building professionals and other property practitioners to apply the concepts of Feng Shui in building design. As Feng Shui knowledge represents a holistic view in creating harmonized built environment, research into the application of Feng Shui to the built environment needs to be addressed.

Feng Shui has been known in the West for the last 150 years but has mostly been regarded as a primitive superstition. During the modern period successive regimes in China have suppressed its practice. However, in the last few decades Feng Shui has become a global spiritual movement with professional associations, thousands of titles published on the subject, countless websites devoted to it and millions of users. In this book Ole Bruun explains Feng Shui's Chinese origins and meanings as well as its more recent Western interpretations and global appeal. Unlike the abundance of popular manuals, his Introduction treats Chinese Feng Shui as an academic subject, bridging religion, history and sociology. Individual chapters explain: • the Chinese religious-philosophical background • Chinese uses in rural and urban areas • the history of Feng Shui's reinterpretation in the West • environmental perspectives and other issues
