FENG SHUI     AN INTRODUCTION TO FENG SHUI       Top Ten Feng Shui Tips from Elizabeth Chamberlain     Feng Shui Bedroom     Feng Shui Color Theory     Feng shui (English pronunciation: /ˌfʌŋˈʃweɪ/ fung′-shway′,[1] formerly /ˈfʌŋʃuː.i/ fung′-shoo-ee;[2] traditional Chinese: 風水; simplified Chinese: 风水; pinyin: fēng shuǐ, pronounced [fə́ŋʂwèi]) is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics believed to use the laws of both Heaven (astronomy) and Earth (geography) to help one improve life by receiving positive qi.[3] The original designation for the discipline is Kan Yu (traditional Chinese: 堪輿; simplified Chinese: 堪舆; pinyin: kānyú; literally: Tao of heaven and earth).[4] The term feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the following passage of the Zhangshu (Book of Burial) by Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty:[5] Qi rides the wind and scatters, but is retained when encountering water.[5] Traditional feng shui practice always requires an extremely accurate Chinese compass, or luo pan, in order to determine the directions in finding any auspicious sector in a desired location.
