5 Legendary Animals And Feng Shui

FENGSHUI. Fengshui, meaning "wind water," is the basis for managing qi in the human world. It's name is first found in the 4th century Book of Burial, where it is written:

•    Qi rides the feng (wind) and 
•    scatters, but is retained when 
•    encountering shui (water). The 
•    ancients collected it to prevent 
•    its dissipation and guided it to 
•    assure its retention. Thus it was 
•    called fengshui. According to the 
•    laws of fengshui, the site which 
•    attracts water is optimum, 
•    followed by the site which 
•    catches wind.
