Feng Shui History

Feng shui history begins some six thousand years ago, emerging from the Chinese practice of philosophy, astronomy, astrology and physics.

The main purpose of the feng shui art is the creation of  compatibility between man and the environment. Thus, if you are merely after compatibility with nature, you can accomplish it by a careful and correct placement of the furnitures and objects in the house and office.

The earliest records in fend shui history appear with the Han Dynasty in the south eastern Chinese region.

This art and science grew out from what it is known as the Form School that took its inspiration from the mountains and hills of this geographical area.

According to feng shui history, this Form School aimed at finding locations in the landscape that were charged with a superior chi energy.

The findings could then be applied to determining the perfect spots for the protection of the inhabitants and the making of burial sites. The principles present in feng shui history, are also internal and characteristic for the Chinese perception of the human body with its energetic charge.

The same chi that governs the working of the universe, flows through our bodies. Feng shui is based on the working of the life force in itself.

Whether we are talking about the natural energetic remedies present in traditional Chinese medicine or feng shui history as such, we come across the same principle: it is better to prevent than cure. Thus, the feeding, fueling and energizing of the body are part of a complex process each human being should be aware of and practice on a daily basis.

In time, feng shui history was marked by other moments and refineries brought by learned people; this is the case with Yang Yun Sung whose teachings and practice represent a turning point in the evolution and even the modern interpretation of feng shui.

More schools appeared at the heart of the feng shui tradition, but they all preserve a common core in the approach to the chi energy. Presently, the focus falls on the attempt to increase the awareness about how the chi operates in the body.

A person who knows the he/she is part of the chi and that the course of the natural life force can be impaired or improved, has superior chances of living a fulfilled life at all levels: material, spiritual, physical and emotional.

Last but not least, to the persistent student, feng shui history could very well indicate what the essence of being really is. We are talking about a never-ending “study” of life, just like the eternal force that generates it.
