Do you care about the orientation of a building? You may not. However, if you believe in Feng Shui, you will.

Feng Shui originated from ancient China and is considered as part of Chinese culture. Nowadays, it has already been spread to the Western countries. Feng Shui doctrine was substantially influenced by Chinese traditional philosophy, mathematics, psychology, astrology. It has been extensively applied and especially focused on architecture. Based on Feng Shui principles, both the exterior environment and the interior decoration could influence people’s daily lives. So people should select a certain location with specific surroundings to build their houses. Besides, people should decorate in a certain way to meet their maximum potential.

Chinese Feng Shui simply means “wind and water”, which are normally thought of flow. So the essence of Feng Shui lies in the compatibility between human activities and the rule of nature. Abiding by the law and order of the universe, human beings will benefit. In my point of view, Feng Shui theory was generally established on the ancient Chinese Taoism and emphasized the harmony of human beings and the universe. This old notion has been widely accepted in modern society. However, I’d rather take Feng Shui as a psychological suggestion than a scientific policy. Feng Shui, like a kind of mysterious power, exerts both positive and negative influences on people’s judgment. For instance, people with a good Feng Shui state tend to be satisfied with their current status and be confident in their future. On the contrary, with bad Feng Shui, one may have a lot of misfortunes or troubles and have to modify the way they are living. Do not blame Feng Shui if one is not successful. Because Feng Shui is only a psychological guide, not a master.
