Feng Shui(风水)

Hey, guys! Finally, I have done with my Final Year Project draft. As I mentioned in the previous post, I gonna share something about Feng Shui. This time, I will share some of my family background. I have several uncles and one of my uncle is a Feng Shui Master. He was a reporter of "The Star" last time and currently a Feng Shui Master. His Feng Shui's knowledge was learned from an old man as I heard from my father. Moreover, my father also a Feng Shui enthusiast and he learn all these by himself.

For you guys information, Feng Shui consists of 5 elements that are Metal(金), Wood(木), Water(水), Fire(火) and Earth(土). These five elements form our earth and most of the things in the world. These five elements can be found in most of the things in our Earth therefore they can be consider as the basic elements. One important point that I want to mention here is Feng Shui does not related to any of the religious and it only mentioned about the nature of the world. Feng Shui explain about the relationship between all the living things with the non-living things. It is a quite abstract topic and it do related to our daily life.

Actually, Feng Shui is just a part of the contents from the Book of Change(易经). Almanac(通书) is also another topic that obtains from the Book of Change and it is closely related to Feng Shui. In other words, Feng Shui and Almanac are subset of Book of Change. Begins from here I will describe about some of the Feng Shui aspect. According to my uncle's description, we can make some change to our life by implements Feng Shui in our daily life. The daily life that I mention is not the usual daily life that we refer to, but it consists of the way we live and lifestyle.

My uncle did mentioned an important advice for those that plan to hire a Feng Shui Master last time and I will share it to you guys at here. Some of Feng Shui Masters are not good in their profession due to lack of certain important knowledge in Feng Shui but some how they still can make something bad to you. If you invite these kind of professionist and you don't believe with them then they can make use of Gui Wei(鬼位) to do something harmful on you so that you would believe on it. However, most of the skillful Feng Shui Masters won't do such kind of thing to us. Therefore, please do not offend Feng Shui Masters.

Some people may thought that this is just a joke but it really can happen to anyone of us. The effect of Feng Shui is not just improve your life but it can also make you(including your family and descendants) much more worse than now. Therefore, do not try to offend Feng Shui Masters. The ex-president of Republic of China, Mao Zedong(毛泽东) is one of the beneficiary of Feng Shui. His story has been mentioned innumerable time in most of the Feng Shui's book.

During his childhood, his father was guided by a Feng Shui Master for buried his grandfather's body on a good land(龙脉). According to the explanation of Feng Shui's book, the place where his grandfather buried is only good to him but may caused harmful to his descendants. As a result, most of the Mao Zedong's son were death before the autumn of their life. His four out of six sons had passed away in the young age. This is one of the effect of Feng Shui.

Actually, Feng Shui can be consider as a science of civil engineering. It always refer to the direction of our house situated and the household design. It is much like interior design but it more emphasize on the effect of the design. For example, we should not place our kitchen facing with the toilet. From the aspect of Feng Shui explanation, toilet is belongs to water element whereas kitchen is fire element. Both these elements cannot face with each other because they are oppose to each other and if they are facing each other then worst situation may occurs. From the aspect of science, kitchen should not face with toilet because toilet is one of the most dirty places in our house.

Apart from that, if your house is facing with the T junction, then you will easily feel of under pressure and insomia. From the aspect of Feng Shui, this happen because of the flow of Chi(气). Different kind of Chi is always flowing into your house. Different Chi can have different effect and this can affect to your health especially your mental. From the aspect of science, when you living in such kind of houses, you will always see the car pass by. Every time a car pass by in front of your house, you will worry of the car is unable to stop right at the T junction and even afraid of horrible accident(s) happen in front of your house. As a result, it can caused your pressure increase and insomia. Therefore, Feng Shui is a logical subject too.

My conclusion is no matter you believe it or not, Feng Shui do exist. Hope you guys after read through this article can have a more understanding of Feng Shui. Thanks for your reading. Stay tuned for my next post. Hope you guys have a nice day!
