Feng shui

Feng shui is a traditional form of geomancy that originated in ancient China. The term feng shui means, literally, "wind-water". From ancient times, landscapes and bodies of water were thought to direct the flow of the universal qi – "cosmic current" or energy – through places and structures.

More broadly, feng shui includes astronomical, astrological, architectural, cosmological, geographical, and topographical dimensions.
