It is about a style or philosophy of life that aims to make the human being benefit directly from the good energies that the space (which must be adorned and adequate), can provide. The true origin of Feng-shui is not certain, as there are different versions of how it came to be transformed into the kind of “pseudoscience” (false science or with contradictory bases) that is considered today; However, some research suggests that it was a way for the ancient Chinese to observe the changes in nature and how they were influenced by the cosmos, obviously making use of the resources and knowledge that they had previously acquired.
The taoísmo is one of the major influences of the Feng Shui and this is based on the prolific and equal interaction between man and nature, starting with coexistence between the various elements. The Tao Te King is a writing that has also significantly modified Taoism, dictating a complex history that intertwines the points of life. All this is mixed to give way to this set of beliefs (taken as a philosophy of life), a bit superstitious, which have spread to the world in the last century due to the influence of English and American writers.
The classical doctrine of feng-Shui consists of quite important elements of nature, such as water, wind and some animals. The Dragon, the Tiger, the Turtle, the Phoenix and the Serpent are the guardians who are in charge of guarding the proper functioning and interaction of the elements. The teaching of how these work varies from school to school, so not all daily rituals and practices are the same.
