Feng shui (art)

The traditional Shou practice of site divination was called Fens Shui (Wind and Water). A master of feng shui might determine the ideal location for carrying out certain tasks like casting spells, making magical tools, or finding secure locations for camps and fortifications. Feng shui was a part of Shou life in every way. A smart Shou citizen would always seek advice from the local feng shui master before setting up a home, creating a compound, or even moving the furniture. The master would give him advice on where to put his front entrance, how to arrange his furniture, and how to stay away from bad locations when building.

By carrying out these actions, bad luck or evil will be prevented. Some things encourage either good or bad feng shui. For instance:


 * Good Feng shui: oval doors circular windows the hue red around water Front doors or gates with elaborate designs to frighten away evil.
 * Bad Feng shui: three-sided doors three-sided windows the shade of black windows or doors facing the street to the west.
