Blog5-Mr Seto-Dong Fangzhou-"Fengshui"


“Fengshui”, a traditional Chinese method of choosing a place for building a house as well as choosing a good way to place items in the home, has been on trend in eastern and western society. The reason for adapting “Fengshui” is mainly to bring in good luck and have more chance to make a fortune. Someone think that “Fengshui” is just a kind of superstition and we should not pay attention to it at all. However, in my opinion, we should pay attention to “Fengshui” and make good use of it. Firstly, “Fengshui” had been developed by the ancient Chinese people throughout thousands of years and is still in use. We cannot deny it that it has a positive influence on the people who use it properly. For example, “Fengshui” emphasize the use of living water, such as fountains, in a big house. It is true that a nice designed fountain can bring people a bright mood, which actually has a good effect on their careers. Secondly, honestly speaking, we humans have not totally understood the principles of nature so far, and maybe we never will. Chances are that “Fengshui” uses some principles of nature that has yet not discovered by humans. And the intelligent ancient Chinese people recorded the effects of these principles in their daily lives (although they did not necessarily know the exact reason behind the effects) and developed “Fengshui”.Therefore, we cannot prove “Fengshui” to be wrong and we should admire it as long as it brings us positive effects.
