Blog 5-Mrs Pamela-Ye Shujian(Peter)-fengshui


When I was little, my mother told me something about fengshui, so I knew some basic knowledge about it. For example, the door of a house should face south and a house should be located in the relatively north, because then the house can have more sunshine and avoid suffering from the strong wind. At that time, I started to agree that fengshui is a reasonable thing.

However, not everyone in my home accepts fengshui. Like my father, he thinks fengshui is traditional and superstitious. He would laugh at us when we talk about fengshui and he asked me not to believe it. I don't agree with him as I think fengshui is examined by so many people for so many years and it is still popular in the Chinese even the foreigners, it is reasonable and practical. Actually, it is not all about superstitious. For example, fengshui encourages people to make the room or desk tidy so that when you are working, you will be more efficient. What's more, fengshui is a very important part of Chinese culture. We cannot forget or abandon it.

  1. I really agree with you that fengshui is "part of Chinese culture". And as a Chinese, I am so proud of the worldwide acceptance of fengshui. To me, I would like to use some practical rules of fengshui to make my life better.
