Some say that the history of Feng Shui date back to 3,000 years ago, while others say there are documents indicating that it was in practice, even until 5000 years in China. Whether 3000 or 5000, it is striking how the strength of this powerful body of knowledge has been spread throughout the world and how it is widely used for this same day.

Feng Shui (pronounced Fung-shway) means wind water, but in ancient China, this art was once known as Yue Hum resulting in route and the way to heaven on earth, respectively. Both terms describe the power to harness the energy or chi in the environment.

The Early Years

Feng Shui history books as The Book of Songs or Shih Ching, first introduced to this ancient wisdom and talked about how they should practice. That were documented during several years starting in the ninth century BC. During the Han Dynasty in China around 206 BC to 224 AD, the Registry of Rites or Li Chi, edited by Kuo Po, talked about how it could be applied to the tombs. It was not until the Sung dynasty, around 960 AD to 1279 that Wang Chi documented on how could be applied to house building.

Feng Shui Today

The history of feng shui one man in particular credit for its development in recent years is what I know today, Chok Kuen. Chok Kuen mastered the art during the Tang Dynasty and published many books on their practice, share knowledge we use to this day.

If we were to travel to Hong Kong, you can see how popular this study and practiced today as it was for many years. Millionaire moguls of the family homes, everyone jumped on the bandwagon and have reaped the benefits of this ancient science. In fact, it's fascinating to see how the landscape and geography of the island of Hong Kong itself has been molded with these principles in order to contribute to wealth and prosperity of the city with the mountains behind and in front port over their financial strip.

In Hong Kong, specialists in the field often are consulted in the preliminary stages of the buildings and homes to ensure that are built on and with the most favorable locations and spaces. Some evidence of this can be seen in eight side rooms in offices and even a building with a large hole through the medium in which to allow the negative energies that flow through its frame in order not to affect its inhabitants. Using what they learned from the history of feng shui and its application in the early planning stages, eliminating the need to correct the negative energy later captured in the construction or house can be very expensive if you consider the construction of a large building.

Feng shui history has taught us much about the energy use of environments we live to live happier, profitable and satisfying life in this modern world. It is through the natural energy of the universe that will ultimately achieve this balance of power and harmony to give us the best chance for love, prosperity, success, health and happiness.

The only difference in the history books and the Bible is the supernatural?

History books and the Bible are translated from ancient manuscripts. The Bible is criticized because it only has the Super Natural attached. historical events can not be proven scientifically. There are recreational or repeatable. Sorry, I know this is not a question, but lets think a little about this town. I know that Christian thought for her, hard to believe.

The history books are the history of mankind. The Bible is God's letter to humanity to tell us why we are alive, our purpose in life, and what to expect in the coming century.
