Feng Shui
红极美国的风水
风水，本为相地之术，即临场校察地理的方法，也叫地相、古称堪舆术。相传风水的创始人是九天玄女，比较完善的风水学问起源于战国时代。风水的核心思想是人与大自然的和谐，早期的风水主要关乎宫殿、住宅、村落、墓地的选址、座向、建设等方法及原则，原意是选择合适的地方的一门学问。

认识风水
1风水在西方盛行
The Ancient Art of Feng Shui literally translated to mean “Wind ＆ Water” has been practiced in various forms throughout the World and is estimated to be between 3，000 to 5，000 Years Old。 Feng Shui seeks to achieve a Balance， Harmony， Peace and Prosperity in your life through simple but effective changes in your Surroundings。
Feng Shui Consultants believe that your Surroundings have a deep and profound impact on your life in all aspects and create an environment that supports your dreams and aspirations by changing the Flow of Energy into a positive one。Feng shui experts believe that the earth and everything on it is composed of one or more of the five basic elements： water， wood， fire， earth and metal。 They are represented by the colors： black， green， red， yellow and white。 These elements will create harmony if grouped in a positive， creative sequence。 Thus water nourishes wood， wood feeds fire； fire burns to make earth and from earth comes metal。
Bad feng shui results when the elements exist in a destructive arrangement。 Water， for example， destroys fire so it would be bad feng shui to have these elements next to each other。 Metal and fire， or earth and wood are also undesirable combinations。 The feng shui consultant examines the house， both inside and out， for possible relationships between conflicting elements and tries to correct them。
Of course it is not necessary to have the actual elements in the house。 No one has a pile of earth in the living room or a fire in the bathroom， but the elements may still be there symbolically。 A yellow or brown sofa would be an earth element。 In some cases the symbolism is more obvious： the kitchen stove is a fire element， the sink water。
Fire and water are conflicting elements， so having the stove and sink side by side would be bad feng shui。 Does this mean that you have to remodel your kitchen if you have this arrangement？ Not necessarily。 You could hang an earth symbol， a green pot holder for example， between the two to create tranquillity。
2关于风水的表达方式

Wood木Qi （ch＇i）气
Qi （roughly pronounced as the sound “chee” in English） is a movable positive or negative life force which plays an essential role in feng shui。 In feng shui as in Chinese martial arts， it refers to “energy”， in the sense of “life force”。
Polarity极
Polarity is expressed in feng shui as Yin （阴）and Yang （阳） Theory。 Polarity expressed through yin and yang is similar to a magnetic dipole。 That is， it is of two parts： one creating an exertion and one receiving the exertion。
Bagua （eight trigrams） 八卦
Two diagrams known as bagua （or pa kua） loom large in feng shui， and both predate their mentions in the Yijing （or I Ching）。
中国风水学或者叫堪舆学，现称居住环境学。风水学是人类在长期的居住实践中积累的宝贵经验。朝阳光、避风雨、防火灾，近水源、利出行成了最基本的居住理论。“风水”设计的基本原则之一是将象征五行（土、水、火、金、木）的元素置于房间周围，以增加“气”（即“活力”）的流动。
“风水”理念在摩天大楼、银行、甚至动物园的建筑设计中都有所应用，而且在大量“咖啡桌书”和电视节目中都有介绍。“熊猫快餐”中餐连锁店采用的就是风水设计。
