Seni kuno Feng Shui mempunyai pelbagai tafsiran dan aplikasi pada zaman kontemporari. Dari Feng Shui untuk rumah, ruang awam sehingga Feng Shui untuk perniagaan, semuanya tertumpu untuk menghasilkan tenaga positif atau 'Qi' dan untuk menggalakkan sudut baik dalam semua aspek kehidupan. Dalam konteks kontemporari, khususnya dalam dunia perniagaan di wilayah besar China, Feng Shui digunakan untuk menggalakkan aliran yang baik di tempat kerja demi mengukuhkan kesejahteraan pekerja, juga untuk menggalakkan lebih banyak kejayaan dalam perniagaan. Walaupun aplikasi Feng Shui untuk perniagaan adalah yang paling terkenal, masih terdapat bidang yang melibatkan penggunaan Feng Shui, iaitu dalam reka bentuk logo perniagaan. Dari perspektif Feng Shui, logo perniagaan dengan ‘Qi’ yang tepat sangat penting untuk kejayaan dalam perniagaan. Mengenai reka bentuk logo Feng Shui, terdapat panduan utama seperti pemilihan warna, susunan bentuk dan perkaitan simbolik gambar yang didasari oleh prinsip-prinsip penting Feng Shui. Oleh itu, untuk menggabungkan elemen Feng Shui ke dalam reka bentuk logo merupakan sesuatu yang kompleks dan berperingkat. Dalam kajian ini, untuk menjawab minat ilmiah terhadap logo Feng Shui dalam perniagaan, pengkaji telah berusaha untuk menunjukkan beberapa aspek penting dari penerapan Feng Shui dalam logo perniagaan, iaitu "Logo Simbolik Feng Shui", dan akan membincangkan bagaimana konsep Feng Shui mempengaruhi dan mencerminkan reka bentuk dan nilai estetika logo Feng Shui di wilayah Besar China. Diharapkan kajian ini dapat memberikan pemahaman mengenai aplikasi kontemporari Feng Shui dalam dunia perniagaan, terutamanya pada logo perniagaan Feng Shui. The ancient art of Feng Shui has diverse interpretation and applications in the contemporary times, from Feng Shui for homes, Feng Shui for public spaces to Feng Shui for business, all focused on generating positive energy or ‘Qi' and promote the betterment in all aspects of life. In a contemporary context, particularly for the business world in Greater China region, Feng Shui is applied for good flow in the workspace in order to strengthen the well being of the co-workers, as well as to draw more business success. While these are the most well-known applications of Feng Shui for Business, there is another area where Feng Shui is highly involved, which is in the design of the business logo. From a Feng Shui perspective, auspicious business logo with right ‘Qi” is essential for business success. When it comes to Feng Shui logo design, there are major guidelines such as the selection of colors, an arrangement of shapes and images symbolic association that are based on important Feng Shui principles. Therefore, to integrate Feng Shui elements into a logo design can be a complex and lengthy subject. In this paper, to response on the research scholarly interest in Feng Shui for business logo, the researcher has made an attempt to point out some important aspects of Feng Shui’s application in business logo, which known as “Symbolic Feng Shui Logo”, and discuss how the concept of Feng Shui influence and reflect the design and aesthetic of Feng Shui logo design in the Greater China region. It is hoped that this paper will provide insights into an understanding of contemporary Feng Shui application in the business world, particularly on the Feng Shui business logo.

Full textAbstract:
Feng Shui merupakan ilmu Tiongkok kuno yang digunakan sebagai salah satu pendekatan desain dan penataan lingkungan binaan hingga zaman ini. Namun, banyak pihak lupa, tidak sadar, atau bahkan tidak tahu bahwa Feng Shui juga mementingkan bentuk (form) dan bukan hanya penerapan formula atau perhitungan saja. Masalah muncul pada image praktisi Feng Shui yang negatif, yaitu bagi mayoritas arsitek, pelaksana bangunan dan sebagian pihak pemilik proyek, jika praktisi Feng Shui terlibat, desain akan berantakan, aneh, tidak enak dilihat, dan membuat bingung mereka semua. Makalah ini mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis empat pendekatan yang lazim diterapkan oleh praktisi Feng Shui yang pada praktiknya lebih banyak menekankan penerapan formula dan melupakan bentuk (form), padahal teori dasar Feng Shui menyatakan bahwa penerapannya menitikberatkan keserasian dengan lingkungan. Di sini juga ditunjukkan bahwa masing-masing pendekatan dapat ditengahi secara logis tanpa menyalahi aturan dasar Feng Shui itu sendiri. Hasil pembahasan memperlihatkan bahwa bentuk (form) dan penerapan formula dalam Feng Shui bukan merupakan hal yang saling terpisah, tetapi justru diperlukan diterapkan bersamaan untuk tujuan desain yang baik.

Feng-shui is an old and traditional body of knowledge in Chinese society. Feng-shui has a significant influence on many aspects in daily life for most Chinese, including choosing locations for dwelling units, offices, burial sites, and so on. However, there have been few studies on the impact of feng-shui on housing prices. By applying a housing hedonic equation and a data set of 77,624 observations in Taiwan, we have attempted to estimate the impact of feng-shui on housing prices. We find that all six types of bad feng-shui have a significantly negative impact on housing prices. Moreover, by applying a quantile regression, we find that most of the bad feng-shui has a stronger negative impact on expensive dwelling units. Our findings confirm that people who buy expensive housing units care about feng-shui more than those who buy less expensive housing units.

Full textAbstract:
Feng shui in ancient China was harmonized with the natural environment. The layout of houses following feng shui is conducive to a comfortable wind environment. To explore the positive influence of feng shui on ventilation, this study takes Prince Kung’s Mansion, which has the characteristics of a feng shui layout, as the research object. In parallel, the study assumes a dissimilation layout that has lost the feng shui layout characteristics. Comparing the ventilation of courtyards in the summer for both the feng shui layout and the dissimilation layout through CFD simulation, the results were as follows: (1) the wind speed values in the summer, taken from 60 points in Prince Kung’s Mansion by way of CFD simulation and field experiments, were well coupled, which proves that PHOENICS is suitable for the courtyard wind environments simulation in this study. (2) The CFD simulation results show that the average wind speed and the comfortable wind speed zone ratio in the courtyards of the feng shui layout were higher than those of the dissimilation layout during the summer, and the courtyard wind speeds of the two layouts were linearly related. Therefore, the feng shui layout is more conducive to the comfort of courtyards’ wind environment than the dissimilation layout. (3) The front and rear wind pressure differences of the main houses in the feng shui layout can optimize the indoor ventilation better than those of dissimilation layout in the summer. (4) According to the evaluation criteria for the wind environment, the wind speed and wind pressure of the feng shui layout are superior to those of dissimilation layout in the summer. In summary, this study verifies that the layout of feng shui optimizes the courtyard wind environment in the summer, which embodies the ecological concept of the Chinese ancients in the layout of houses.

Full textAbstract:
The Feng Shui of the Joseon Dynasty Period formed the basis of traditional geography used for spatial arrangement and landscape management of various landscapes and places including the location of Hanseong, the capital. From the early days of the Joseon Dynasty, Feng Shui was recognized as a major national academic field by government officials, and was one of the exam subjects of Gwageo (bureaucratic recruitment) system, and professional bureaucrats were appointed to government posts. Immediately after the Imjin War[壬 辰倭亂], King Seonjo mobilized the idea of Feng Shui as a theoretical basis to restore the main landscape elements of Hanseong destroyed by the war. However, after the late Joseon Dynasty, the idea of Feng Shui was criticized by many bureaucrats and Confucian scholars, and even the king added it. Even harsh criticism from some official historians followed the king for his excessive favoritism of Feng Shui. In particular, during the reigns of king Yeongjo and Jeongjo, critical opinions on Feng Shui arose greatly. After the late Joseon Dynasty, Feng Shui was greatly reduced to the level of Eumtaek[陰宅風水] in charge of the location or relocation of royal tombs. At the same time, unlike the early Joseon Dynasty Period, when the meaning of ‘geography=Feng Shui’ was strong, in the late Joseon period, ‘geography concept with a meaning different from that of Feng Shui’, like the usage examples in King Jeongjo’s ‘Geography Policy Questions[地理策問]’, certainly existed.

Full textAbstract:
Feng shui was a part of the cultural heritage of ancient Chinese society mainly used to design buildings and spaces according to the birth date or the basic elements of the owner or the person who occupied a building to achieve harmony and balance with the environment aimed to bring peace and prosperity. Feng shui practices had become a matter of debate among Christians. The question was whether feng shui practices such as calculations in building construction, determining the direction a tomb should face, or finding a date to start a business did not conflict with God's Word. From a non-theological point of view, feng shui was well accepted because it seemed reasonable. This article discussed feng shui from a theological perspective by referring to Colossians 2:8. In the research of this article, the researchers used a qualitative descriptive method with an exposition approach where data collection was obtained from literature studies and interviews. The results of the discussion on this topic showed that theologians concurred that feng shui did not correspond with God's Word, while the Bible interpreted feng shui as a false philosophy. The conclusion drawn was the rejection of feng shui practices by theologians and the Bible.

AbstractHigh mountains in back and facing the sea is an ideal Feng Shui village landscape in Okinawa. Such a location is perfect for semi-agricultural and semi-fishing production.When and how a Feng Shui village came into being is still a myth to the historians. The only complete records of Feng Shui village inspections of Inamine and its close neighbor, Makija hamlets, by Feng Shui masters from 1857 to 1888 exist there. These items of literature allow us to have a rough look at Feng Shui layout in then early-modern Ryukyu. On basis of Feng Shui diaries and remnant huge Fukugi trees, this study aims to clarify the settlement and the development process of Feng Shui village landscape in Okinawa.Tree planting has been highlighted in these Feng Shui diaries. Utakis, the local sacred places usually covered with lush forests, are the primary concern of village Feng Shui. Dense forests were required to be planted on the Feng Shui sites, a spot or an area of significance to the whole village Feng Shui. Tree planting around the houses, along the coastline, and even along rivers has effectively protected the village houses and paddy fields from strong winds. All remnant huge Fukugi trees older than 200 years were found in Muranaha, the hamlet center and also the oldest part of Inamine hamlet. About 14 big trees were standing in village Ho:go, among which 13 were on the coastline. Ho:go is a particular Feng Shui word in Okinawa, literally means embraced protection. Ho:go is also used to refer to forest belts that surround a house, a village or coastline. It is assumed that Ho:go might have been recommended by the central government around 1737-1750 in Okinawa. The biggest tree found in Inamine is estimated to be around 298 years old. From the remnant trees, a number of houses in Inamine might have existed early to 300 years ago. It might have been considered as an administrative hamlet by the central government around 1751, with the planting of village Ho:go. The oldest houses were first built in the center and, with the population increase, later spread to the surrounding areas.

Full textAbstract:
In ancient Chinese architecture, Feng Shui was a prevalent practice used to enhance the built environment. This study utilized computer simulation techniques to assess the effectiveness of Long–Hu Sand layout Feng Shui in the Bailudong Academy complex in Jiangxi, China, compared to a layout without Feng Shui principles. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) were employed to simulate the winter courtyard wind environment, and the resulting simulations were used to analyze the winter courtyard ventilation of both layouts. The findings indicate that the Feng Shui layout provided better wind speed and pressure ratios in the winter courtyard, which were more conducive to human comfort and helped prevent the infiltration of cold winter air. The area of ideal wind pressure difference between the front and back of the main house for indoor ventilation in winter was also larger in the Feng Shui layout compared to the non-Feng Shui layout, meeting the standard for wind environment evaluation. The study highlights the ecological wisdom of ancient Chinese people and confirms that optimizing Feng Shui improves the wind environment of the courtyard in winter. The practical implications of these results include improving comfort and sustainability in contemporary architecture and urban planning.

Full textAbstract:
Feng shui is a traditional Chinese art of creating a supportive living environment. Despite many research contributions on feng shui, very few verify (comparatively or experimentally) the actual effectiveness of feng shui recommendations. Even the architectural profession has never clearly denied its opinion on feng shui. This comparative analysis seeks to determine whether 118 selected feng shui school of form recommendations are consistent with the recommendations of Alexander et al.’s pattern language and with selected findings in environmental psychology. The results support this, showing that 34% of the recommendations (or forty recommendations out of 118 in total) are consistent with pattern language and that 45% (or fifty-three recommendations) are fully or partially consistent with the findings of environmental psychology. Altogether, more than half of the recommendations (57%, or sixty-seven recommendations) are consistent (indirectly confirmed) by one or the other knowledge system, which means that it is very likely that these recommendations will actually have the promised impact on users of physical space. Twenty-seven feng shui recommendations (or 23% out of the 118) are doubly consistent, of which most are related to the five-animals feng shui model, the importance of the presence of water and natural light in the living environment, and the importance of the main entrance. The bulk of the recommendations, which remain unaddressed, relate to the Chinese concept of living energy, or qi.

Chinese feng shui is well-researched in social sciences but under-researched regarding its impact on the well-being of users. The main problem is the isolation of feng shui effects. Participants (n=134) provided a photograph of their bedroom onto which feng shui recommendations were sent long distance (for 4 months), using an instrumental biocommunication device with a computer, white-noise diode and fengshui recommendations database. Three groups were formed, one acted as control (double-blind protocol). Data was collected through self- evaluating questionnaires (n=10) on the quality of sleep and well-being. Data were statistically evaluated with R environment using linear mixed models and the analyses of variables: feng shui support, stress, age and bedroom evaluation. Results for sleep show feng shui as the most statistically significant variable (p=<0.001). For each day the value increases by 0.003 on the Likert scale 1-5. In 120 days, it increases by 0.36. The impact is dynamic and in direct connection with the level of our living environment satisfaction, stress and age. For well-being most statistically significant are stress (p<0.001) and the interaction of feng shui and bedroom rating (p<0.001). Positive feng shui impact is highest for participants without stress and low satisfaction with the bedroom environment.

This article presents the “Christology of Water” from Feng Shui cosmology, which promotes liberating women and nature from the oppression perpetrated against them by contemporary Korean churches, which have sexism and eco-antipathy at their heart. The presentation of the “Christology of Water” from Feng Shui envisions a new eco-feminist theological solution to the critique of patriarchies and anthropocentricism alienating and suppressing women and nature. This “Christology of Water” developed from the metaphorical languages of Feng Shui suggests a contextual hermeneutic through reinterpretation from the eco-feminist perspective.

Bedroom Feng Shui practices have been criticized as myth over the years but in fact having its scientific origin that is not purely superstitious. This paper aims to examine whether the architects' design practice for bedroom interior arrangement is concurring with the recommended bedroom Feng Shui practices. The study has successfully interviewed 16 architects from diverse backgrounds to avoid bias, seeking their design perspectives in bedroom interior configuration. Subsequently, the interviewees submitted sketches of ideal bedroom layout based on their expertise, with pre-set requirements. Data from semi-structured interviews were analyzed using mixed method approach. In agreement with our expectations, majority of the interviewees have matching thoughts that “bed arrangement” is the primary consideration in bedroom interior configuration. Most of the design outputs were highly attached to favorable Feng Shui conditions. The overall findings implied that bedroom Feng Shui is not merely superstitious but most components are practical design references for architects from diverse backgrounds.

The purpose of this study was to examine the applicability of feng shui ideas for sustainable space planning and evaluation in the Korean contemporary architecture system. This study compares theories of feng shui and ecological architecture, draws implications in terms of its practicability with an accreditation system, and explores the possibility of replacing elements from ecological architecture with those of feng shui. First, this study analyzed the terrain, climate, and environment by selecting target sites for planning a hanok, the traditional Korean residence, as a suitable location (called myeong-dang). Simulation assessments were then performed with three-dimensional (3D) mapping techniques to derive the scientific basis of the traditional concept considered in the selection of these spots. Our result from the analysis showed that the terrain element played protective roles for the climate of the region as an environmental control system. Therefore, it can be concluded that feng shui thoughts could be applied to a contemporary architecture system.

Full textAbstract:
The visual identity of a logo has always been one of the major means of expression of social values, and cultural preferences in a particular society. Hence, each area and region logo’s design aesthetic is a style characterized by a particular cultural influence that introduces its principles and canons. Accordingly, a logo is not just a representation of a company or business, in order to fully serve its purpose, the logo representation must illustrate what the company does as well as be able to echo with the social, cultural and geographical features of the targeted region. In this paper, to respond to the research scholarly interest in the cultural influences on design, the researcher has made an attempt to study the influence of Feng Shui on logo design in the Greater China region. Based on an in-depth visual-based survey on banks’ logo design in the Greater China region, the author identified in this paper one unique design characteristic, namely Symbolic Feng Shui logo design. The result showed that (1) there is substantial cultural values and preference for the logo with the influence and application of Feng Shui. (2) Logos based on concepts and forms (particularly ancient Chinese coins) found in Feng Shui were the most preferred visual representation used by banks in the Greater China region. (3) The Symbolic Feng Shui logo as a unique design language has developed into its distinctive style. It is hoped that this paper will provide insights into an understanding of the impact of traditional culture on modern design, particularly on Feng Shui culture-inspired logo design in the Greater China region.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate Feng Shui elements that can influence housing selection and property pricing in the Malaysian housing market.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire encompassing 26 Feng Shui elements, which were shortlisted based on relevant previous studies, was distributed to prospective homebuyers in the Klang Valley region. The elements were inferred and ranked according to frequency, significance and importance scores. Kruskal–Wallis ANOVA tests were used to assess the ratings provided by the different respondent groups, while Spearman's rank correlation tests were utilised to measure the degree of agreement or disagreement among each pair of the ethnic group.FindingsThe results obtained indicate the following as the five most influential elements: orientation, main entrance, street location, house number and living room. Despite a multiethnic and multicultural society in Malaysia, Spearman's rank correlation tests showed that there are no differences in the prioritisation of Feng Shui elements between three distinct ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese and Indian). However, the distribution scores are statistically different between the groups. Comparing income level with Feng Shui inclinations, the three most frequently considered elements across the three income groups consistently include orientation, main entrance and street location.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study are expected to provide guidance to property stakeholders (developers, real estate agencies, architects, local authorities) in their future development projects. For homebuyers, this study serves as a property Feng Shui checklist for home selection and investment.Originality/valueThis study explored the association of Feng Shui principles to housing selection and property pricing based on cultural and income factors. These findings provide useful insights for designing and positioning of residential properties in both primary and secondary housing markets in Malaysia and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
Taking the mausoleums in the main urban area of Nanjing city as the study object, with the support of GIS technology, this paper extracts eight influencing factors (surface roughness, elevation, surface cutting depth, surface peaks, outfall, river system, slope, and aspect) corresponding to geomantic elements (“Long”, “Sha”, “Shui”, and “Xue”) in the geographical environments of mausoleums. The AHP is applied in the correlation weight method to calculate the weights of the eight influencing factors, while the information content method is applied in the grading method to calculate the numerical index of each factor. The feng shui (geomantic) suitability of the mausoleums in the main urban area of Nanjing is evaluated using the AHP-weighted information content method and by combining expert knowledge and experience with mathematical statistical techniques. According to the feng shui (geomantic) suitability evaluation results obtained for the mausoleums in the study area, the relatively low-suitability area accounts for 14.55% of the entire study area, the low-suitability area accounts for 25.40%, the suitable area accounts for 29.13%, the relatively high-suitability area accounts for 22.00%, and the high-suitability area accounts for 8.92%. Finally, through a sensitivity analysis of the model, a verification analysis applied using random mausoleums and a feng shui (geomantic) analysis of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the feng shui (geomantic) suitability evaluation results obtained for the mausoleums analyzed herein are found to be consistent with the actual distribution of the mausoleum sites. The research shows that the AHP-weighted information method based on GIS is suitable for evaluating the feng shui (geomantic) suitability of mausoleums.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I don’tuse the word of “geomancy” but use “feng-shui”, as meaning a set of method and concept for an assessment for environmental impact against human life. Environmental impact assessment, connected with the feng-shui theory of later eras, first began with xiang-zhai (house and community observation), which appeared in the Zhou Period (770~256 BC.), Spring and Autumn/Warring States Periods(770~221 BC.) in China. Now I recognize the meanings of feng-shuiare indicated two kinds. One meaning is a kind of scientific thought through the ancient environmental impact assessment, and another meaning is a method of divination through judgments fortune-telling items. So I will mention about the Japanese history of feng-shuidivided into two kinds of histories. A number of scholars have pointed out the transmission of feng-shui knowledge to Japan, as recorded in the section of the Nihon Shoki (the Book of the ancient Japanese record) which reads: “In 601 AD, a buddhist monk named Kanroku arrived from Paekche (one of the country, ancient Korea) to Japan. As tribute, they brought books of astronomy and geography (same meaning of feng-shui)...”. After this record, terms synonymous with feng-shui can be sporadically seen in the records of ancient Japan. Continuing, in the Book of Ryo-no-gige (chapter of staff inst- ructions) of the 9th century in Japan, it states that 6 yin-yang practitioners of the yin-yang Bureau (Ministry of astronomical and geographical observations) “shall be in charge of divination sticks and souchi (feng-shui)”. Thus, one of the duties of the yin-yang practitioners was souchi. This was a form of divination and observation topography which was a predecessor of the feng-shui theory. Much later in time, we arrive at the Edo Period (1603~1868 AD.). In Wakan-sansai-zue, or Sino-Japanese encyclopaedia from this Period written by Terashima Ryoan, the compass (which developed later) was called a tokei-shin, and it is explained as “an instrument for determining directions and telling time”. According to Terashima Ryoan, it is a compass, like that used in Japan today for kasou (i.e. divining the fortune of a house from its directions and situation). The tokei-shin described by Terashima Ryoan was a “compass for sea navigation” developed further for sea navigation after the invention of the luo-pan (compass) in the Sung Period in China. This “compass for sea navigation” was a simplified version of the luo-pan for land divination (feng-shui), and until very recently, was used as a compass for small boats in Japan. After the luo-pan using a magnetic needle was invented, there is a history in China of using the luo-pan as a surveying instrument, i.e. as a successor of the previous tugui method based on sun shadow measurement. This was not a luo-pan notched with many graduations; rather, it was a luo-pan which attempted to measure accurate directions and angles by using only one type of graduation. This type of luo-pan was also used in Japan in the Edo Period called “banshin- raban”. In the Edo Period, there was active development of mines, and it was necessary to measure accurate bearings and angles for tasks like excavating mine tunnels. In the some of ancient Japanese written historical records, the synonymous words of “Chiri” (in Japanese), or “Dili” (in Chinese) could be recognized as the “geography” which has been used in ancient China. But we know two letters of “feng (wind) and shui (water)” that are widely used today all over the world. When it comes to the Edo period, the name “fuu-sui”, or “geography=Chiri” can be discovered at the time of feng-shui manual named “Kasou-sho”. A book of “Kasou-zukai or feng-shui illustration published in 1798 is commentary various divination ways in the name of “fuu-sui”. Since then, also in many other Edo periods, at the Kasou-sho manual, words and examples of “fuu-sui” are abundantly found, the knowledge of “fuu-sui” as a method of divination had been introduced to Japan. Currently, examples of I know the oldest word of “fuu-sui or feng-shui” in Japan is in a memorial document of “Engaku temple” in the Muromachi era. But I don’t know now that from Muromachi to Edo era, the term of “fuu-sui” has first used in Japan or not. Appeared in a “topography of Youshuu” in the Edo era and “Engaku temple document” in the Muromachi era, “fuu-sui or feng-shui” do not mean the knowledge of “geography” associated with land observations, but means a method how to judge right and wrong about their environmental conditions. We therefore, can recognize about the meaning of “Chiri” that there were two kinds or more of knowledge in Edo era. A Japanese geographer in Edo era named Nyoken Nishikawa wrote his book (1712). His book tells us an example of meaning of “Chiri”. Nyoken Nishikawa said that ranging from one of the house to the entire earth, “Chiri or geography” have various levels of meaning. “Fuu-sui” means “geographical conditions” themselves. There are good or bad conditions in “Chiri” itself, but not exist in human environmental judgments. “Geography” itself means environmental conditions, so there was no need to judge human environment good or bad. However, in the medieval period, Yin-yang diviner or fuu-sui master in Japan had broken out over wide area and using the name of “Chiri or geography”, explaining about the vicissitudes of descendant life, as a result of their adverse effects do not converge till now. At the time of Japan, there were many Yin-yang diviners preached weal or woe of human life for the common people. As the time passed, they were gradually increasing and Kasou-sho were also gradually increasing. Today in Japan and East Asia, we can take many books of feng-shui judgment and Kasou documents in our hand. These are filled with bothersome non-scientific judgment items. And because there are many different items in each feng-shui manuals, of course these books are fortune-telling books, but we can also find “some vestiges of scientific thought” in such feng-shui fortune-telling judgment items. European awareness about the declination was the end of 14th century, that is to say several hundred years later for China. Chinese direction finding methods and land surveying technology and knowledge, whose development was motivated by feng-shui divination and observation, subsequently spread to Europe (12th century) and Arabia (13th century). Therefore, today we must take another look at feng-shui research, on a global scale.

Chinese temples of kelenteng in Pecinan Semarang area resemble Chinese temples in Fujian and Guangdong provinces in Southern China. As the building to worship of Budha, Tao, and Confucius, kelenteng is built by applying “feng shui” principles as tradition in arranging space pattern. The application of “feng shui” in Chinese kelenteng constitutes the choice of location, site plan, the placement of God and Goddess statues and the usage of color in the ornamentation. Since its establishment until now the application of “feng shui” in Chinese kelenteng seems unchanged. As the asset of Semarang City, kelenteng is expected to remain eternal because kelenteng can show a characteristic identity or an image of Pecinan or China town complex; as well this complex can be tourism destination in Central Java.

Full textAbstract:
Background In a global effort to design better hospital buildings for people and organizations, some design principles are still surrounded by great mystery. The aim of this online study was to compare anxiety in an existing single-bed inpatient hospital room with three redesigns of this room in accordance with the principles of Golden Ratio, Feng Shui, and Evidence-Based Design. Methods In this online multi-arm parallel-group randomized trial participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1:1) to one of four conditions, namely Golden Ratio condition, Feng Shui condition, Evidence-Based Design condition, or the control condition. The primary outcomes were anxiety, sense of control, social support, positive distraction, and pleasantness of the room. Findings Between June 24, 2022, and August 22, 2022, 558 individuals were randomly assigned to one of the four conditions, 137 participants to the control condition, 138 participants to the Golden Ratio condition, 140 participants to the Feng Shui condition, and 143 participants to the Evidence-Based Design condition. Compared with baseline, participants assigned to the Evidence-Based Design condition experienced less anxiety (mean difference -1.35, 95% CI -2.15 to -0.55, Cohen’s d = 0.40, p < 0.001). Results also showed a significant indirect effect of the Feng Shui condition on anxiety through the pleasantness of the room (B = -0.85, CI = -1.29 to -0.45) and social support (B = -0.33, CI = -0.56 to -0.13). Pleasantness of the room and social support were mediators of change in anxiety in the Evidence-Based Design and Feng Shui conditions. In contrast, application of the design principle Golden Ratio showed no effect on anxiety and remains a myth. Interpretation To our knowledge, this is the first randomized controlled trial linking design principles directly to anxiety in hospital rooms. The findings of our study suggest that Feng Shui and Evidence-Based Design hospital rooms can mitigate anxiety by creating a pleasant looking hospital room that fosters access to social support. Clinical trial registration The trial is registered with ISRCTN, ISRCTN10480033.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the history and cases of Nizang(逆葬, locating the graves of descendants behind those of ancestors) during the Joseon Dynasty through the application of the Zhaomu system and exceptional situations in the imperial graves of the Ming and Qing dynasties. When building graves, ritual features and Feng Shui play an important role. Ritual features include the Zhaomu system and the hierarchy based on Confucian thought. On the other hand, in terms of Feng Shui, they wanted to find an auspicious place and prayed for the success of descendants through propitious places. These characteristics meet the circumstances of the times and create various characteristic phenomena. It was reflected not only in the construction of the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties but also in the graves of the royal family and nobles of Joseon. Before the mid-Joseon Dynasty, the issue of Nizang or Daozang was not a problem, so it seemed to be accepted naturally. They used any place excellent for Feng Shui, even behind their ancestors’ graves. However, in the middle and late Joseon Dynasty, antipathy toward Nizang, Daozang, and Yazang grew, and a culture that took issue with it began to appear. Therefore, with the establishment of the Neo-Confucian hierarchy and the complex effect of various situational factors, Yeokjang became a taboo in Feng Shui.

Full textAbstract:
In this essay I will examine the question to what extent the Philippine production Feng Shui (Roño, 2004) is a horror film according to the well-established (Western) definitions of the genre. This seems to be a pertinent question as many Filipino horror films are based on ghost stories and folklore from the archipelago, that are often a lived reality and believed in by many people in the Philippines. The fact that Feng Shui as well as other horror films from Southeast Asia are produced for an audience that actually believes in ghosts seems to me to be very relevant for the analysis of these films. I will argue that Feng Shui shares a good number of traits with other Asian ghost films, but that it also features “the return of the repressed” that according to the late film critic Robin Wood is one of the defining features of Western horror movies.
