Geomantic Rules in the Living Room
Chinese people attach importance to the science of Geomancy - study of the influence of landscape (hills, river, layout of land or house) on people and their fortunes. Most people ask geomancers to choose good and propitious sites for houses or ancestors' graves. The rules of Geomancy are made from the ancients' wide-spreading experiences of life. Some people think of Geomancy as superstition, because they don't understand it. Now we can give reasonable explanations to the rules of Geomancy. On Geomantic theory, the living room is the most important room in our house. The Geomancy of living room affects us many things, such as family members' health, relations between a husband and a wife, luck in making money and so on.
