 Taoism
(or call Tao, Dao) was a religion and philosophical system well established in
China. Taoism, otherwise known as the way (or the other
way), existed alongside the established ideals of
Confucianism and in some respects offered an alternative.
The philosophy of Taoism was developed more than 2000 years
ago from old traditions of foretelling and the worship of
nature, which is the resource of Feng Shui.
In the past, many Chinese would temporarly leave the
business and pressures of life and return to nature, either
in the countryside or at a mountain retreat. This allowed
them to rest and be healed, and during this time they might
paint, write poetry or compose music in an attempt to absorb
the positive forces at the heart of nature itself. This
practice also instilled in the Chinese a very positive
approach to life itself, for their health, well-being and
vitality.
Chi (or Ch'i) is the most important component in Feng
Shui, Chi encompasses everything and holds together all the
different aspects and factors involved in Feng Shui. Chi
cannot be seen, heard or felt, it does not register upon any
of our senses. It's the virtual energy and force that flows
all around. A house situated on a particular site with
healthy environment will be subject to highly positive and
beneficial Chi, it will help to produce a prosperous life or
business environment. Feng Shui is basically the arrangement
of environment to enable us to benefit from the good effects
of Chi. There are three main conditions of Chi:
- Sheng Chi (beneficial Chi)
- It links to a good Feng Shui
- Si Chi (unhealthy Chi) - It
links to a bad Feng Shui
- Sha Chi (harmful Chi) - It
links to a Killing Feng Shui
