Lfeng shui has been an art of living for thousands of years. The terms Feng and Shui mean wind and water. More than 6000 years ago, ancient civilizations were born on the banks of the Lo River in China. This region was precisely devastated by floods which ruined both crops and homes. One day around 4000 BC, a man named Fu Hsi landscaped the banks of the river and suddenly the floods subsided. While meditating along the banks of the Lo, Fu Hsi saw a turtle climbing the bank and marveled at the pattern that adorned its carapace with black and white dots. Everyone knows that the turtle in some Asian countries is a symbol of eternal happiness, endowed with great spiritual value. Fu Hsi then noticed that the dots were arranged so that their addition, vertically, horizontally or diagonally, always gave the sum of 15. This is what is known today as the magic square. It forms the foundation of many schools of Feng Shui.
The Chinese regarded Feng Shui as a philosophy of life allowing them to live in harmony with nature. Moreover, all the architects of the great Chinese monuments, such as the Forbidden City in Beijing or the Great Wall of China, were inspired by the principles of Feng Shui to give their construction the harmonious breath necessary for their integration into nature.
