Feng Shui is an Ancient wisdom from China. Feng means wind and Shui means water. People use the wind and water to discover the location and influence these energies. According to the contours and shapes of the mountains and water people are able to find the best energy locations. Feng Shui has been around for over five thousand years. The use of Feng Shui was limited to the Emperor and wealthy people to solidify their power. The Feng Shui Master was honored and loyal to the Emperor, as the Emperor directly consulted the Master on all decisions. During the civil uprising in the Tang Dy nasty (618-907 AD), the Prime Minister, Mr. Young Kwun Chung, who was also the Feng Shui Master, escaped. It was at that time the knowledge of Feng Shui became available to the common people ("Feng Shui" Yahoo). Feng Shui is based on a centuries-old belief that rooms, furniture and other surroundings should be arranged in harmony with nature to ensure health, wealth, and happiness.
