Explanation of Feng Shui in doing Feng Shui
Feng Shui is originally the art of looking at the ground, that is, a method of checking geography on the spot. It is also called topography, and it was also called the art of geography in ancient times. The relatively complete Feng Shui knowledge originated in the Warring States Period. The core idea of Feng Shui is the harmony between man and nature. In the early days, Feng Shui was mainly related to methods and principles such as the location, orientation, and construction of palaces, residences, villages, and cemeteries. The original meaning was the science of choosing suitable places.
In Feng Shui, people pay attention to "searching for dragon points". Ancient people discovered that the ground and underground water have different compositions in different regions. Water containing specific compositions nourishes the local soil for a long time. The mineral composition of the soil reaches a special ratio, which creates an environment that is extremely suitable for animal and plant life. This special soil is called Longsha. Therefore, the ancients believed that it could bring wealth and other good luck to people, which led the ancients to search for areas with dragon sand based on some topography, animal and plant characteristics. This formed the folklore discipline known as "Yin Yang Feng Shui" in ancient times, which later generations simply called "Feng Shui". The search for dragon sand is called "Looking for Dragon Point Cave". The earliest clear book recording the method of finding dragon sand is "Lianshan Yi".
Feng Shui pays attention to Qi: The ancients believed that the Qi of heaven and earth interact with each other, which is the basis for the growth of all things. This truth can be seen from the changes in cold and heat, the movement of the sun and the moon, and the alternation of day and night. The air of heaven and earth moves in an orderly manner. Grasping this law is the foundation of Feng Shui. The position of the door is determined by the position of the door. That is, where the door is opened, that direction is used as the position of the door. The ancients believed that the living environment is inseparable from Qi, and only with Qi can there be life. As the saying goes, people compete for a breath of air, and Buddhas compete for a furnace of incense. People rely on this breath to survive. The flow of Qi will inevitably produce an Qi field, and the door is the only way for the Qi field to enter and exit.

When we stand at the center of the house and face the door, the direction we are facing is "Xiang", and the direction opposite to "Xiang" is "Sitting". No matter what the shape of the house is, the direction of sitting and facing must be relative. For example, if the main door faces west, the house faces east and west.
