How the World was Fooled with Divination Disguised as Feng Shui?

In my previous article, I have defined the difference between Divination and Astrology. Here I would like to discuss Divination with Feng Shui. Divination is a separate art from Feng Shui but to an unknown person, it seems the same thing. Before I begin lets define them individually.

In Chinese metaphysics, it is divided into 5 categories and hence sometimes referred to as 5 arts of Chinese metaphysics or in short Chinese Five Arts. They are namely:

Divination 卜
Astrology 命
Physiognomy 相
Medicine 医
Mountains 山

Feng Shui falls under physiognomy because it is related to the physical features of the land. What are then the physical features of a land.

The well-known ancient Feng Shui masters have no more than 5 generations of feng shui lineage, and even the genetics order have changed completely after 5 generations.

Moreover, even Yang Gong’s feng shui theory, with the passing of time, errors are gradually exposed. Ancestral theories cannot reach the pinnacle of any feng shui school’s practice, otherwise there will be no theoretical development and evolution.

My comment is that while this is sometimes true, be careful with the word Lineage because some are misusing it for personal gains when they do not actually have a lineage. Anyway, this is not some thing that you can easily ascertain. Some do have a lineage and lineage is important because it is prove of a working system. This is the reason why many likes to claim a lineage.
