What we believe about feng shui
Feng shui is a traditional Chinese practice of arranging a space so that it supports the people in it. We treat it as a practical design system rather than a magic one — the classical rules have a lot to say about light, proportion, circulation, rest and clarity, and those are good things to get right whether or not you credit qi.
Where a rule has a clear physical basis — a bed away from a window, a mirror off the axis of the bed, a door that lets you see who is coming in — we say so plainly. Where a rule is genuinely symbolic, we say that too. We do not sell charms, we do not claim to predict the future, and we do not tell you to move house over a number on the door.
Every guide on this site names its sources: classical texts such as the Book of the Law of the Yellow Emperor, the Zang Shu and the Yang Zhai San Yao, the Eight Mansions and Xuan Kong Flying Stars schools, and the body of modern practitioner writing that has grown up around them. Our editorial policy explains how we decide what to publish.
