DEDICATION

I like to dedicate this short Ebook to the two giants of Chinese astrology,
Grandmaster Wei Qian Lee and Grandmaster Tan Seng Chor. Grandmaster Tan Seng
Chor was my grandfather and Grandmaster Wei was Grandmaster Tan’s astrology
fellow. Both inspired me to learn Chinese astrology and Fengshui, to help more
people to change their lives for the better.
The Need For Fengshui from the
Beginning
In 2004, the Chinese found a tombstone in Henan that dated to more than 6,000 years
ago. They studied the tombstone and found that the design adhered to Fengshui principles.
This indicated that humans already had a strong sense of how their lives could be shaped
by their environment and therefore, birthed and refined the art of Fengshui.

Before they can apply these theories to the tombstones, they would have applied the same
theories to the living so that they could live comfortably. They understood that their
community needed to have a safe living environment with sufficient resources before they
could even talk about developing its people to achieve greater things in life.
Fengshui
was
originally
known as
Kanyu
Kanyu in Mandarin

means incorporating

the ways of heaven.

Many Kanyu experts

specialise in

assessing soil

conditions.
The Need For Fengshui from the
Beginning
The term “Fengshui” means wind and water in Mandarin Chinese. The early inhabitants
of China had to find a spot to settle down, where they could survive and hopefully
flourished. Such spots would mean that the wind must not be too strong or too weak. The
wind had to be gentle enough so that it brought comfort to the people. If the wind was
too strong, it could wipe out the entire village. Those who are currently living in such
areas, can attest to how wind can potentially destroy the entire settlement. How can you
even develop the people to achieve greatness when you cannot even secure their survival?

The same theory applies to water. If the water flow was too strong, it could cause damage
to villages that were situated nearby. Gentle water flow meant that the village could live
nearer to the stream, improving their lifestyle and increase work productivity.
Balance is
the key in
Fengshui
Modern Fengshui
practitioners often
say that water equals
prosperity. Hence,
the more the better.
That may not be the
case. How much
water a place needs
really depends on
the natural
environment.
The Rise Of Fengshui
Fengshui remained a mystery to the public even though the imperial court was already
relying on the concepts for many important matters. It made sense too because it was the
imperial court that needed to decide the locations of important installations or cities.
Therefore, the imperial court needed government officials who specialised in this area.

The imperial family needed people with Fengshui skills to determine the locations of
important buildings and structures because the wrong choices could make/break entire
populations and caused irreparable damages for many generations.
Luopan is a
compass
used by
Fengshui
Masters
There are many different

types of Fengshui

Luopans and each is

designed for special

assessment purposes.

Even my Luopan is

specially designed for my

own use.
Yang Jun Song (aka Yang Gong)
Yang Gong is a famous Fengshui master during the Tang Dynasty. He

was widely known for his Fengshui skills and imparting his skills to the

public. He was also known as the founder of Fengshui because he was

the first to properly organise the knowledge. He left behind many

Fengshui building master pieces in Ganzhou and was famous for

helping the poor to transform their lives for the better through

Fengshui.

He had written many Fengshui classics which are still being studied by

many Fengshui practitioners around the world. He later imparted his

Fengshui knowledge to his disciple Zeng Wen Chan who later

transformed Fengshui and brought it to new heights. Even now, one

can still find the Zeng Yang Fengshui method inside the Tongzhi book

that is used by Fengshui practitioners throughout the world.


Main
Door
The main door is one of
the most important aspect
to take note of when
assessing residential
Fengshui. The size and
colour play an important
role in ensuring the well-
being of the household
members.
Zeng Wen Chan (First Disciple of
Yang Gong)
Zeng Wen Chan was living in seclusion in Yudu Huang Shansi Temple, and happened to meet Yang
Gong. Yang Gong just ran away from the Imperial Palace of Tang Dynasty, to become a Monk in
Yudu Huang Shansi Temple. Then on, Zeng Wen Chan became the first disciple of Yang Gong. Zeng
Wen Chan devoted himself to learning Yang Gong Fengshui ever since.

Yang Gong liked to wander around the world and had no intention of settling down, but Zeng Wen
Chan wanted to look for an auspicious place to settle down together.

One day, Zeng Wen Chan discovered the San Liao village and assessed that this place was very good.
He informed Yang Gong and explained that an Liao village has the Golden Gate and Jade Seal, which
makes it an auspicious place. People who lived there will have descendants who will eventually become
government officials for many generations. As soon as Yang Gong heard the explanation, he went to
have a closer look and told Zeng Wen Chan that it is really a good place to produce Fengshui masters.
Yang Gong said “Whoever lives here, his descendants will carry their Chinese Compass, travel far and
beyond and doing Fengshui for others."

After Yang Gong passed on, Zeng Wen Chan created the Emperor Fengshui at the instruction of the
government and taught Fengshui to his descendants.
Colours
The Chinese love the colour
red during Lunar New Year
but that does not mean it is
suitable for everyone.
Colours must be carefully
chosen so that it suits the
personal elements of the
household members.
Zeng Wen Zheng (Son of Zeng Wen
Chan)
Zeng Wen Zheng loved studying Fengshui since young. Therefore, he was very
well-versed with Fengshui theories by the time he was a young adult. Through the
recommendation of a high government official, he was summoned to the
imperial Beijing court for an audience with the emperor. After an exchange, the
emperor decided to bring the young man under his wing and put his geomancy
skill to good use.
Fengshui
is not
fixed
There is no one-size-
fits-all Fengshui
solution for all living
spaces. Fengshui is like
water, changing its
shape so that it fits the
form of the situation.

Different
Types of
Fengshui
Methods
There is a special type
of Fengshui school in
Taiwan that does not
rely on the Luopan
compass. Instead of
the Luopan compass,
they use a walking stick
for assessment.
Different Fengshui Sects
Fengshui started to evolve throughout the years, to suit the needs of the people. Some started to specialise in
assessing the soil quality and others in alignment of buildings according to the planet constellations. As
astrologers started to understand about the planet constellations and how it affects events on earth, two main
branches of Fengshui started to form.

1) Xing Shi Sect – Xing Shi means Landform in Mandarin. They focus on the landform and how it affects
the living environment. Popular in Jiangxi area.
2) Li Qi Sect – Li Qi means Energy Management in Mandarin. They focus on energy and auspicious
directions. Popular in Fujian area.

Both sects claim that their branch of Fengshui is better but both relies on the same fundamentals of
Fengshui. The only difference is how they carry out their Fengshui assessments.
Traditional
Fengshui
did not
focus on the
washroom
In the past, washrooms
were not located within
the house and were often
built outside the house. As
house design changed,
Fengshui also had to
change so that it could
analyse the impact of
washrooms within the
house.
Xing Shi Fengshui
The founders of this Fengshui branch are Yang Gong and Zeng Wen Chan. They
focus on locating the energy spots along the mountain ranges and assess how the
various landforms affect the living environment or tombstones. This branch of
Fengshui deals more with the quality of earth and landforms. People can
understand these concepts more easily. Therefore, it is more popular with
Fengshui practitioners.

Many Xing Shi Fengshui theories are almost similar to modern civil and
geotechnical engineering principals.
Xing Shi
Fengshui
Xing Shi Fengshui pays a
lot of attention on
locating the auspicious
spots along mountain
ranges. Many emperors
sent Fengshui masters to
locate such spots for
imperial burials so that
their descendants could
enjoy good fortune.
Li Qi Fengshui
This branch of Fengshui is very popular in Fujian area. They focus on the
principals of the Eight Hexagrams and Five Elements. It lost popularity at one
time and to regain its popularity, its practitioners started to rebrand their
Fengshui and claimed that they shared the same founders as Xing Shi Fengshui,
which are Master Yang Gong and Zeng Wen Chan. Nevertheless this form of
Fengshui complements the Xing Shi Fengshui and today both are almost
inseparable.
Li Qi
Fengshui
Li Qi Fengshui pays a
lot of attention to how
the star constellations
affects the relationship
between the home
owner and his/ her
home. They try to
harmonise the energy
of the home and the
owner so that he/ she
can enjoy a fortunate
life.
Fengshui Today
The Fengshui that we practise today has evolved. It is now a combination of Xing Shi
and Li Qi Fengshui. Both branches of Fengshui use the Luopan compass for
Fengshui audits and assessments.

The modern Fengshui has also changed so that it can be used to assess high-rise
buildings. As the living environment becomes more dense, buildings might go
underground and Fengshui will have to evolve to suit changing times.

Fengshui is now very popular in both the West and East. Many people are starting to
see the benefits of Fengshui and use it to harmonise their lives and living conditions.
Happy
Home
Happy
Life
Fengshui is very
popular with people
living in the West and
East. Fengshui can be
used to harmonise your
home to suit you so
that you enjoy a happy
life.
