Feng shui

Feng Shui (simplified Chinese: 风水; traditional Chinese: 風水) is a Chinese system of luck. It has to do with the laws which help one improve luck.

Feng Shui means "wind and water" in Chinese. It was invented by the Taoists. Feng Shui has "five elements", they are: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. These elements are set up in a specific way: Fire makes Earth, Earth creates Metal, Metal holds Water, Water nurtures Wood, and Wood feeds Fire. Also, Earth dams Water, Water extinguishes Fire, Fire melts Metal, Metal cuts Wood, and Wood consumes Earth.

Many people implement Feng Shui's philosophies in their everyday lives. There are multiple Feng Shui schools, such as "The Western School of Feng Shui" and "The American Feng Shui Institute"
