feng shui
| Ancient Chinese skill of keeping a balance of forces in the land. The land is regarded as living, and as reflecting the pattern of heaven, so that any development must be in harmony with this pattern. |
| When building or planting, or altering the landscape in any way, and when choosing a grave site for an ancestor, the traditional Chinese aim to balance the forces of yin and yang, the two counter-balancing forces of the universe. For example, hills and mountains are pictured as dragons, full of yin, while valleys are seen as tigers, embodying the balancing yang force. |
