Feng Shui or The Rudiments of Natural Science in China is a comprehensive book written by Ernest J. Eitel that explores the ancient Chinese practice of Feng Shui. The book delves into the history, philosophy, and principles of Feng Shui, which is based on the belief that the arrangement of objects and spaces can affect the flow of energy or chi in a person's life. Eitel provides a detailed analysis of the various Feng Shui systems and their applications, including the use of compasses, the placement of furniture and objects, and the importance of the five elements. He also discusses the role of Feng Shui in Chinese culture, including its influence on architecture, urban planning, and even politics. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Feng Shui, such as its origins, the symbolism of numbers and colors, and the use of Feng Shui in gardens and landscapes. Eitel also includes practical advice on how to apply Feng Shui principles in one's own life, including tips on how to choose a favorable location for a home or business, and how to arrange furniture and d�����cor for maximum benefit. Overall, Feng Shui or The Rudiments of Natural Science in China is a comprehensive guide to the ancient practice of Feng Shui, offering readers a deep understanding of its principles, history, and practical applications.1873. This is a short monograph about Feng Shui, the principle of humanity being in balance with its surroundings. Eitel, a missionary, who took a post in China, first brought Feng Shui to the attention of the western world over a century ago. Because of his Christian doctrine, Eitel is somewhat dismissive of Chinese culture, but he grudgingly admits that there may be some grain of truth in Feng Shui.
