Feng shui (
i/ /;
/ /;
pinyin:
fēng shuǐ,
pronounced [fɤ́ŋ ʂwèi] (
listen)) is a
Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing the human existence with the surrounding environment. The term
feng shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English. This is a cultural shorthand taken from the passage of the now-lost
Classic of Burial recorded in
Guo Pu's
commentary: Feng Shui is one of the Five Arts of Chinese Metaphysics, classified as Physiognomy (observation of appearances through formulas and calculations). The Feng Shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of "invisible forces" that bind the Universe, Earth, and man together, known as
qi/
chi/
energy.
