PRINCIPLES OF FENG-SHUI, Introduction

F
eng-shui is based on the Taoist vision and experience of nature, in particular the idea that the land is alive and filled with energy. Taoism classifies natural features as yin (shadow, female) or yang (light, male). Water is yin, and mountains are yang. Earth is yin, and sky is yang. When water meets mountains or clouds drop from the sky to embrace the earth, nourishing energy is generated. Mountains that seem to disappear and reappear because of shifting clouds are said to contain tremendous energy.
