Basically, Feng shui is a system based on very close observation of objects, the forces of nature include heaven (time) and earth (inner and outer space) and the "qi" of the elements.

Legend has it that Feng shui was formed very early, since ancient times people have paid attention to the effects of nature on their lives, so they have made a purposeful choice.

The primitives of Feng shui are the experiences of living such as carving rocks, digging caves, building houses... From real life and the harshness of nature, people have known to choose residence locations covered by mountains, surround, and approach water sources and rivers.
