What is feng shui?
Feng shui is an ancient art and science that was institutionalized over 3,000 years ago in China. If we refer to literal translation, feng means “wind” and shui means “water”. In Chinese culture, water and wind are related to good health, so we can come to this conclusion that good feng shui brings good fortune. On the other hand, bad feng shui means misfortune.
