Geomancy, commonly known as "Feng-Shui", has a four thousand years history dating back to ancient China. Chinese legend told of a giant tortoise, bearing the nine-grid Lo Shu Diagram on its shell, emerged to the surface of water and surprised the people around. The discovery of the Lo Shu Diagram promoted the further development of Feng-Shui.

According to official Chinese historical records, "Hemjy" (another name for Geomancy meaning heaven and earth) was first known in SiGei in Han Dynasty. (SiGei is the first proper historical record in China.) The four famous gurus in Tang and Sung Dynasties including the well known Lai Bo Ee further developed and enhanced the application and popularity of Feng-Shui. Up to Yuen, Ming, and Ching Dynasties, gurus Chiang Tai Hung and Sim Chuk Nai dominated the period. They developed and formulated important criteria for the Three Phases and Nine-Bi-Decades Theory. Sim in his important writing, Sim's Metaphysics Theory stated that Feng-Shui has a revolving characteristic of effects in different directions and periods due to the changing of the nine flying stars in the Three Phases and Nine-Bi-Decades periods.

Feng-Shui is the product of thousand years' experience of Chinese, the 5 elements (Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Earth) knowledge, Hexagram and the Nine Flying Stars. A person's destiny and fortune after birth is fixed by his/her birth time, and Feng-Shui is one of the tools that affect or modify or adjust your fortune, and may ultimately help to achieve your expectations.

Feng-Shui is divided into two broad categories: the YANG Dwelling and YIN Dwelling dealing with housing for the living people and the dead respectively. And the practices are classified mainly into:
 

	Environment Fung-Shui Theory
	Eight Housing Theory
	Flying Stars Theory

For the YIN Dwelling, people look for a burial ground for their dead parent(s) / grandparent(s), the right selection of sites benefits them and influences their future and/or fate of their descendants. However, following by the increase of population of human beings and restrictions of burial grounds, finding a distinctive, isolated ground that suit most of the YIN Dwelling Feng-Shui requirements with ample front and back surrounding space is increasingly difficult.

For a suitable burial site, the Environment Feng-Shui and Flying Stars practices are the key theories to rely on. The factors under consideration are:

DRAGON:   The trend of aggregation and dispersion of the lively force of landscape (mountains and water) XUE:   The key site where the landscape's lively force tends to aggregate and rest on SHA:   The surrounding environmental condition of the site WATER:   The situation of the water flows and/or lakes, seas that vitalize the site  BACKING AND DIRECTION:   The orientation of the site which matches the suitable backing and facing direction

In the YANG Dwelling category, all three theories are relevant in terms of the selection of a good site for individual dwellings. A good house is a place where people live in comfortably and which is able to magnify your good fortune. Flying Stars Theory emphasizes on the continuing changes of effects Fung-Shui has on the dwelling which affect the living individual who dwells in it. Since the stars in the cosmic space circulate around the orbits and interacting forces continue to affect our environment, the Feng-Shui optimal directions will also vary with time as stated in Sim's Metaphysics Theory. Nothing is fixed and everything is influenced by the switching Nine Flying Stars and the coupling effect of the stars of backing and facing directions of your house.

Time dimension relating to Feng-Shui is divided into 3 phases: upper, medium, and lower phases (each phase means 180 years). Each phase is sub-divided into nine bi-decades (nine 20-years). Year 1999 is within the lower phase 7th bi-decade.

The Eight Housing, stresses on a static Feng-Shui effect on individual depending on one's birth year. The theory classifies people into 2 types: east four life and west four life. Different life type has different Feng-Shui effects in the main eight directions. And the effects descend in the following order:

Prosperity Longevity Nourishment Hibernation Irritation Spook Disaster Death

For example, a female born in 1989 has the same eight housing life type of Sun with eight characteristics as follows:

SOUTH EAST Hibernation SOUTH Nourishment SOUTH EAST Spook EAST Longevity   WEST Irritation NORTH EAST Death NORTH Prosperity NORTH EAST Disaster

Environment Theory is an important assertion in comfortable dwelling layout. The criteria set by the theory on the main internal layout and external environment requirement is important in Feng-Shui practice.
