The History of Feng Shui and Real Estate
The ancient Chinese thought the layout of the land could affect the fate of an entire kingdom. For instance, if the capital city was built on land that boasted good features such as mountains and rivers then that country would prosper. If it were built on land that carried harsh winds or bad magnetic energy, the country would suffer catastrophes.
Likewise, if an emperor were buried on or near landforms with positive energy, his dynasty would last and he would have many descendants. If he were buried on or near landforms with negative energy, his dynasty would fall. In fact, kan yu was first used only by nobility to select burial sites that would ensure the longevity of their regimes. . It wasn’t until hundreds of years later during the Chin dynasty (265-420 CE) that kan yu was adopted by ordinary citizens as a way of choosing the best real estate.
