Schools of Feng Shui
When the ancient Chinese started using Feng Shui 3000 years ago, it was known as the art of KanYu. KanYu studied and observed the forces between heaven and earth. At this time Feng Shui was still in its infancy. It based its study only on the principles of Yin and Yang and the 5 elements. Over the centuries Chinese philosophers have made additions to the knowledge of Feng Shui and have passed it down to their students. As time passed new findings were added to Feng Shui and old theories were refined. The period when the Tang Dynasty ruled is considered the golden era of KanYu. During this period the San He system of Feng Shui emerged as the most important ideology.
San He is considered the oldest form of Classical Feng Shui. The San He School gave great importance to environmental features like mountains, topography of the land and water. The direction, shape, flow and appearance of these features became important components to consider before construction of a building. Around 1640, towards the end of the reign of the Ming Dynasty new ideology was born. It was called San Yuan. San Yuan was based on the same principles as San He. The point of departure being that San Yuan gave greater importance to the aspect of "Time", where as San He concentrated on physiognomy that is appearance, form and flow of the features of the environment especially water.
An important thing to remember is that in the genuine form of KanYu or Feng Shui each formula has a specific function. And these functions are divided into the following types:
--Corrective- to remedy existing problems
--Constructive- to improve wealth, health or create certain result
--Predictive-to reveal and understand the past, explain the present and foretell the future
Feng Shui is a technique to manipulate 'Chi' based on study of natural and artificial environments. 'Chi' is difficult to explain and to understand. It is energy that is present through out the universe. It present in all energy and matter. 'Chi' is the life giving force of the universe. The Form School of Feng Shui studies the flow of 'chi' in the external environment that is in rivers, lakes, mountains, natural and artificial landscapes and architecture. The Compass School of Feng Shui studies the flow of 'chi' and its effects in the internal environment of natural and artificial structures and incorporates some aspects of the external environment. It has been found that combining the two schools gives you a more complete and more effective method of 'chi' manipulation.
A few other Schools of Feng Shui are:
--Xuan Kong also known as Flying Stars base their theories on formulations that date back to several thousand years from observations made by Chinese scholars and philosophers. This school of Feng Shui is considered to be the highest from of Feng Shui and is held in the highest of regard in the East.
--Ba Zhai, Eight House, Eight Mansions or East-West Theory is another school of Chinese Feng Shui. This school too has been formulated over years based on the observation of Chinese scholars and sages. It is a respected form of Feng Shui in the Eastern World, though this philosophy does not take into consideration the age of the house while making prediction.
--Black Hat Tantric Sect Tibetan Buddhist Feng Shui known as Black Hat, Black Sect or BTB is a famous modern school of Feng Shui. But this school of Feng Shui has been condemned by a large number of Chinese scholars. These scholars say that this branch of Feng Shui has been fabricated by Thomas Lin Yun, and is not based Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. Traditional practitioners believe that BTB is psuedo-Feng Shui and has been created to make money, by creating a product and then marketing it skillfully. This school is very popular in the West as it is easy to learn, apply and does not need any understanding of ancient Chinese philosophy.
