摘要

Fengshuishu(风水术)is a long-standing skill which had great influences in Chinese history.Mystical and even superstitious as it seems to be,it still contains some truth of the nature which the ancient Chinese believed,including some elements known as science today.Just as ancient witch doctors created traditional Chinese medicine and ancient alchemists developed chemistry and led to the invention of the explosives,Fengshuishu also had great contribution to the development of ancient Chinese architectural ecology,the accumulation of the knowledge of ancient geography and hydrology,and the invention and dissemination of the compass.
