Китайская геомантия

Dowsing. Home culture. Environment. Harmony with nature... These concepts, which only recently entered the modern lexicon, were predicted by Chinese civilization centuries ago. The first Western researchers called the new cultural phenomenon Chinese geomancy. Now science has adopted the actual Chinese designation – feng shui, i.e. “winds and currents”. No matter how you look at Chinese geomancy - as an occult science, quasi-science, parascience, a system of ancient superstitions, or the science of the third millennium - it is clearly and visibly present in the modern appearance of the Chinese world. This book sets itself the task of preparing the Russian reader for the perception of Chinese geomancy using the best examples of world sinology, which compare favorably with many immature and superficial experiences of recent times. The book presents translations from the works of Ernst Eitel, Johann de Groot, and Joseph Needham. The book is the first well-chosen compendium of basic information about Feng Shui in Russian, prepared by a sinologist.
