Feng Shui Shite

Just caught the introduction of a Feng Shui doco on ABC. The narrrator said something to the effect of 'We will cover the history of this ancient science...'

I nearly fell off my bloody chair when the bloke called it a 'science'. It's an art, a tradition, a way of living, a collection of superstitions. Whatever it is, it is NOT a science.

Nice work, ABC. Keep spending those taxpayer dollars. Idiots.

I agree that feng shui is not science, however environments planned according to the tradition and the art are very harmonious and not seldom beautiful...
Maybe he ment that it was considered as a science back in the old days?

It is not a science with todays measures though!

Perhaps. Who can tell. Apparently it disappear in China, because of the cultural revolution, and only survived in Hong Kong.

I don't mind wind charms though.
