The Classic of the Green Bag Volume 3 (Feng Shui)

The Classic of the Green Bag, an early Chinese text on feng shui, establishes the foundational principles of this practice. It concisely explains the interplay of yin and yang, the flow of qi, and the influence of celestial and terrestrial forces. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding these elements to harmonize human existence with the natural world. Using concepts like the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements, it outlines methods for analyzing landscapes and optimizing the flow of energy for beneficial outcomes. The core message centers on achieving transformation through the balance and understanding of these cosmological forces.
