For thousands of years, the ancient art form of Feng Shui has played a major role in Chinese life.
Feng Shui means ‘wind and water’ and it is based on an appreciation of the relationship
between people and the environment. It involves changing the design of your living or working
space to improve your fortune For instance, soon after a Hong Kong millionaire moved his business
to a new skyscraper, his business began to do very badly. He immediately called in Feng Shui
experts. They told him that because his new office block was round, it was like a huge cigarette, and
all the energy was burning off through the roof. They said that the only thing he could do to prevent
this loss of energy was to build a swimming pool on the roof. The millionaire followed their advice,
and his business immediately started to do well.
In recent years, Feng Shui has become popular in many western countries, where companies such as
B&Q have started to seek advice from Feng Shui experts. Before his store was opened, Brian
Ingliss, the manager of one of B & Q's stores in Britain, consulted a Feng Shui expert. The expert
advised him to create a lot of free space around the store. Brian followed the advice, and within a
year, the store was the most successful B&Q store in the country.
