This book tracks the evolution of feng shui in detail in China from 221 BC till the present day, and then its spread throughout SE Asia, and finally to the rest of the world in the last 35 years. This has never been done before in English. The only information on the history of feng shui occurs as scattered chapters in a number of books, but these books often repeat the same tired generalisations, and include many largely erroneous statements such as: 1. "Feng shui is 6000 years old." In fact the characters 'feng shui' were not used in this context before 320 CE. Even the older names (ti li, kan yi, etc.) for this practice do not occur in any surviving texts before 221 BC. 2. "Feng shui derives from the Yi Jing". In fact, apart from the 8 trigrams being used as basic directional indicators, no feng shui compass shows the 60 hexagrams till 1600 CE, and not the full 64 hexagrams till 1824. 3. "The feng shui compass derives from a magnetised spoon revolving on a plate." In fact this incorrect deduction made by Wang Chen-To in 1946 (and later reluctantly repeated by Needham) was completely discredited by several researchers in the 1990s. This book has been meticulously researched, from authoritative Chinese texts and the analysis of many antique lo p'ans, and gives the real history of feng shui. It contains the biographical details of many masters, and tracks the developments and people involved in propagating feng shui in the US, UK, Europe and China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, in the 20th and 21st century, right up to date in 2012. It clearly shows the different feng shui methods and masters, and how they relate to each other.

After completing the ambitious task of transliterating the four titles under the "Four Celebrated Poems of Xuan Kong", Joey Yap's accomplished student, Hung Hin Cheong returns with another immense effort focusing on the San He branch of Classical Feng Shui called Yin House Feng Shui. Much older than any other Feng Shui system, San He holds its own ground to this day, especially in regards to Burial Feng Shui, or better known as Yin House Feng Shui. Whereas the commonly practised Feng Shui for the living or Yang House Feng Shui, which affects only the occupants living in the property, Yin House Feng Shui brings on more far-reaching effects. A burial, good or bad, can impact several generations down the line. With this handbook Hung provides a practical guide on tomb-setting using San He techniques, where many of the age-old techniques have been reassessed and adapted to match the modern environment without breaking loose from its underlying classical theory. In addition, the author has also shared his own experience gained over many years of practical Yin House work. This book - with a Foreword by Joey Yap -- is the first of its kind written in English to deliver a comprehensive look at Yin House Feng Shui study. It is recommended for serious Feng Shui practitioners and students, who wish to deepen their knowledge in seeking insights into the Yin House Feng Shui and bringing their understanding and practice of Yin House Feng Shui to the next level.

"The Feng Shui Diaries" are an account of the activities of Richard Ashworth, one of Britain's very few feng shui men: touching, informative, and very funny. They cover the human stories of why people call him in and what changes as a result. In his own words; "Sometimes I move a mirror, sometimes furniture. Usually I place water very precisely. Generally, I talk a lot. Stuckness, depression, addiction, ovarian cysts, infertility, lack of success are all grist to the mill, but above all, relationships: Moira wanted to be free of her ex-husband. I suggested the first step might be to stop sleeping with him. The house was full of shields and discs, yang metal symbols that in Chinese terms mean "mature man". Simply putting these on e-bay would move mountains." "The Feng Shui Diaries" shows how feng shui works for ordinary people in ordinary situations. There is nothing intimidating or inexplicable about it. And even if you don't follow the practice, they're a good laugh.
