Contrary to popular manuals, this book approaches fengshui from an
academic angle, focusing on its significance in China, but also
depicting the recent history of its reinterpretation in the West.
It includes a historical account of fengshui over the last 150
years with anthropological fieldwork on contemporary practices in
two Chinese rural areas. The author argues that fengshui serves as
an alternative tradition of cosmological knowledge to explain a
range of everyday occurrences in rural areas such as disease,
mental disorders, accidents and common mischief. Although Chinese
authorities have opposed the tradition for centuries, it has been
used by almost every-one as an aspect of popular cosmology. This
title falls in the category of Anthropology, Religious Studies,
Environmental Studies, and China. It is suitable for academic
researchers and post-graduate students.
