The practice of feng shui is
believed to have started six thousand years ago in the Neolithic
times. This way, and according to some discoveries which back
up this affirmation, feng shui can be placed among the most ancient
practices of not only China but the entire world as well. Since
those times, it has been carried from one generation to another
as well as it has been acquiring new knowledge while deepening
the already existing one.
Feng shui can be said to date
from the Neolithic times due to the fact that a gravesite from
that date was found containing clear feng shui elements. This
gravesite was discovered facing north and it had a picture of
a dragon on its east side and a picture of a tiger on the west,
all of them feng shui symbolic elements which were in accordance
to a clear study of the environment in which it was and the land
forms of the surroundings. |

This gravesite which was discovered
in the Chinese province of Henan, dating from the Neolithic times,
also contained representations of creatures and symbols which
indicate the application of feng shui notions. Among these representations,
it had the Big Dipper in its center and the Four Celestial Palaces
around it.
The Four Celestial Palaces, as
they were found in this Neolithic gravesite, are four macro constellations
containing seven constellations each and which together are the
twenty eight constellations of the Chinese zodiac. These Four
Celestial Palaces are similarly used and followed today as they
were discovered in this Neolithic gravesite, and are another
reason which allows experts to affirm that this gravesite had
a clear application of feng shui notions similar to those we
handle these days.
The four macro constellations
which were found in the Chinese Neolithic gravesite are the red
bird which belongs to the south, the blue dragon of east, the
white tiger of west, and the black turtle of north. It is said
that these four Celestial Palaces came to the earth representing
land forms and all those elements which feng shui handles in
order to harmonize an environment. |
