QUESTION:
The ancient arts of geomancy and
feng shui have influenced Chinese architecture
for over 3,000 years. Feng shui, literally
'wind and water', is a system of beliefs
that govern how a building should be situated
and set out, internally and externally.
According to the principals
of feng shui, which direction should the
gate or door of a house face?

D. West
ANSWER:
B is correct! Believers in the art
of feng shui say that ensuring that your
door or gate faces to the south will bring
success, prosperity and good fortune.
The
practice of feng shui continues to gain
popularity, not just in China, with numerous
feng shui advice columns springing up in
newspapers and magazines around the world.

hair turn white! Maybe feng shui is the
road to success after all!
