Chinese Feng Shui vs. Western Feng Shui: Key Differences
Feng Shui is practiced worldwide in two prominent forms: Chinese Feng Shui and Western Feng Shui. While the latter evolved from the Chinese tradition, these two approaches are fundamentally different. Western Feng Shui lacks the true theoretical foundation of authentic Feng Shui. Instead, it is based on misunderstanding and misapplications of some essential principles of Chinese Feng Shui. Although it uses the name “Feng Shui” and borrows some terminology, it is disconnected from authentic Feng Shui. Essentially, Western Feng Shui is a Western cultural adaptation based on some terms from Chinese Feng Shui.
