Is Feng Shui a superstition?

Geomantic omen is a theory originated from China traditional culture, which mainly studies the relationship between environment and people, and how to improve people's quality of life by adjusting the environment. Although geomantic omen has a long tradition and profound cultural heritage in the history of China, from the perspective of modern science, some sayings of geomantic omen may be regarded as superstition.

For example, some concepts such as "geomantic treasure land" and "geomantic treasure land" often mentioned in geomantic omen are difficult to prove their effectiveness in a scientific way. In addition, there are logical contradictions in some statements in Feng Shui, such as "water can accumulate wealth and mountains can prevent disasters", which is not consistent with the actual situation.

Therefore, from the perspective of modern science, some sayings of Feng Shui may be regarded as superstition. However, as a traditional culture, Feng Shui's philosophy and cultural connotation are still worth studying and exploring.
