Feng shui is a set of beliefs and practices arising from a two-to-three-thousand-year-old deeply entrenched Chinese and East-Asian worldview and cosmology. Feng shui has long migrated from Asia and has an increasing international commercial, cultural and social presence.Footnote 1 Amazon has 7000 feng shui books listed in English alone. A Google FENG SHUI search returns one-hundred-million-plus sites in half-a-second. The web sites support a multi-billion-dollar industry. The worldview that anchors feng shui also anchors Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) both of which are institutionalized with university medical schools, certification, government registration, laws, and much else. In China, 240 universities offer degree programmes in TCM while 18 countries have included acupuncture in their medical insurance schemes.
Besides divination based on the heavens, the Chinese also used methods that depended on the Earth, methods of geomancy or feng-shui. The basic idea was that if the houses of the living and tombs of the dead were not properly positioned, then evil effects of the most serious kind would affect the inhabitants of the houses and the descendants of those whose bodies lay in the tombs. (Needham, 1978, p.178)
Comparable claims are repeated on hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of feng shui websites. Seemingly, everyone is buying or selling either a piece of, or information about, chi. Predictably, thousands of websites are selling chi-based Covid cures. All of this constitutes the parallel industry and science of feng shui. Whether it is a parallel science and business or parallel pseudoscience and racket are questions addressed in contributions to this journal issue.
Damian Fernandez-Beanato recognises that the first step in the philosophical consideration of feng shui is the Demarcation Problem. That is, to consider whether its theory and practice constitutes a normal mature science like chemistry; whether it is a proto- or beginning or could-be science; whether it is more properly a non-science much like art or music; or is it a pseudoscience that asserts truth claims about world by following a scientific method, but actually does not do so.
Paton stresses that early fengshui theory was based on observation of the relationship between landform and agriculture fertility. The cosmology of the Book of Burial, for instance, only included the concepts qi and yin/yang, the form and configurational force of the topography and the emotional response to this. However, as the theory developed more and more of the vast array of Chinese cosmology was overlain on this original comparatively simple empirically based scheme, including five-phase theory, the trigrams of the Yi Jing, Chinese astrology, the celestial stems and terrestrial branches.
Jinwoong SONG, Jieun CHUN, and Jiyeon NA note that in contemporary society, people are expected to make scientific decisions and engage in rational action over a range of personal and social problems. They present a case study of how this is done in Korea, drawing attention to the national flag that embodies the dual forces of nature in the classical Asian view. The red and blue circle in the middle of the flag is called taegeuk in Korean (t'ai chi in Chinese). The circle is divided into two parts with the upper red part representing the forces of yang (yang in Chinese as well), and the lower, blue part representing the forces of um (yin in Chinese). The feng shui worldview is embedded in the country's flag (Lee, 2006).
For instance, all students should, after an adequate teaching programme about energy, be capable of an informed comment on the much-reported claims made about the celebrity super-Qigongist Dr Yan Xin who is a former TCM practitioner who worked in different Chinese and USA universities (Yan, 2015). He has an international reputation for healing thousands of patients at a distance by generating and casting his own qi over them. Some of his lectures, including in US universities, were attended by tens of thousands. In 1986 he was attached to the Qigong Cooperative Research Group at Tsinghua Technical University in Beijing. There he claimed:
What explicitly connects feng shui with science education is that, despite the seeming mysteriousness of its chi core, its absence from standard science texts and laboratories, its popular associations with divination, astrology, charms, and its exploitation in a wide range of fraudulent commercial practices its worldview is ostensibly naturalistic. In its own terms, it is scientific. Feng shui can legitimately, and with cultural and educational benefit, be appraised in science classes. Its classroom examination can illuminate important features of the nature of science, and the role of science in society and culture. Further, feng shui can be a rich topic for coordinated, cross-disciplinary teaching between different school faculties: science, history, social studies, philosophy, art, economics, and religion. The cross-disciplinary appraisal of feng shui is an excellent case-study for STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics) education and its Arts-augmented variant, STEAM education. A cross-disciplinary approach to the inclusion of feng shui in a STEM or STEAM curriculum could look like the following (Fig. 1):
The quality of such learning will depend on the quality, sensitivity and informedness of the teaching. In the classroom consideration of feng shui, and its chi-based worldview, the issues should be problematized, questions asked, claims examined, and alternatives investigated. Over time, and by engagement with problematic aspects of feng shui, the strengths and advantages of a scientific outlook, of respecting and seeking out evidence, should become apparent to students. Hopefully the essays in this thematic issue will contribute to a deeper appreciation by teachers of the complex philosophical, cultural and educational dimensions of feng shui. As editor of the thematic issue, I acknowledge and appreciate the diligent and informed reviewing of all initially submitted manuscripts by 33 scholars (philosophers, educators, psychologists, and anthropologists) from 12 countries. Authors also value the many suggestions made and corrections required.

Dr. Hsu and I were there for the Blue Mountain Feng Shui International Mastery Program in Russian. This 10 day program gathered over 65 students from the Ukraine, Russia, Latvia and Belarus. After mingling with the students who spoke some English, I came to learn that many have a great interest in psychology, spirituality, and ancient eastern culture. They go to India and China to learn about yoga, vastu, meditation, martial arts, qi gong, medicine and many other physical, mental and emotional health traditions. They are very open to such information. I found, more so than in the West. I wondered why.
Dr. Hsu is a man of many talents. He is a tai chi master as well as a feng shui master. Nearly forty years ago, he was the first Tai Chi Chuan instructor in the Pacific Northwest. Being a modest man, he also rarely mentions his extensive background in qigong knowledge and how he personally knows many of the qigong masters in China. We knew we were all privilege to be there with the master.
Dr. Hsu began the program with Form Defines Energy I, introducing the core concepts of Form School Feng Shui. The following day, was my overseas teaching debut, with Form Defines Energy II, How to Design an Ideal Feng Shui House. His other courses included Ying Yang Theory, a personal favorite, Five Element Theory, Feng Shui for Business, Logo Design, Face Reading, Signs and Symbols, Feng Shui for Garden and Exterior Design, and Remedy. 10 days of fascinating information. 10 days of lifelong learning.
