Five Elements Feng Shui

With the opening up of China to the west, principally first from Hong Kong and Macau, feng shui became increasingly known and also practiced by western "hongs" or trading companies to satisfy local business communities, and also to encourage luck in business. Feng shui masters have always influenced the great buildings in Hong Kong - both for good and bad ends - the famous Bank of China building in Hong Kong Island with its spikes was said to wish bad luck on the English community. Still, western scholars and new-age spiritualists rediscovered feng shui and led to a dramatic and often erratic revival of the practice on the North American west coast California and British Columbia from the early 1990s.
