Discuss And Practice Of Building Geomancy Layout Three-dimension Displaying Methods

Geomancy has always been the folk culture and experience inheritance concerning residential location choosing for Chinese nation. In the long history of thousands of years, it was constantly perfected and summarized and slowly it has become a systematic knowledge. Although lots of superstitious elements are mixed up in it, the practical part of geomancy has been widely accepted by the common people, if the essence of geomancy is extracted, and the dross is rejected, especially in construction industry, a special course about geomancy is basically established.
