Chinese Metaphysics enthusiasts who have pored through piles of formulas and books will agree that materials on this subject are difficult to procure, at best. And at worst, even those with knowledge of the Chinese language and culture are confounded by the cryptic meanings even they have access to such materials. In view of this and through years of research and hard work Joey Yap has put together the long awaited Chinese Metaphysics Compendium. This Compendium, with over 1000 pages, is a unique one-volume reference book that aims to richly present all the formulas relating to Feng Shui, BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny), Zi Wei (Purple Star Astrology), Yi Jing (I-Ching), Qi Men (Mystical Doorways), Ze Ri (Date Selection), Mian Xiang (Face Reading) and other sources of Chinese Metaphysics in the form of easy-to-read tables, diagrams and reference charts. Many of these formulas were once safely guarded secrets of the ancient Masters and were hard to obtain, much less found all in ONE book. Like all the books published under Joey Yap s Chinese Metaphysics Reference Series, this book is written in a bilingual format with English and original Chinese technical terms and characters. This is designed to facilitate students, master practitioners and teachers in their study, research, practice and teaching of Chinese Metaphysics, true to its original form. Find all these formulas on the Chinese Metaphysics knowledge known and practiced today, in one ultimate reference book The Chinese Metaphysics Compendium: The Essentials of Chinese Metaphysics; BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny); Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology); Yi Jing (The Science of Probability); FengShui (The complete reference to all Classical FengShui Schools and their secret Formulas); Mian Xiang (Face Reading); Zhang Xiang (Chinese Palm Reading); Qi Men Dun Jia (Mystical Doors Method); Zi Re (Date Selection). A comprehensive yet practical, this reference book is guaranteed to be your faithful research companion and your indispensable teaching tool on Chinese Metaphysics. Highly recommended!

Hong-Key Yoon's book explores the nature of geomantic principles (fengshui) and the culture of practicing them in Korean cultural contexts. He clearly analyzes the nature and historical background of geomancy, the principles for selecting auspicious sites, and provides an extensive interpretation of geomantic principles as practiced in Korea. The impacts of geomancy on traditional cartography, religion, urban development, and finally iconographical warfare are all discussed in great detail.

The term Fengshui, which literally means 'wind and water,' is the ancient Chinese art of selecting an auspicious site to provide the most harmonious relationship between human and earth. The term is generally translated as 'geomancy,' and has had a deep and extensive impact on Korean, Chinese, and other East Asian cultures. Hong-key Yoon's book explores the nature of geomantic principles and the culture of practicing them in Korean cultural contexts. Yoon first examines the nature and historical background of geomancy, geomantic principles for auspicious sites (houses, graves, and cities) and provides an interpretation of geomantic principles as practiced in Korea. Yoon looks at geomancy's influence on cartography, religion and philosophy, and urban development in both Korea and China. Finally, Yoon debates the role of geomancy in the iconographical warfare between Japanese colonialism and Korean nationalism as it affected the cultural landscape of Kyongbok Palace in Seoul.
