Translations. 330 $aIn Five Classics of Fengshui Michael Paton traces the theoretical development of this form of spiritual geography through full translations of major texts: the Burial Classic of Qing Wu , Book of Burial , Yellow Emperor?s Classic of House Siting , Twenty Four Difficult Problems , and Water Dragon Classic . This theoretical development is analysed through the lens of history, philosophy and sociology of science in an attempt to address Joseph Needham?s conundrum of the "great beauty of the siting" in traditional China being based of such a ?grossly superstitious system? and to understand what part fengshui played in the environmental history of China. 410 0$aSinica Leidensia$v110. 517 3 $aFive classics of feng shui 606 $aFeng shui 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFeng shui. 676 $a133.3/337 700 $aPaton$b Michael John$0991048 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452628703321 996 $aFive classics of fengshui$92267907 997 $aUNINA
