Prologue.

Hegel regards the Absolute Spirit as continuously developing dialectically.
Hegel/'s insight into the development process of the Absolute Spirit through the dialectics of contradiction and opposition is remarkable, but it is a mistake to think that all spirits and things undergo infinite development.

As material civilization reaches its zenith, just as spiritual civilization declines, cosmic spirit repeats its advance and retreat.
Spirits and things intersect, advancing and retreating, following a proud flow.

Feng Shui is a metaphysics of the land/'s vitality and resonance, nurturing the vitality of the land and people.
In the historical time and space of where one resides, one gains macroscopic insights of metaphysics on the shapes of mountains and fields, the direction of the earth and water flow, through the perspective of Feng Shui.
By knowing one/'s own Five Elements and the regional Five Elements, one seeks the wisdom of harmony and balance in the foundation of life.
In the expanded realm of life in the global world, one broadens the range and scope of one/'s own Five Elements by utilizing the Five Elements of each country.
