    The roots go back thousands of years to the time when many Oriental philosophies were developed. Included among these was belief in the so called balance of yin and yang (darkness and light, hot and cold, negative and positive).
    The concept of yin and yang was joined with the idea of ch’i, which literally means “air” or “breath.” Yin, yang, and ch’i, along with the so-called five elements of wood, earth, water, fire, and metal, form integral parts of fêng shui theory.
