In terms of space, topographical advantages are important to the Chinese--a person's orientation should accord with yin and yang and the five elements--and from this developed the theory of feng-shui, or geomancy, which attempts to achieve spatial harmony and balance.
在空間上，中國人講究「地利」﹘﹘人所在的方位，要和金、木、水、火、土陰陽五行配合，於是發展出一套「風水」的理論。堪輿學就是在人們為了追求空間的均衡之下興起的。
