Cao Fei: Master Q's Guide to Virtual Feng Shui

Introduction

A lot of people believe in the power of feng shui, but nobody believes in myths. People don’t know that those things that happened in prehistoric times were the origin of I-Ching. I hope that those things that are made obscure and fragmented by different media in the past generations can happen again in Second Life (SL). This is real feng shui, one with roots and qi, one that combines heaven, people and spirits into one.
