Actually, fengshui mainly studies the rules of nature. Then, when people adjust their lifestyles to adapt to the environment, nature will give you a certain result. Some principles of fengshui have been proven as valid in scientific experiments. They can't all be lumped together as superstitions for cheating people. To put it in simple terms, different living environments will create different energy fields. The differences between these energy fields will also create obviously different good or bad effects for the people who live there. Environments with good fengshui can really improve people's overall luck. And bad fengshui, on the other hand, can bring you a ton of bad luck.
