         <description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;This is a simple question that can be difficult to answer.&nbsp;Feng shui is an ancient art and science developed over 3,000 years ago in Ancient&nbsp;China. <br><br>A system of laws considered to govern spatial arrangement and orientation in relation to the flow of energy. It is believed to have used the combination of the laws of Earth and Heaven to improves life by receiving positive <i>qi. </i>In traditional&nbsp;Chinese culture <b>qì</b>&nbsp;(also&nbsp;chi&nbsp;or&nbsp;ch'i) is an active principle forming part of any living thing. Qi&nbsp;is frequently <span style="font-size: 13px;">translated as "life energy" and "life force".It is the c</span><span style="font-size: 13px;">entral principle in traditional Chinese&nbsp;medicine&nbsp;and martial arts.</span></p><p><b>Feng</b> means <i>wind</i> and <b>shui</b> means <i>water</i>. In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus&nbsp;good&nbsp; feng shui came to mean good fortune, while bad&nbsp;feng shui means bad luck, or misfortune. </p><p><br>Feng shui is based on the Taoist vision and understanding of nature, particularly on the idea that the land is alive and filled with Chi, or energy.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In Ancient China, feng shui was used quite often to oriente significant structures and buildings eg.tombs. </p><p>Feng Shui used astronomy to find connections between humans and the universe. It&nbsp;orignated from Chinese astronomy and it has existed for around 3500 and years.</p><p>Feng Shui&nbsp;was commonly practised during the Tang Dynasty. There was much evidence to support this from ancient ruins and texts.<br>One of the famous feng shui names recorded in the history of feng shui is Master Yang Yun Sang, who left a legacy of many classical feng shui texts and is considered the founder of the landscape school of feng shui.</p><p>In 1960, Feng Shui was suppressed due to the cultural revolution at that time.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<ul><li>Colours are an important part of Feng shui. Fire element colours, such as red, pink, purple, orange and bright yellow, are good in the Northeast feng shui area of your home or office because they support the Earth element of Star 8. Balancing fire energy colours with earth element colors and cures which are also very good for this bagua area.</li><li>When it is impractical to incorporate the elements themselves into a space they can be represented by colours instead. For example, a wall painted red can invoke the qualities of the fire element. As with the elements, colours must not clash, but should instead complement each other.</li><li>Feng shui is made up of 5 elements: Water, wood. fire, earth and metal.</li></ul><ul><li>4 is considered an unlucky number in feng shui due to a similar word meaning death. The feng shui believe circling the number in red would have a feng shui cure.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>It was believed to have elemental balance, it was good to eat food with many colours. So a stir-fry</p>&nbsp;with yellow and green&nbsp;bell peppers, red tomatoes and Chinese purple eggplant would be a much better choice than a bowl of lettuce. The food you serve can also increase your prosperity and abundance. Fancy glassesplates and the amount of food you put on the table represent wealth in your family.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Great job but maybe some more pictures next time.  Also, the layout seems a little crowded. I like the background though.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Guys this is amazing! I kind of disagree with the others. I like the way it's lay outed. I don't really mind&nbsp;</p><p>because there's &nbsp;enough information and the spots where the information&nbsp;looks relevant to me.</p><p>I like the way you have first explained what Feng shui was. That was a great introduction.&nbsp;I like the images </p><p>you guys have chosen because even though its an image it gave a great deal of information, such as the clolour</p><p>And what ying-yang is made up of. It would have been better if you guys found a bit more about how</p><p>the four aspects had affected Feng shui and&nbsp;if you did then maybe in a different text boxes. Once again great job!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Definitely could have been organised better. Maybe with the pictures randomly arrayed or with the text because i just felt they looked a bit separate. However, i found the background and information very useful. Great work.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>There is a lot of information but I think it would have been better if you spaced out the boxes. Also maybe you could have put the corresponding text with the picture.</p>]]></description>
