Many aspects of Feng Shui, such as east (Dong) and west (Xi), cannot be learned in books; you need a teacher to guide you. ④ Do not be superstitious. Feng Shui has certain Dao (the Way) principles, but it also has many Xuan Xue (mystical studies) elements, so it should be viewed rationally. ⑤ Don't be impatient for quick success and instant benefits. Feng Shui is a profound science that requires long-term learning and accumulation. ⑥ Prioritize virtue. When learning Feng Shui, first learn how to be a good person. People with poor moral character cannot learn Feng Shui well and may even harm others and the world. Feng Shui is a science and a Spiritual practice (Xiu Xing).
