Feng Shui in the Chinese Imperial Court

Feng shui in the Chinese imperial court refers to the practice and institutional management of feng shui (geomancy) by the Chinese emperor, the ruling bureaucracy, and designated state agencies across successive Chinese dynasties. While feng shui has been practised in China for over three thousand years across all levels of society, its application within the imperial court was distinguished by state-level institutional oversight, restricted access to key classical texts, integration with official astronomical and calendrical systems, and large-scale implementation in the planning of imperial cities, dynastic tombs, and palatial complexes.
