| "Xuan Kong" (pronounced "Shu-en Kong") is the mother system of the renown Flying Stars Feng Shui system. Xuan Kong is a highly sophisticated branch of Feng Shui, replete with many techniques and formulaes that enable practitioners to evaluate and audit feng shui on a more in depth and thorough basis, from assessing landforms to determining invisible Chi patterns.
"Xuan Kong" carries many meanings and representations. It has no direct and definitive English translation, and has been variously referred to as "Mysterious and Void" or "Mysterious Subtleties" or "Time and Space Dimension" Feng Shui.
In Master Shen Ju Reng's (Qing Dynasty) definitive Feng Shui text, he noted that Xuan can be said to represent "One" while Kong represents "Nine". Xuan Kong therefore represents the interaction and relationship of One to Nine (the Nine Flying Stars).
Xuan can also been seen as representing "Heaven" and Kong as "Earth". Thus, Xuan Kong represents the interaction of forces between Heaven and Earth. As Heaven represents Yang, and the Earth represents Yin, “Xuan Kong” also carries the meaning of the interaction of Yin and Yang in the living universe.
The study of Xuan Kong encompasses numerology, symbology and science of the Bagua along with the mathematics of time. Xuan Kong Feng Shui is widely practiced by leading Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
