Traditional vocabulary
Term pages use Feng Shui vocabulary in its cultural and method context. A term can explain how a school speaks about space, but it cannot prove a personal result.
Sources and Boundaries
The Feng Shui Atlas uses sources to explain language, methods, images, and practical room checks. The site does not use source links as proof that Feng Shui creates guaranteed wealth, health, relationship, career, or personal outcomes.
Source Layers
Method boundaries
Room form, BTB Bagua, compass work, Kua directions, and Flying Star timing are kept separate when they would lead to different advice.
Modern room observation
Practical guidance starts with visible conditions: door view, support, glare, blocked paths, clutter, care needs, lease rules, and daily room use.
Visual sources
Images are either licensed public visuals, self-made diagrams, or clearly limited illustrative assets. A visual explains a layout idea; it is not evidence that an outcome will happen.
Visible Page References
Guide pages show the references used for that specific page: a site method note, a public term or tradition reference, a method or culture reference, a modern room-use reference, and a visual note. Each item explains how it shaped the page and what it cannot prove, so reference links do not become authority laundering.

Reader Boundaries
- Choose safety, accessibility, lease rules, and professional judgment before any symbolic reading.
- Use tools as educational estimates; they do not store inputs or create a private consultation.
- Prefer one reversible room change over buying cures or moving furniture that already works.
- When schools disagree, keep the method label visible instead of blending all advice into one rule.
