I do believe in Feng Shui as it tries to balance the various energy (fire, water, etc) surrounding your body and the place you live.

I don't think it's a tradition of the past.

Zhejiang Uni has such a department. People actually go to college and get a degree of Fengshui.

Yes, but today it's called "interior design".

Some fengshui is absolutely practical:

Don't put a bathroom next to a kitchen or where you store food. Makes perfect sense, especially in the past

Have windows facing certain directions. Sure optimizes the light during the daytime, etc.

Having plants increases "energy". Well, it provides O2 and has an effect on the human psyche.

Of course, some is folklore, but every culture has their own that is still practiced, and even if it is no longer believed as much, it is still done. In the US, people sometimes still hang a horseshow over their doors....

FengShui is really practical and useful.

It tells people how to do but without reasons why to do, that's why some people think it is ridiculous and some feel it miraculous.

I believe it and have used used many times to help people with health and emotional issues. There will always be things in life science nor man can explain with logic alone.

"There will always be things in life science nor man can explain with logic alone."

Actually, everything can be explained with logic. Anything that can't be explained with logic is just not yet fully understood. This is why we have scientific theory.

When humans lack the knowledge of something that we haven't discovered or fully understood yet, we create things like religion and TCM to explain them.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
