2. A saying about Feng Shui (風水)


It is a good feng shui to against mountain and face ocean

Taiwanese believe that if ancestor's grave is “Facing the ocean in front and against mountain in back”, then its offspring will:

Have money (water) and have dependence (mountain)

Facing ocean: Ancients considered water as money; therefore, the coming of wave is just like the coming of money

Against mountain: It means dependence

Do you believe in it?
