Was Feng Shui theory formed in the Han Dynasty?

In the pre-Qin period of our country, Xiangzhai activities have appeared. On the one hand, it is the residence of the living and the graveyard of the dead . At that time, the Xiangzhai became a kind of Shushu.

In the Han Dynasty, there were many taboos in Xiangzhai art, such as "time, position, Tai Sui, east and west four houses, and Xingtu Shang tomb " and so on. However, at this time, a number of Feng Shui books appeared, such as the "Migration Law", "Xiangzhaishu", "Knowing to the Limits" and "Gongzhai Xiangxing".

Among them, "Compassion to the Limits" talks about the five elements, linking the five elements and the house with the homeowner. To judge good or bad; and "Topography of Palace House" talks about shape method, discussing the choice of city and palace foundation from the aspect of natural topography. It can be said that they are the theoretical sources of the rationalism and the situationalism.
