On Folk Geomantic Belief of the Hakka People

It was recorded in the historical annals and folk legends of the Hakka-inhabited area that Yang Junsong,a Hakka ancestor moving from Central China to Gannan,introduced geomancy to this area in the late Tang Dynasty. Yang Junsong,by inheriting and developing the landform theory of geomancy,established the Topography School in Jiangxi. Developing through the Five Dynasties,the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty,geomantic belief culminated in the Hakka area in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and has become a tradition and common folk cultural phenomenon of the Hakka people. Like other folk cultures,it has become deeply rooted in the minds of the Hakka people and has very strong inheritability.
