Breve biografia
Kwok Man-ho was born in Southern China. He trained for 20 years in the skills of the Chinese esoteric arts, such as feng shui (geomancy), divination, and exorcism, and he became a Taoist master in the early 1980s. A revered Chinese astrologer, he is one of only five people in the world with the knowledge and wisdom to calculate the Chinese calendar. Kwok Man-ho is the author of numerous books on Chinese divination and religion, including The Ancient Chinese Almanac, The Fortune Teller's I Ching, Authentic Chinese Horoscopes, and The Eight Immortals of Taoism.

Feng shui is the way of divining yin and yang in the landscape. It is founded on the belief that the hills and rivers have been and still are eroded by the forces of wind and water. The natural environment is alive with hidden forces. [12] This practice of divination was largely devoted to siting burial sites but is also used in planning palaces, business locations, and homes. Practical Confucianists frowned upon it.

Interesting and useful, though the mirror is quite silly.
