A groundbreaking history of fengshui’s roles in public life and law during China’s last imperial dynasty

In Laws of the Land, Tristan Brown tells the story of the important roles—especially legal ones—played by fengshui in Chinese society during China’s last imperial dynasty, the Manchu Qing (1644–1912).
