Is fengshui(風水) a scientific theory or magic divination?As the theory of settlement space - a framework of settlement locations(capital, city, village, building, landscape, house and tomb), fengshui has influenced positive and negative effects on Korean culture from ancient time to now. These two sides of fengshui are related to two stream of theorizing about settlement location through Chinese history. Before Qin-Han(秦漢) dynasties, the decision making process of settlement location are dual courses; first step is to search locational alternatives with empirical fengshui knowledge, second step is to decide a appropriate location by tortoise carapaces or bamboo sticks divination. It means that settlement location processes were divided between scientific knowledge and magic divination. From Qin-Han dynasties, the yin-yang and five elements theory on qi(氣) monism has established. It provided a theorizing framework for fengshui. Then fengshui has mixed with empirical knowledge and divination in terms of the monism of qi, yin-yang and five elements. It referred to justify divination with scientific knowledge. As a result, it had transformed fengshui to fengshui divination which has a negative impacts on oriental culture. Fengshui divination means that fengshui has become a determinant factor for the fortune of individual, family, clan and even kingdom. This is an outcome of scientific confusion and fallacy ; to interpret fortune of individual, family, clan and even kingdom with respect to divination tools on hermeneutic interpretation form, however to prescribe settlement locations and arrangements in terms of scientific explanation form. Finely fengahui divination has been called a false religion or an idol worship. From now, it needs to divide fengshui as a scientific explanatory knowledge and fengshui divination as a fortune interpretation.
