Fengshui(風水) has two faces, a scientific knowledge and magic divination. This paper tries to build a scientific framework for Fengshui as a discipline. In order to transform Fengshui magic into Fengshui Science, this article pushes Fengshui magic through the threshold of Methodological questions; ontological, epistemological and axiological questions. Ontological question is about what is the research object of Fengshui Science. The research object of Fengshui Science is Hyeol(혈), which is not able to be observed and measured, because of being under the ground. It can not become the research object in terms of Logical Empiricism. So it need to premise Hyeol as a holon which is defined in terms of Quantum Physics. Epistemological question is about how to know the Hyeol which is not able to be observed and measured. It need the correlative thinking which is different from the causality. The theory of the yin-yang and five elements is an example of the correlative thinking, which is epistemological principle of Fengshui. Axiological question is about to what is the goals of Fengshui Research. The goals of Fengshui Science are the preservation of corpse for long time, the safe and stability of house and people who lives in it, the sustainablity of human settlement, and the transformation of Fengshui magic divination into Fengshui Science.
