This lineage can be traced back more than 1,200 years, to the Tang dynasty. Yang Yin Song, official master to the Emperors, is considered the founder of Yang Gong Feng Shui. Nicknamed “Yang, the Savior of the Poor,” he left the capital for Ganzhou, where he continued his research and trained disciples. His writings—such as the Tang She and the Tian Yu Jing—laid the foundations for a form of Feng Shui focused on the relationship between human beings and their environment. Traces of his work can still be seen in Ganzhou, including pagodas, temples, houses, and tombs.
