Book of Burial
The Book of Burial (Chinese: t 葬書, s 葬书, p Zàngshū) was an AD 4th or 5th-century work by the Taoist mystic Guo Pu.
The work was a commentary on the now-lost Classic of Burial (t 葬經, s 葬经);[1] as it survived and transmitted the classic's teachings, the Book of Burial's principles relating the flow of qi to the appropriateness of a tomb's location were influential on the development of fengshui.
