What does the Chinese "feng shui" literally mean?

"spirit body"
"wind water"
"speech silence"
"flame wind"
Feng shui or fengshui is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment. The feng shui practice discusses architecture in metaphoric terms of "invisible forces" that bind the universe, earth, and humanity together, known as qi. Wind symbolized "invisible", water (which you can't grasp) - "elusive".
