When led out to execution he made predictions saying that a cer- tain tree would be found at the place of execution. At that tree a nest of a certain bird would be found. These statements are said to have been veri- fied. He was a most learned man, a fine scholar, poet and critic. But such was the effect on him of the half r . ^ OFTHE FENG'SHUL 35 Babylonian, half Hindoo view of destiny, portents, and the influence of tlie stars then current, that he thought he could tell exactly what would hap...pen to the descendants of anyone who was buried in a particular spot ; and it was through his strong faith in his theory and in himself that he became the founder of F^ng- shui. After Kwo-pu's time the Feng- shui of Fukien gradually became cele- brated. It was very much directed to the construction and the selection of the locality of the ancestral temple. This system has had a considerable influence^ through its popularity with certain classes in Fukien and the neighbouringf province of Ch^kiang.
