Chinese burial)
The Book of Burial ( Chinese: t 葬 書, s 葬 书, p Zàngshū) was a 4th or 5th-century AD 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.
