Résumé (en anglais)

Being the spirit of China’s architecture traditionally and the substituting of "superstition" currently, Kanyu (Feng-shui) is an obvious example of the controversy among the China’s monument architecture in world heritage list: on one hand, the external aspects of them, such as facades or technical skills, are highly evaluated and acknowledged; on the other hand, the internal aspects, such as the intangible setting, are fading consciously or unconsciously with the change of cultural dimension. Through the analysis of Kanyu(Feng-shui) in history, the thesis tries to make transparent of the trajectory of the fading of intangible setting since China involved in the intercultural context, and lays emphasis on impact of the cultural controversies and movements from 1840, such as the controversy on east and west cultures in the later Qing dynasty, New Cultural Movement, and Cultural Revolution.
