This tradition was popularized in [[Korea]] in the ninth century by the Buddhist monk Toson ([[Doseon]]), who studied and adapted the ideas and practices of the different Chinese Daoist schools of Feng-shui to the Korean landscape situation and cultural traditions.<ref name="Mason-san-shin">{{cite web |last1=Mason |first1=David A. |title=Pungsu-jiri    풍수지리 Korea's  System of Geomancy or Feng Shu |url=https://san-shin.net/Pungsu-jiri.html |website=san-shin.net/ |access-date=29 March 2024}}</ref>

In Korea, geomancy takes the form of interpreting the topography of the land to determine future events and or the strength of a dynasty or particular family.  Therefore, not only were location and land forms important, but the topography could shift causing disfavor and the need to relocate.  The idea is still accepted in many South East Asian societies today, although with reduced force.<ref>Peter H. Lee and Wm.
