Traditional Chinese culture influences Brazilians
Chinese classical works, such as the “Analects of Confucius,” “The Book of Changes,” Master Sun's “Art of War” and the theory of fengshui (the traditional Chinese study of geomantic omens for buildings or cemeteries), have been disseminated throughout Brazilian culture. Many Brazilian intellectuals have been influenced by the fengshui theory.
