How it's used
Refers specifically to a practitioner who assesses the energy flow of spaces, often consulted before moving into a new home or office. While the term is neutral, it carries a sense of traditional cultural authority that persists in modern Hong Kong society. It is common to use the verb 睇 in front of it to describe the act of seeking their professional services.
