AMP Treatise

A perfect example of Chinese feng shui architecture. Many buildings have holes smack in the middle in order to let the evil spirits pass through. Relatedly, traditionally the Chinese think that evil spirits only travel in straigh lines so old roads were designed to be curvy to thwart the efforts of the devils. Finally, in old homes, you have to step over a raised block at the front door. This prevented evil spirits from entering the home.
