And the relationship between the context from theory of Dongsataek·Seosataek which is a kind of Yang-Taek Theory in Feng shui and the acupuncture point for propitious building position is also examined. In the House of Chusa, it was determined that the location selection and the spatial composition had been resulted from the base of Feng shui theory. And how the Feng shui influenced by royal family was utilized throughout high society of the Joseon Dynasty could be verified. Because the House of Chusa was directly granted by King Yeongjo when Kim Han-shin became a son-in-law of the king, royal family culture was able to intactly affect household of the gentry, and the condition of location selection and knowhow of spatial composition was also passed down. This means that Feng shui was not just used as means of favorable change in fortune but used to reveal the social status of the house resident through its location and spatial composition. And it is clear that Feng shui was used to suggest the rational direction with which semantic value of the surrounding circumstance was granted.
