Fengshui practitioners in a Jiangxi province village said that most of their clients are government officials who hoped to get promoted.
Zeng Xianbai, 75, a Fengshui practitioner in Xingguo county, Jiangxi, said that he received hundreds of yuan each time for providing consultative services to his clients.
Most of these clients were local government officials, according to a report in Ban Yue Tan, a magazine run by the Xinhua News Agency.
These officials were hoping for suggestions that would see them get promoted faster.
Some even spent thousands of yuan each time they visited him for advice, the article said.
Fengshui practitioners in Zeng's village verified what Zeng said, and some said they earned 500,000 yuan ($82,000) every year.
Fengshui is also known as geomancy with feng meaning wind, and shui, water.
