China: Guo Pu / Kuo P'u (276-324 CE), Taoist mystic and father of Fengshui

Guo Pu was a Chinese writer and scholar of the Eastern Jin period, and is best known as one of China's foremost commentators on ancient texts. Guo was a Taoist mystic, geomancer, collector of strange tales, editor of old texts, and erudite commentator.

He is the author of 'The Book of Burial', the first-ever and the most authoritative source of fengshui doctrine and the first book to address the concept of fengshui in the history of China, making Guo Pu the first person historically to define fengshui, and therefore, Guo Pu is usually considered the father of Fengshui.
