feng shui

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chinese order' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'cooked fish e g skinned tuna' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'skinned' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'tuna' is 'un'.
'fish'+'e'+'g'+'un'='fishegun'
'fishegun' with letters rearranged gives 'FENG SHUI'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feng shui that I've seen before include "Chinese system of energy flows" , "Chinese principles of the flow of energy in buildings" , "Chinese values" , "Chinese art of siting, orienting" , "Rules in Chinese philosophy that govern energy flow" .)
