Most of it can be traced to repetitive events, kinda like Darwin's theory of evolution.
Follow this example, not sure if I remember correctly, so give me some liberties:
Wood is recommended to be stored in the east part of the house. water in a certain area, house should face this way, with windows located here.
Why? Major killer in the past, black plague, rats. Keep wood, and the pests possibly hiding there in a different part of the house. Keep water in a part of the house where it would be cooler. No fans or A/C, take advantage of the wind .
Why mention Darwin? Because over thousands of years, it was observed families with their house laid out a certain way were healthier.
They developed an explanation and theory. Feng Shui

Oh come on. Just because it has been around for a long time makes it more valuable?
Modern germ theory and antibiotics are both "new kids on the block" and yet anyone with brains will go with a real doctor and not a witch doctor. Chinese "medicine" has been around a long time and 99.9999% of it is total poppycock and the cause of the decimation of the Elephant and Rino population as well as many sharks. Do you really think ground up rino horn will help anyone more than a Viagra pill?
I could go on but it gets into a rather PARF like thing so I will stop.
