People in China like geomantic omen very much, so geomantic omen is often used in buildings. Generally speaking, water means wealth. Even if some schools are too small to hold water, they will open a lawn to represent water. At the same time, water also represents the meaning of "kindness is like water, tolerance is great".
In addition, the lake in the school also plays a role in regulating the climate. Schools in China are generally dense buildings. The number of students in an ordinary middle school is usually more than 5,000, and the number of students in some key middle schools will even exceed 1 10,000. The number of students in universities is basically around 6.5438+0 million, and the number of students in comprehensive key universities will even be 30,000 to 40,000. Such a dense population, dormitory, teaching area and living area will produce "urban heat island effect". If there is a lake in the school at this time, it can play a role in cooling and regulating.
