"the mountain owner decides wealth by water" and "the mountain is expensive and the water is rich". Since ancient times, people have thought that water can accumulate wealth and increase wealth. This statement may not be accurate, but we can also see that rivers and lakes have a great influence on our living environment. For example, a beautiful and rich place with poor environment will be compared to "entering a barren land", while a beautiful and rich place will be described as "beautiful scenery" and so on. What kind of water quality is best for us to live in? The geomantic scripture says, "Know the air and taste the water. Its color is blue, its taste is sweet and its fragrance is expensive. It is white in color, clear in taste and warm and expensive. Its color is light, its taste is pungent, its gas is strong, and it is cold and expensive. If it is bitter and sour, if it is steamed, it is not enough. " It means that water with green color and sweet smell is the best water; White odorless water is good water; Light, pungent water, just so-so. And bitter water can't be called good water. However, it is difficult to find good water in cities now. Generally speaking, it is clear and tasteless. If the rivers and lakes are black and smelly and full of water hyacinths and algae, they will not only promote prosperity, but also have a great impact on family health.
The geomantic omen of rivers in residential feng shui and cities is "depending on mountains and waters" and "jade belt around waist". Generally, there should be a good atmosphere at the bend of the river and a good feng shui at the place surrounded by rivers. But the rivers beside many communities are straight. In this case, how should we choose? The general principle is:
If the residential area is located on the right side of the river, it is auspicious, if it is located on the left side of the river, it is fierce. As for the determination of the left and right sides of the river, it depends on the flow direction of the river: when the back is facing the incoming water, the left hand side is the left side of the river and the right hand side is the right side of the river. Since ancient times, people have mostly followed this principle when choosing city sites. If a residential area is located on the right side of a river, then the river must flow clockwise, which has a good strengthening effect on the feng shui atmosphere inside the residential area. Located in the community on the left side of the river, because the water flow is counterclockwise, the feng shui atmosphere inside the community will be greatly weakened.
