Why is it most suitable to have water in the courtyard?
According to the Feng Shui tradition, "if the mountains are prosperous and the people are prosperous, but the water is prosperous, the wealth will be prosperous", which shows how important water is to Feng Shui. There are six types of water around the Yangzhai. The first is Chao Shui, that is, the water facing you, such as Jiuqu Water and Yang Chao Water. In ancient times, there was a saying that "Jiuqu enters the Mingtang and becomes the prime minister of the dynasty", which means that this water is precious. The second is to embrace the water. The water wraps around and embraces the water, and the windings are affectionate. This is auspicious water, such as belt water, bow water, etc. The third is Hengshui, which is like Yizi water and is also auspicious water. The fourth is slanting water, which has good and bad luck. The fifth is the reverse bowing of water, which means "the water bypasses the acupoint and is picked up instead", which is worthless. "If you hold water in your arms and hold it back, it will weaken you." Therefore, this water is a bad water. The sixth is to go straight to the water, and to go straight is to vent, which is not good for Ding wealth.
The power of water is extremely powerful. It nourishes life, combines strength and softness. It has both ornamental value and environmental protection value, and can even regulate temperature. "The Yellow Emperor's House Sutra" points out that "the spring water is the blood of the house." Therefore, a perfect courtyard must have a body of water as the finishing touch. There are many forms of water bodies in the courtyard, such as ponds, swimming pools, fountains, etc., all of which have the effect of strengthening the house's energy. In a Feng Shui arrangement, even a bowl of water can bring a dramatic effect to a home.
Pond: It is very meaningful to have a pond in the courtyard of a modern home. In order to make the pond full of vitality, most people will raise ornamental fish, frogs, aquatic plants, etc. in it to form an ecological chain, maintain a good ecological balance, make the water fresh, and promote the reconciliation of yin and yang. The pond transforms the living environment of the house, increases the natural beauty, and adds infinite poetry to life.
Swimming pool: Swimming is one of the best fitness exercises. In Feng Shui, constant close contact with water can infuse the body and mind with the qualities of water, helping to improve the flexibility of the mind. The best location for the swimming pool is in the east or southeast of the courtyard, but not too close to the door to prevent moisture from entering the house. The shape of the swimming pool is round or curved. It can also be designed into an irregular round shape, but it should not have sharp corners.
Fountain: "Ask the canal where it can be so clear, for there is a source of living water." Swimming pools, fountains in the center of ponds, or artificial waterfalls are all living water in the home, which help to activate the air flow in the home, avoid stagnation of wealth, and can effectively offset the impact of evil spirits caused by road collisions and backlashes in the home. If a fountain is installed in Upward lighting can enhance the effect.
The sound of running water from waterfalls or fountains is friendly and natural, and it can also have a positive impact on life. “The only thing that moisturizes everything is water.” Running water is gentle and kind, and can easily resolve obstacles on its path. The sound of trickling water is soothing, helping residents survive the long journey of life. bumpy.
When laying out the water system in the courtyard, you must pay attention to allowing the water system to flow toward the front door of the house in a gentle curve, rather than flowing away, to avoid leakage of financial water.
