What is a place to get water, and what is a place to hide the wind?

Fan Yibin said: "If there is no water, the wind will block the air; if there is water, the air will stop and there will be no wind. Therefore, the two words Feng Shui are the most important in geology. Among them, the place with water is the best. The place where the wind is hidden is the second best. "

The general meaning is that only when water is collected and protected from the wind, can a place full of vitality, surrounded by green mountains and flowing green water be a geomantic treasure. In addition, it is more important to pay attention to the situation of mountains and rivers, call the mountains "dragons", and observe the direction, ups and downs, shapes, mountain sources, water sources and other characteristics of the mountains. This is called "the ins and outs" in Feng Shui. Feng shui is good where there are the ins and outs.

As for the environmental model of the house, the ancients summarized it as follows: the house is backed by a mountain and faces south. There should be a river surrounding the house in front of the house. In this way, a typical "mountain surrounded by water" is formed. Another form is that the house is surrounded by mountains and water. The mountain has a road to the west, a river to the east and a pond to the south. When modern people choose the location of their homes, they should adhere to the principle that the location of the house is surrounded by a good natural environment, with mountains, water and wind, so that the building can blend into the natural environment.
