Why should we build a water feature in the courtyard?

Many friends will build water features in the courtyard when designing the courtyard. However, the purpose of building water features is not only to be beautiful, but also has a role in Feng Shui that many people do not know.

So, from the perspective of courtyard feng shui, why is it necessary to build a water feature in the courtyard? Come and have a look with me!

With a river in front and a hillside in the back, it is usually considered the most ideal home environment. Because there is a hillside as a backing, which can hide the wind and gather energy, the terrain is also "low in front and high in back", as stable as Mount Tai; there is a broad bright hall in front, a broad view, and a winding river, just like "affectionate water". "The music is sentimental, neither slow nor slow."

The jade belt surrounded by nine curves gives people a sense of auspiciousness. There is a pool or fountain in front of the door. In Feng Shui, it is called water gathering in front of the hall. That is, if there is water in front of the bright hall, you will be blessed. Evolving into people's psychological cognition, water has become a symbol of blessing.

For the ancients, having a convenient life meant they were blessed, and having water in front of their door meant they didn’t have to travel long distances to fetch it. But in modern cities, it is difficult to find this kind of residence that needs wind and water. Although modern houses do not get the natural water given by nature, they can be remedied by artificial methods.

For example, there is a huge fountain in front of Oriental Plaza on the north side of Chang'an Street in Beijing. Although it is a very modern building, it follows the concept of traditional Feng Shui. As a place for business activities, praying is its specific meaning, which is to hope for abundant financial resources. This meaning is reinforced by the rising fountain.
