Why is there a water feature in the courtyard

There is a small river in the front and a hillside in the back, which is generally considered to be the most ideal home environment. Because there is a hillside behind it, which can trap wind and gather air, the terrain is also "low in the front and high in the back", which is as stable as Mount Tai; the bright hall in front is wide, the view is wide, and the creek is curved, just like "love water". "The song is sentimental, neither disease nor slow." The jade belt surrounded by nine tunes gave people a sense of good fortune. There is a pool or fountain in front of the door. Feng Shui is called gathering water in front of the hall. Evolving to people's psychological cognition, water has become a symbol of blessing.

For the ancients, convenience of life was a blessing, and having water in front of the door was to save them from running long distances to pick water. However, in modern cities, it is difficult to find such a residence that requires wind and water. Although modern houses cannot get natural water from nature, they can be remedied by artificial methods. For example, in front of the Oriental Plaza on the north side of Chang'an Avenue in Beijing, there is a huge fountain. Although it is a very modern building, it follows the concept of traditional Feng Shui. As a place for business activities, praying is what it specifically refers to. It is the hope of making money. This meaning is strengthened by the rising fountain.
