Among the elements that make up courtyard feng shui, water is one of the most important links. Whether it is to nourish life, enhance vitality, or attract wealth and enlighten wisdom, the role of water is irreplaceable.

The power of water is extremely powerful, nourishing life, rigid and soft, both ornamental and environmentally friendly, and can even regulate temperature.

"The Yellow Emperor's House Sutra" pointed out that the house is based on spring water. Therefore, the perfect courtyard must have a body of water as the finishing touch.

There are many forms of water in the courtyard, such as ponds, swimming, fountains, etc., all of which have the effect of strengthening the house.

In a feng shui layout, even a bowl of water can bring a striking effect to the home. In order to make the pond vibrant, most of them will raise ornamental fish, frogs, aquatic plants, etc., in order to form an ecological chain, maintain a good ecological balance and make the water fresh.

The pond transforms the living environment for the residence, increases the beauty of nature, and adds infinite poetry to life.

Fish swimming in ponds have different dynamics for their homes due to their different shapes, colors and states.

Generally speaking, you can raise more colorful koi fish outdoors, and the Chinese have raised carp for nearly 2,500 years.

The carp crosses the dragon gate, the carp turns the ruler, and there is a fish every year, so the carp is very rich and significant. Koi fish grow in fresh water and are omnivorous fish, with an eye-catching appearance and strong vitality, which has a promoting effect on the harmony of yin and yang.

The water body of the pond is natural and cordial, which is beneficial to the house transportation with the home, the shape of the pond is best to be shaped, most of them are round or irregular round, but in the sense of feng shui, the shape of the pond is the most semicircular, such as the bright moon and half full, such as the moon swamp in Yixian County, Anhui Province, the pond in front of the traditional Hakka house, and the pond in front of the Puji Zen Forest in Putuo Mountain, all of which are semicircular, taking the meaning of its moon profit and loss, the householder is encouraged to do so, looking forward to continuous improvement, and the house continues to improve, just as Li Hongzhang Zhongtang Lianyun: The sea has a true tolerance, The bright moon is not always full.

Pool swimming is one of the best fitness exercises. In Feng Shui, frequent intimate contact with water can infuse the body and mind with the characteristics of water, which helps to improve the flexibility of thinking.

The best orientation of the pool is to the east, west or southeast of the courtyard, but not too close to the gate to prevent moisture from entering the house.

In terms of shape, it is better to be round and curved, and it is also possible to design it as an irregular circle, but it should not have sharp corners.

Of course, many swimming pools use chemical cleaners to prevent bacteria and algae, which can affect the water quality, so it is important to take environmentally friendly and safe measures to maintain clean water.

The fountain asks where the canal is as clear as it is, for there is a source of living water. The fountain in the center of the swimming pool and pond, or the artificial waterfall, are all living water in the home, which helps to activate the air flow of the home, avoid stagnation, and can effectively eliminate the influence of the house by the road rush and the reverse bow road.

The sound of the living water of a waterfall or fountain, intimate and natural, can also have a positive impact on life.

The gentle and kind flow of water can easily flow through obstacles in the path, and the sound of a trickle of water is very soothing, helping residents to get through the ups and downs of the long road of life.

When the water system in the courtyard is laid out, it must be noted that the water system should flow towards the front door of the house in a gentle curve, rather than flowing away, so as to avoid the leakage of financial water.
