Glossary · Landform & water

Contours等高线

Explanation

In feng shui, contour lines reveal landform the eye misses: ridges where dragon veins run, valleys where water gathers, ground that embraces a site or falls away from it.

They are the main tool for the middle scale — the terrain within a few kilometres of the home.

Questions

What is a contour interval?

The height difference between two neighbouring contour lines, such as 1 m or 5 m; flatter land needs a smaller interval.

Do contour lines show where water flows?

Yes. Water follows the steepest slope, at right angles to the contours, toward lower ground.
