Small scale小局

Explanation

The small scale acts most directly on the main door: which way traffic and people flow, where a road curves around the house or cuts toward it, T-junctions, dead ends.

Since streets are only "virtual water", a small-scale reading always comes with a level of certainty — a clear main road is more reliable than a narrow path.

Questions

How is the small scale read for a house in an alley?

The alley in front is the nearest waterway; the end where it opens onto a larger road is usually treated as where water leaves.

Why does the small scale have a confidence level?

Because streets are not real water; the confidence level tells you how clear and continuous the street is, and so how much it deserves to be read as water.
