Street water街道水 · 虚水

Explanation

Chinese texts call roads "virtual water" to distinguish them from real rivers and lakes. A road that curves around a house is usually considered good; one that runs straight at the door is considered a clash.

Street water is the main basis for the small scale in cities, where most homes cannot see a river or lake.

How Home Check uses it

Questions

Is a road pointing straight at the house poor street water?

It is usually considered a clash of energy, especially when aimed at the main door. How strong depends on the road's width and distance.

Can street water replace real water?

It complements rather than replaces. When a real river or lake is near, real water comes first; street water covers the range right by the house.
