Water method水法
Explanation
The Book of Burial says: "Qi rides the wind and scatters; it meets water and stops." Water holds energy, so its course is studied as carefully as the house's orientation.
Every school has its own rules; what they share is the need to know exactly, as a degree, where water arrives and where it leaves (the Water Mouth).
Classical source: The Book of Burial (Guo Pu, Jin dynasty)
How Home Check uses it
Questions
Does a home far from rivers or lakes need a water reading?
Yes. In cities, streets and lanes are read as small waterways (street water), and the slope of the land shows where rain runs.
How do water method and Water Mouth differ?
The water method is the whole reading of water; the Water Mouth is one point in it — where water leaves the site.
