Why can't the water in the yard be too close to the building?

For safety and feng shui.

In the layout of courtyard water system, we must pay attention to the water system flowing to the front door of the house in a soft curve, rather than flowing away, so as to avoid the leakage of money and water.

The terrain is divided into yin and yang. Shan Zhinan, the north of the water is called Yang; The north of the mountain and the south of the water are called Yin. At first, the ancients lived by mountains and rivers, and many cities were built by the water. For example, there are many place names with a long history in Henan Province. Today, we can still see Luoyang, Puyang, Huaiyang, Biyang, Qinyang and Ruyang, which are cities that stand by water. As far as the terrain is concerned, the sunny place is the table top, and the shady place is the inside. Houses should generally face the sun, not the dark side, because the sunny side is dry and the dark side is generally wet, which is not conducive to living and health.
