Features: Enjoying water and being close to water, living near water, reflects human nature. As early as two thousand years ago, Confucius expressed the sentiment, "The benevolent love mountains, the wise love water." A significant marker of humanity's transition from an agrarian civilization to the modern industrial civilization is urbanization. In urban landscape art, water features and fountains are important components of city construction. This book collects water features and fountains from major cities, using water to reduce the barriers created by concrete walls in cities, turning water-filled areas into natural gathering and conversation spaces for people.
