Features: The essence of a person is their home; people regard their home as their dwelling. If one is at peace, their home brings prosperity; if not, their family declines——《Yellow Emperor's Manual of the I Ching》。With ten acres of lush lotus leaves intertwined, the water's hue blends with the sky's azure. A home is where humanity thrives, a place where people rejuvenate and enjoy the joys of family life. People stand because of their home, and homes exist because of people. When people and homes are in harmony, the energy flows smoothly, and the mind finds ease. To reside in a auspicious home allows one to absorb the vitality of mountains and rivers, bask in the essence of the sun and moon, refine one's character, and cultivate a natural and harmonious spirit.
When we visit the Forbidden City in Beijing or the gardens of Suzhou and Hangzhou, we are awestruck by their ornate beams and painted rafters, their golden and brilliant splendor, our spirits soaring. Yet when we encounter barren land and fierce winds and sand, we feel repulsion and avoid them. Mountains and clear waters, sheltered from the wind and facing the sun, bring joy to the heart. The gentle flow of water and the lush growth of plants make one linger in delight. The singing of orioles and swallows, the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, fill the heart with tranquility.
