Dan R Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Not good to have your home at the base of a cliff or on the slope of a steep mountain either. Some of these things are so mysterious. I don't know why it shouldn't be at the base? Not only water. All of the elements should be included in a home so that we stay in harmony with nature. It is the harmony you seek not the symbols. The symbols are to keep you on the path. Link to comment

skibum Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 My wife is something of an expert when it comes to placing water in homes as she used to have an aquarium store and sold and set up many aquariums.She thinks that placing the water cooler next to the front door is more of feng shui. However, in China, water means treasure, so it is good to see it. She also would often place a tank between a front door and the back when there is a straight shot from one to the other in order to stop anything bad that may come in the door. I think she used snake head fish for that one.... Nothing in our home has been affected by Chinese superstitions. They are ok as long as you do not let them affect your life! Link to comment
tonado Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 In some HK movies, they often refer water as money. Link to comment

That is where our founding father Benjamin Franklin had his bathtub. Very Feng Sui. It was our President Johnson who had meetings in the bathroom while on his throne. But then you can't see the water. Edited September 7, 2005 by Dan R (see edit history) Link to comment

Restaurants have the fountains too. My dad works in a restaurant. He said every month, the owner takes the money from the fountain. Sometimes there is over a few hundred dollars in coins.

pkfops Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 I have a small bottle of Chinese water that I've carried with mesince 1999. It has traveled to and from China nine times now. When I am home, I keep it displayed with my Chinese stuff and isvisible when you enter my house. I call it my "lucky water". I guess I'm covered. Link to comment
