In Feng Shui theory, there is the saying of “mountains bring population and water brings wealth.” The designer of the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong, I.M. Pei, initially designed a fountain that flowed from the back entrance to the front exit.
There were feng shui masters who claimed that water represented wealth, and this design would result in losing money。 As a result, Pei modified the design to have the water flow into a large pool at the bottom, where fish could be raised, effectively retaining the wealth。
Sometimes there are no natural mountains or water sources available。 There before, another saying emerging: ‘Every inch high is a mountain, and every inch low is water。 “
For example, in a city setting, tall buildings can be considered “mountains,” while winding roads can be seen as “water。”
