Influence of Groundwater System on Huizhou Traditional Village Site from the Perspective of"Water System Survey"Theory
For Huizhou,a region with a developed water system,the geomantic theory of"observing water"plays a significant role in village site selection.The article investigates the main objects of observation in this practice-"water mouth"and"water momentum"-from the perspective of geomancy.It explores the impact of the"water mouth"on the choice of village foundation sites based on the theories of"gathering wind and accumulating Qi"and"form and situation,"and examines the relationship between"water momentum"and village site selection from the"five stars"theory.It ultimately reveals that the"water mouth"can define the overall layout of the village and the area of the smaller layout(architectural arrangement),while"water momentum"influences the site definition and size of the smaller layout(architectural arrangement).
