Jade Belt玉带水 · EF-11
TL;DR — Core Definition
Jade Belt Water (玉带水) is an auspicious traditional feng shui formation in which a body of water curves around a property on its concave (embracing) side, like a jade belt wrapping the home.
| Formation | Jade Belt |
|---|---|
| Visual cue | Water embracing the home on its concave side |
| Nature | Auspicious (吉) |
| Five-element remedy direction | Optimise by keeping the embraced water outlook clear and unobstructed |
Why it matters in traditional feng shui
An embracing curve of water is traditionally seen as gathering and retaining beneficial energy, one of the more favourable water settings.
How to recognise it
Look for water whose concave (inner) curve wraps toward the property, as if holding it.
Traditional remedy direction
Being auspicious, the recommended action is to enhance rather than remedy it — keep the embraced water outlook open and unobstructed so the gathered energy is retained.
