Abstract

Water is the origin of all things and has been standing as a symbol of eternity which neglectes birth and death, or time and space. We mankind , however, confronts the water pollution or moreover the situation threatening even our existence as the results of considering it as mere consumables without any study on its original meaning or nature. Now, we should search for the way to understand the substance of water and to use it in the course of nature, getting rid of the altitude of merely consuming it. Our traditional way of life is in harmony with the nature and water has been adopted in the space as the important element of the nature especially as per the theory of geomancy. Man can be inspired by the plasticity , motion, sound , and reflectivity of water adopted and harmonized in the space, and the concept such as water both of inner and outer space or hierachy of a microcosmis to be composed by the natural order which lines up a man-water-space.
