There is an old line passed down among practitioners — a grave should not neighbour slashing-foot water; a house should not face the tiger's mouth. Water close to the threshold looks like prosperity: a lake view, a riverfront. Lived in over years, it works quietly against three things at once.古语有云：「坟墓不邻割脚水，盖房不对老虎嘴。」临水而居，看似坐拥财气——湖景、河岸；然而日久天长，它会悄然同时损及三处。
A washed foundation, and a slow toll on health.地基受损，健康隐患重重。
On the plainest, physical level, water scouring the base over years leaves the foundation unstable, and moisture seeps up through the ground. The lower floors stay damp, cold and dim. Living in that, the body grows prone to rheumatism, aching joints, respiratory illness and a weakened constitution — and it is the elderly and the children, the frailest in the home, who feel it first.在科学与现实层面，水流长期冲刷会导致地基不稳，水分易渗入地下，使房屋底层长期处于潮湿阴冷的状态。居住其中，极易引发风湿骨痛、呼吸系统疾病与免疫力下降；体质较弱的老人与小孩，往往最先受害。
Fortune adrift, and wealth that won't hold.运势飘荡，财气大起大落。
When the home's feet are cut by water, its roots float and the base never settles. Families living beside slashing-foot water tend to see fortune blow hot and cold. They may make money in a year that favours them, but it rarely keeps — investments turn, money leaks, and wealth runs off the way water runs, never to return.房屋的「腿脚」被水割伤，象征着根基浮动。居于割脚水旁的家庭，财运往往反复无常：当运之年或能赚得一笔，却难以长久积蓄，极易遭遇投资失利、破财漏财，财富如流水般一去不返。
A grave is not laid beside slashing-foot water; a house is not raised facing the tiger's mouth.坟墓不邻割脚水，盖房不对老虎嘴。
Bound feet, and the disputes that follow.牵绊人际，招惹是非官非。
Just as bound feet make every step a struggle, life, career and the workplace turn heavy under this pattern. Careers stall and relationships sour; out in the world one meets petty obstructers rather than benefactors, and small frictions can harden into disputes — even lawsuits — with little help close at hand.正如人的双脚受到束缚，举步维艰，居者在生活、事业与职场上便处处受阻。家中成员事业不顺、人际转恶，在外易犯小人、难得贵人相助，些许摩擦也可能演成是非纠纷，甚至官司。
Where you can, read the land before you buy — a beautiful waterline is not always a kind one. If you already live with slashing-foot water, bring in a professional consultant promptly; the pattern can still be softened and redirected.选址购房，应在落定之前读懂这片山水——临水未必皆吉。若已入住割脚水之局，应及时请专业风水师勘察化解，格局尚可调整与导引。
