Digging Wells and Ponds
Excavating wells and ponds.
'Digging Wells and Ponds' refers to the construction of wells and ponds, either simultaneously or separately. In traditional agrarian societies, these two facilities were crucial water sources for sustaining life and production. The excavation required significant manpower and resources, and was believed to be related to terrestrial energy and water sources. Consequently, it was customary to choose an auspicious day for the work, hoping for a smooth process and an abundant, enduring water supply in the future.
