You live in the middle of a bustling city, You are on the seventh floor of a nine-floor building. Immediately behind your building rises a 16-floor apartment block. To your left is another building, just slightly taller that the one you live in. To the right is a low arcade with small shops. There is a wide street in front of your apartment building and the town houses on the other side of the street are set back from the pavement with a large forecourt. There may be something about your own particular apartment that you don't like, but you feel some sense of attachment to the overall location itself. It's no surprise: it conforms exactly to the prime requirements of the model of the cave and the river (strong support at the back and open space in front). It also conforms exactly to the model of The Five Animals: the solid tortoise in the rear, a rising dragon on the left, a lower, active tiger on the right, and space for your phoenix to fly ahead in front.
