Jade Embrace玉带环腰 · EF-12
TL;DR — Core Definition
Jade Belt Embrace (玉带环腰) is an auspicious traditional feng shui formation in which a road curves around a property on its concave (embracing) side, wrapping the home like a belt at the waist.

| Visual cue | A road embracing the home on its concave side |
| Nature | Auspicious (吉) |

Why it matters in traditional feng shui
An embracing road curve is the favourable counterpart of the reverse bow, traditionally read as gathering and protecting the site.
How to recognise it
Check whether a nearby road's concave curve wraps toward and around the property.
Traditional remedy direction
As an auspicious formation, the recommended action is to enhance it — keep the embraced frontage open and unobstructed rather than counter it.
