Sit facing south.

What do you mean by sitting facing south? If it is a high-rise building with windows facing south, that is, it can light from the south, it is called sitting north facing south. In the same way, the bungalow is where the sun comes in. If it comes in from the east, it is called sitting west facing east, and lighting from the back is called facing north.

Do you want a seat facing north or south? Sit facing south-the seat is in the north and the front of the seat is in the south.

Why does the emperor sit facing south? Maybe everyone has the impression that the emperors in TV dramas all sit facing south, and the main god in the temple also sits facing south. Why? Maybe you think the reason is very simple, because according to the relationship between direction and seniority in China's ritual system, the order of direction from seniority to seniority is southwest and northeast, and the emperor, as the son of heaven, will of course face south. What's the problem? Why should we respect the South? You won't answer, will you? We have to start with the Book of Changes. When it comes to the Book of Changes, some people certainly don't like it, saying it is feudal superstition. In fact, a person who doesn't even know what the Book of Changes says blindly calls it superstition. This is the biggest superstition: what is it called … subjective idealism. In fact, the Book of Changes itself contains many scientific theories and is a summary of the long-term experience of ancient working people. As for you asking me whether it is accurate to use it to tell fortune, it should be accurate in theory, because it actually uses a method similar to dialectical materialism. This is different from the fortune-telling you usually see. As for why, I won't say it here. Let's talk about why I ching is called I ching. Actually, it's called the Book of Changes accurately, and a passage was added at the back because it is in the classics department, and so is the Book of Songs. But I'm sorry that the Ministry of Economic Affairs doesn't have a classic called "Moon" or "Yin". Let's continue to say "Yi". Nowadays, Chinese teachers in middle schools have less literacy, so students are even less educated. This has to start with word formation: "Yi" is actually the day above and the month below. How vivid, the sun is coming and the moon is gone; The moon came, the sun left, and so on. When the ancients wanted to express the meaning of "change", they naturally drew a sun and a moon to form a "Yi" to express the change. Let's go further: flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are the same, and their faces are easy to get old. Appearance is "capacity", change is "easy", and together it is "easy". A word that we use every day contains such profound truth. As I said before, "Yi" means the alternation of the sun and the moon. Therefore, the Book of Changes is also about the law of things changing, and it is a relatively complete philosophical system. The ancients realized a long time ago that the development of things is a moving process, from embryonic stage to initial stage, after reaching the peak, it begins to decline until death, and then begins the next cycle. In fact, accurately speaking, the ancients thought that the development of things generally did not exceed six processes, (so a hexagram has six hexagrams, which are divided into yin and yang, and the sixth power of 2 is equal to 64, so 8864 hexagrams are derived). However, because this paper mainly solves the sorting problem of four directions, it is simplified to four directions. When things are in their infancy, like the sun at six o'clock, they begin to rise gradually from the east; Things continue to develop and reach the peak, just like the sun hanging in the south12; After the sun rises to the highest, it will begin to set slowly, which is the so-called decline stage of things. At six o'clock in the evening, the sun is not so vicious; In the last stage, the sun disappeared in the north. From this analysis, we can easily draw the conclusion that the south is the best and the north is the worst. So how do you sort East and West? East is the process of changing from yin to yang, which is itself yin; The west is a process from yang to yin, and this process itself is yang. This is in line with the saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse. So no one opposes that the West should respect the East. Here: the order of south, west and northeast has been decided. In addition, we also notice that for those who sit facing south, the second respect for the West is in their right hand, which is also in line with the principle of "respecting the right and condescending to the left" followed by Chinese etiquette in most cases. However, the relationship between left and right is more complicated. For example, by car, the carriage is left and the chariot is right, so I won't discuss it in detail here. Finally, it is pointed out that some data point out that the orientation is "respecting the north and restraining the south", which is easily misunderstood by modern people. What he said is that distinguished people should sit in the north, not the north is the distinguished direction. Imagine, if the south is the lowest position, how can the emperor's face (face) face such an unlucky position?

Why does this house face south? There are three reasons for choosing a house facing south:

1. Good lighting. "House Classics" says that indoor lighting is better where the windows face south, southeast or southwest. Sitting facing south can make full use of sunlight, which is warm in winter and cool in summer.

2. Good ventilation. Sitting facing south will make the air in the room fully circulate.

3. Avoid the north wind. Sitting facing south is not only for the lighting and ventilation of the house, but also to avoid the north wind. China is a country with monsoon climate. In winter, the Siberian cold current keeps invading, and in summer, the Pacific cool wind gradually rises, which makes the monsoon direction changeable all year round.

In this regard, China people had a profound understanding long ago, and divided the wind into yang wind and evil wind. "Land Correction" said: "Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between Yin and Yang. Warm wind and warm wind from east to south are called yang wind, which is just right. The cool wind and cold wind from west to north are called evil wind, so it is advisable to have a close example to stop it, otherwise the wind will blow the bones. " That means avoiding the northwest wind.

Generally speaking, it is not an ideal choice for property buyers to sit in a southwest-northeast house. Because in addition to poor lighting conditions, it is easy to absorb moist substances in the air, which is harmful to human health.

In fact, it is not easy to find the direction facing south, so based on the principle of due south, it is ok to tilt slightly to the east or west. If the house can't face south, we need to set more windows in the south, or open skylights, increase lighting and heating equipment, and plant some flowers and plants in the north to make up for it.

Due to the constraints of various conditions in the construction of modern intercity transportation, it is impossible for all houses to adopt rooms facing north to south. However, many excellent architects constantly designed the ideal living space environment for us, which effectively changed the problem of poor housing orientation and satisfied our desire for a healthy life.

What do you mean, sit facing south? Let me give you the simplest explanation, that is, at noon 12, when you enter the room, your back is to the sun. This is called sitting facing south, okay?

What is the explanation of sitting facing south in Feng Shui? The principle of sitting north facing south in geomantic omen,

As early as the primitive society, our ancestors built village houses in the direction of sitting north facing south, and most of the houses discovered by archaeology faced south.

The principle of sitting north facing south in geomantic omen

There is a difference between evil wind and yang wind. At the end of Qing Dynasty, He Guangting said in "geoscience correction": "Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between Yin and Yang. The warm wind from east to south is called yang wind, so it is just right. The cool wind and cold wind from west to north, called evil wind, are stopped by recent examples, otherwise the wind will blow the bones and chill the family. " This is to avoid the northwest wind.

Sitting facing south is not only for lighting, but also for shelter from the wind. The topography of China determines that its climate is monsoon. There is a Siberian cold current in winter, a Pacific cool wind in summer, and the monsoon direction changes all year round. There are records of wind measurement in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. "Historical Records" says: "Evil winds live in the northwest, and October is also. It's also November when the vast desert winds live in the north. The wind lives in the northeast, and the first month is also. Fengzhu East is also in February. "

There are several ways to express the position in geomantic omen: First, take the five elements of wood as the east, fire as the south, gold as the west, water as the north and soil as the middle. Second, take gossip as the south, ridge as the north, earthquake as the east and exchange as the west. Third, take Tiangan Party A and Party B as the east, Ding Bing as the south, Geng Xin as the west and Gui Ren as the north. Take the son of the earthly branch as the north and the noon as the south. Fourth, the east is black dragon, the west is white tiger, the south is suzaku, and the north is Xuanwu. Or: "Left Qinglong, right White Tiger, Former Suzaku, Later Xuanwu." Wu Xingzhi's "Lights Up" records the layout of Xing Wu county governance in Song Dynasty: the hall is in the middle, the door is in front, the side warehouse is in the back, the breeze winds to the left, and there is a dragon elephant. The first floor of "Bright Moon" is independent southwest and tiger-shaped, according to Yin and Yang.

Why are all the houses in our country facing south? Why is there such a layout? China people have a habit of buying a house, and they always like to "sit facing south". Some people call it "bedroom feng shui". Ancient temples and Taoist temples are built in deep mountains and dense forests, often backed by green mountains and facing green waters, and are considered by the people as "a treasure trove of geomantic omen". This does have some scientific truth. Back (north) by the castle peak, winter can block the cold wind, summer can meet the cool south wind; In front of the gurgling stream, it provides the necessary water source; The dense forest of Skull Mountain provides fresh air again. Such a beautiful natural environment makes people living here relaxed and happy, and the solid rock foundation has made the building last for hundreds of years.

The habit of "sitting north facing south" in China is also scientifically justified. China is located in the northern hemisphere, most of which is in the northern temperate zone. The sun rises from the east to the south and sets in the west. In winter, the height angle of the sun is small, and the doors and windows of the house face south, which can let more oblique sunlight into the room, thus increasing the indoor temperature. In summer, the height angle of the sun increases, and the light in doors and windows is relatively less, thus keeping the room cool. Then, most of China is located in the East Asian monsoon region, and the houses all face south. In midsummer, you can avoid the direct sunlight in the hottest afternoon, and in winter, you can avoid the cold wind in the northwest, which plays a role in preventing cold and keeping warm.

What's the difference between transparent north and south and sitting facing south? North-south permeability refers to air convection on both sides, and the light on both sides is good and transparent.

Sitting facing south only expresses one direction, and the side of the balcony window facing south does not mean that the light or air in the north is good.

What is the basis of China's house facing south? 1. The house facing south used to be called the first house, because it was warm in winter and cool in summer, with plenty of light. Even in winter, sunlight can shine into the depths of the room, making people feel bright and warm. As soon as you enter the room, you will feel comfortable. Moreover, in this living room, in summer, when the sun rises close to the top of the head, the house cannot be exposed to strong sunlight. In addition, the southeast wind can also be blown into the house through windows and portals, making people feel cool and comfortable. So people in China are willing to live in the north room, that is, the room facing south. 2. Before China, the main foreign invasion came from the north. Therefore, in the psychology of China people, they often have to be wary of the north. Therefore, this latent and subconscious psychological threat gradually opened the door in the north and formed a psychological burden. Therefore, there is a reason why China people don't want to live in a house facing south. And if you open the door in the north, your front door will be attacked by the north wind in winter, so not opening the door in the north is another factor. Speaking of which, you may ask, do all the houses in Chaoyang face south? The answer is: This is true for most parts of China, but not for the whole world. Because for different regions, the orientation of the sun in the sky is different. To understand this problem, we must start with the revolution of the earth. We all know that the earth walks sideways when it goes around the sun. Because of this, when you observe the sun from the earth, you will find that the position of the sun in the sky is constantly changing, but your position has not changed. So from this, we can know that the intensity of sunlight in different areas is different, so houses that don't face south are sunny. The direct point of the sun can only move back and forth near the equator, and the northernmost point can only reach 23 degrees 27 minutes north latitude, which is what we call the Tropic of Cancer. Moving south can only reach 23 degrees 27 minutes south latitude, which is the so-called tropic of Capricorn. Therefore, it is impossible for the sun to run overhead in the area north of the Tropic of Cancer. Therefore, the sun always hangs in the southern sky. The vast majority of China's territory is north of the Tropic of Cancer. Because of this, in China, most Chaoyang houses face south. It is located in the south of Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces in China, just south of the Tropic of Cancer. Therefore, around the summer solstice, when the sun shines directly near the tropic of cancer, the sun will shoot down from the northern sky. So the houses facing south in this area are not sunny, while the houses facing north are sunny. So from the world's point of view: "All the houses in Chaoyang face south". So this sentence is wrong. The reason why modern people prefer to sit in a house facing south is actually from the above traditional concept.

Later, Chao Hun, a politician of the Han Dynasty, proposed. When choosing a city site, we should consider the combination of yin and yang, taste the taste of its springs and judge the suitability of its land, which is calling for a strange world. Northern Yin, Southern Yang, North and South Shanyin, Lubei Yang.

Sitting facing south is not only for lighting, but also to avoid the north wind. The topography of China determines that its air is seasonal. There is a cold current in northwest Asia in winter, a cool breeze in the Pacific Ocean in summer, and the direction of monsoon changes all year round.

The scenery is in the south, and it is also May. The cool breeze lives in the southwest, and it is also June. Occasionally, the wind will live in the west, and in September.

There is a difference between evil wind and yang wind. Dogs can pass through the imperial court's book "Geographical Approval to the South". It is recorded that Pingyang is not afraid of the wind, but there is a difference between yin and yang. It is no harm that the warm wind from east to south is warm and warm, which is called yang wind. The cold wind from west to north is called Ming wind, and there is a blue case. Otherwise, the wind will blow the bones and the family will decline. This means avoiding the northwest wind.
