Does the East in Feng Shui refer to the place where the sun rises?

There is no doubt that the East of Feng Shui refers to the East where the sun rises.

Your doubts may come from the geomantic astrolabe or the numbers are generally up and down, and Zuo Dong is right and west, which is different from modern maps, right?

Feng Shui used to be only an academic study in the palace, and the emperor was not allowed to spread it to the people. Therefore, it can be said that ancient geomantic omen served the emperor, and the imperial capital of China has been in the north since ancient times. From the emperor's point of view, the south is in front, the north is behind, and Zuo Dong is in the west, so traditionally, the geomantic chart and astrolabe are up and down, just for the convenience of the emperor.

However, whether it is a modern map or a geomantic astrolabe, the relationship between the southeast and the northwest has not changed, but the perspective is different.
