Residential sitting orientation is the saying of ancient traditional architecture. Most houses in China are built in the form of quadrangles, and the orientation of each house represents the position of the house. The following methods are used to judge the orientation of the house.
In the house, facing the door, the direction of the house is the direction it faces at this time. This is called "Xiang" and the location of the house is called "Sit". Then the house facing south is the house facing north and the door facing south.
The principle of facing south is to correctly understand natural phenomena, conform to heaven, gain the aura of mountains and rivers, accept the brilliance of the sun and the moon, care for the body, cultivate feelings and achieve Excellence.

The main reasons for building a house facing south are as follows:
1. In order to collect more light, China is located near the Tropic of Cancer, generally in the northern hemisphere. If the house faces south, the lighting will be much better. If you face north, the light will be very poor. In ancient times, it was generally called "Yang" in the south and "Yin" in the north.
Speaking of which, some people must question that if the sun faces south now, it will be very hot. Even if there are air conditioners, fan lights and other technological products, there is no way to make the room comfortable. Is it particularly uncomfortable to have none of these in ancient times?
In fact, the ancients considered more than us, because most of the ancient houses were made of wood, and the floors were not high, and there was not much waterproof consciousness before, so the general home would be very humid and needed more sunshine to solve it.
Second, longing for a better future had different meanings in ancient times. In ancient times, the meaning of the word "North" was mostly not very good. First of all, it means deviation, which means people will be separated. Secondly, it means failure. People in the past were superstitious and didn't like failure. Third, it means failure, so people don't like the direction of the north.
And "South" has always been a thriving scene in ancient times. Most of the regime changes in ancient times started from the north, so people have a good impression on the south, so ordinary houses are built facing south.
Third, the ancient houses are basically on the first floor, and there are few on the second floor. In addition, the ancient houses were very big, and there were long eaves protruding from the joint of the two houses, which blocked a lot of sunlight from each other, resulting in little sunlight entering the house, and the windows of ancient buildings were mostly white paper or screens, in order to let more light in.
Due to the characteristics of ancient buildings, the eaves are generally very thick and long, which actually affects the lighting, so people will build their houses facing south to meet the requirements of people's lives.
