Why do European houses seldom face south?

European houses don't choose to face south, on the one hand, because their cultural customs are different from our cultural traditions. Unlike us in China, they pay more attention to Feng Shui. Therefore, they are not taboo and do not pursue the good or bad of these feng shui. On the other hand, the housing orientation of Europeans is not without facing south. The orientation of the house is mainly determined by the lighting demand.

Speaking of geomantic omen, it is actually a superstition and taboo of China people. Many times, we will encounter problems related to Feng Shui. The construction of a house is on the one hand, the decoration of the house, the placement of furniture and so on. , all involve feng shui.

The so-called "sitting north facing south" is because the ancients thought that the sun rose in the east and set in the west. If you sit east facing west or west facing east, that means you can only enjoy the sunshine for half a day. Things are dominated by green dragons and white tigers, so the best position in geomantic omen should be sitting facing south. As the ancients said, when a house is built facing south, children have plenty of food and clothing. So people in the past were very particular about the orientation of the house.

But in Europe, the direction of architecture is definitely towards the most convenient side. For example, houses on both sides of the street, if the house on the left faces the street and just faces south, it means that the house on the right will definitely face south. Because Europeans are more pragmatic than superstitions, if facing north is more convenient than facing south, they will definitely choose to sit facing north.

And in European countries, different places have different lighting. If you are in a city, the direction may not matter. But in the suburbs, the orientation of the house must conform to the best direction of lighting.
