Why can't we build a shed on the east side of the house?

First, the east represents the purple gas from the east. According to legend, when Laozi left Hangu Pass, there was a sign of purple gas coming from the east, which was later regarded as a symbol of good luck by later generations. Second, in traditional culture, the East represents the dragon and the West represents the white tiger. There is an old saying: "If you are not afraid of the height of the dragon, you are afraid that the white tiger will look up." Therefore, in ancient architecture, the east will be higher than the west.

The scientific basis for Gaixi not to cover the east: First, the sun rises and sets in the west, and the high energy of the east house ensures the lighting time of the east house. If the west is high, it will affect the lighting; Second, the longer the lighting time, the better the living experience. On the contrary, the shorter the lighting time, the wetter the room will be, which is not conducive to health. In addition, in traditional culture, the Middle East wing houses are occupied by parents or people with high status, so special attention will be paid to lighting and drainage.
