How about sitting in a house facing south?
Why do you like sitting in a 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 sit 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.
Houses facing the sun all face south.
This is true in most parts of China, but from a global perspective, this statement is wrong. 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 230 degrees and 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, it is right that the houses in Chaoyang face south.
Every summer solstice, the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer, but in winter solstice, the sun goes to the Tropic of Cancer. So all the year round, the direct point of the sun always moves between the Tropic of Cancer, and in this area between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Cancer, the sun passes overhead twice a year, and sometimes the sun is in the southern sky. After a while, it will run to the northern sky again.
Not all the houses in Chaoyang face south.
In China, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Taiwan Province provinces are in the south, that is, 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.
