How do you look at the direction of the house?

To accurately determine the direction of a house, you must know the azimuth angles of the house's back and front directions on the ground plane, that is, you must determine the direction and direction of the house. Originally, this was not a problem that needed to be solved, because the ancients had determined the principle of sitting direction a long time ago. But it has become more complicated for modern urban buildings and homes. So how do you look at the direction of the house?

1. What is the orientation of a house? And how to judge the sitting direction of a house

To accurately determine the direction of a house, you must know the azimuth angles of the house's back and front directions on the ground plane, that is, you must determine the direction and direction of the house. Originally, this was not a problem that needed to be solved, because the ancients determined the principle of sitting direction a long time ago, which is to use the direction of the door as the basis for standing direction. However, modern urban architecture and homes have become extremely complicated. After a detailed analysis, how should the house orientation be viewed?

2. Why does it become complicated to judge the orientation of modern houses?

The main reason is that modern architecture has significantly different characteristics compared with ancient architecture:

1. Ancient Chinese houses are usually single-story or low-rise, and are generally inhabited by ordinary people. Most houses are one-story buildings, and most are two-story or three-story buildings; while modern houses are mostly high-rise or multi-story buildings, and hundreds of residents live in each building, which creates It is a question of whether the vertical orientation should be based on the entire building or each individual house.

2. Ancient Chinese houses often have doors and windows in the same direction and on the same wall, which means that windows and doors are placed on the same wall. Even in stacked buildings such as deep houses and courtyards, each door is usually in the same direction as the entire building. The door of the building faces the same direction; however, the door and exterior windows of modern buildings have different positions. At the same time, the door positions of each house and building are also different. Therefore, there arises the issue of whether the orientation should be based on the door of each household or the main door of the building, and the differences between the orientation of the windows or the door.

3. When building a house in ancient China, the orientation is usually determined according to the terrain, and the principle of a round sky and a round place is followed when building a house. When building a house, the square shape is often used. Mainly; in modern architecture, in order to pursue architectural characteristics, the shapes of houses are ever-changing. Even on the same terrain, the orientation and shapes of various buildings will vary greatly. So there was a dispute over whether to orient it according to the height of the terrain or the door of the building.

3. How do you look at the direction of the house?

1. Judgment based on the direction of the main door of a building;

2. Judgment based on the individual door of each household;

3. Each household can judge the direction of the large window or balcony where the sunlight can be seen, which can also be called the Yang orientation;

4. Judge according to the height of the terrain around each building, and use sitting Determine the direction of the house based on the principle of high to low;

5. Make judgments based on the buildings and roads around each building, that is, use the principle of sitting on high buildings and facing the road, and then each house in the building Make a judgment based on the direction of the building.
